    Well after an hour of trying to get Registered on here I have done it! It obviously does not like sending confirmation emails to AOL accounts so changed to Gmail and all is well! Well almost, just got plants dying strangely , 5 so far 2 different varieties.
    But hey!
    Hello all gardeners!
    Is this forum as good as it suggests?

      :sign0016::yes:.........of course it is, Howard.!!!!! We have all levels of gardening experience from the outright beginner to the Specialist, the experienced and knowledgeable, those who garden from balconies, backyards, small to medium gardens and those with an acre or two. They're all very friendly, very helpful..........and some slightly [mentioning no names:heehee:] crazy, and there's always a sense of humour running through. Sorry to hear you had troubles getting registered but persistence paid off........and it really it worth it.:hapydancsmil::heehee:

          Welcome to GC Howard. :) This forum is better than it suggests but I'm biased! :heehee: Have a good scout around the many subjects we have, from gardening to everyday general discussion, from pets and wildlife to photography, it's all here on offer!

          That's my sales pitch, back to the boards now! :biggrin: Enjoy yourself.
