    Hello all!
    Just a quick introduction whilst im finding my way around the site.
    I've only recently found my green fingers and i have to say im really enjoying it, I have quite a large garden and have just finished my flower/shrub bed to add a little colour to the place.
    I'm thinking about making up some containers with spring bulbs but havent had much success with bulbs in the past and ive also taken a few cuttings which im hoping will root!
    As you can imagine ive got loads to learn and look forward to interacting with you all :)

    p.s i'm very nosy where gardens are concerned so my 1st stop is a photo thread lol

          Welcome AndreaOwl. :) You could take a look in the Garden Projects forum and see what wonderful transformations have gone on in members gardens. We're nosey too, so would like to see your garden pictures when you have time.

          Hello AndreaOwl, welcome to the forum.

          You state you have a big garden ... so have you ever thought about having a beehive ?

          The bees would help your flowers, the hive would help the bee population and the bees will help you, with some free honey
