    Hi All,

    New to the forum, never been into flowers and gardening...always left it to my parents when I lived with them.

    But now that I have my own place with a fairly good size garden, I started to enjoy planting some flowers and making the garden look nice. Missus tells me it's a sign of old age (I'm 26) lol.

    I will post some pictures of the garden tomorrow and what I've done so far, but looking to spend as much time as I can throughout this summer in the garden and as best as I can do it, so will need a lot of help and advice from you all!

            Hello and welcome Kayfaz.

            Be warned, gardening is extremely addictive. You'll be hosting a barbecue on day in the summer and one of your guests will casually remark about one of your plants, and without even thinking about it you'll be telling them its botanical name, its properties and characteristics, and why you chose that particular plant for that spot, but that you're going to move it spring because it doesn't fit in with your new grand plan for next year:)
