    Hello

    Just joined this forum as I'm finally getting around to doing my garden after living in my home for nearly 8 years!! :o

    My garden is modest and a bit of mud pit to honest. I have some great ideas for it, but don't know much about gardening or where to start. I'm dead excited about getting it done for Spring so I can finally use it during Spring, Summer and Autumn so thought the best place to start is here. :)

    Jo (a very green (round the gills) gardener)

    I like your thinking, never go rushing into gardening. DO NOT get carried away and go at it like a bull at a gate. Little and often, it should be a pleasure and a pleasurable passtime :sunny: Cheers, Tony.

      Hi Jo and welcome to the forum :)

      What sort of plants do you want to grow? Flowers or veggies? It's cheaper to start them from seed, but some take longer that way. Let us know your preferences and we will do our best to come up with ideas.
