    After a "short break" I finally returned. Sadly now I don't have a garden, so you might wonder why am I here? I have decided to grow some herbs on my window sill and get a house plant or two to brighten up the "new" flat (well, ten months now). I haven't forgotten that this is a great site to learn from, so I am sure I will find the best advice here, if I become stuck.

    I'm looking forward to when I finally have a garden again and hope that by reading the forum it will give me ideas and dreams for the future, to make up for not having one right now.

        Hi

          Thanks all.

          We are getting a cat soon, so I will need to keep that in mind when choosing plants (and placing them!).
