    Hi Everyone,

    Just thought I would introduce myself as I am new to the site.

    My Gardens are currently work in progress as during the last 3 years builders and illness have seen my garden deteriorate into a mess. Hard work this last spring (and returning health) has made a big difference, and things are looking much better.

    Planning now for the plants next year. I have a mix of Shrubs, Hardy Perennials, and Annuals. I enjoy all aspects of gardening even slug/snail hunting and weeding, and although I have my methods, I am always willing to listen and learn. I would say I have average success with my garden, and hope that time spent with you good folk will help me improve on that.

    Happy gardening.

    Steve
