    Just thought I would say hi!
    I'm a young and utterly hapless gardener currently in Oxfordshire. My 'garden' consists of a few tubs that my landlord tolerates on the patio and whatever fits on my windowsill but it brings me joy. I dream of one day having a little patch of solid ground all of my own.
    Hoping to keep my unfortunate plants alive a bit longer with some guidance from you. :P

        Welcome to Gardeners Corner, I hope you get our own patch of ground one day but in the meantime enjoy your pots and tubs :smile:

          Welcome to the forum @BumbleSlug

          Have you thought about getting an allotment, my daughter has a quarter sized plot which is good for starters.

            That is a lovely idea. I didn't realise you could get such small plots. My parents kept a couple of plots when I was small, I have very fond memories.

            Welcome. It is amazing what you can grow in tubs and planters.
