    Hello everyone... I am a newbie to the forum, and to gardening.

    All my adult life I have lived in apartments in the city centre... until I bought my first house in December in the suburbs of Bristol. And all of a sudden I have a back garden with flower beds, a small lawn, and a patch of rough ground that might some day make a vegetable patch...

    I am starting from scratch so will have lots of questions.

    I thought I chose 'Kon' as my user name but it seems to be showing up as 'None'. Maybe a moderator can advise if there is a way to change this? 'None' makes me feel invisible.

      Hi Kon,

      Welcome to Gardeners Corner :)

      Nice garden you have. A bit of a blank canvas so you can mould it to your liking.
