    Hi,
    I'm Tina and I'm new here. I'm somewhat new to gardening but have kept a small vegetable garden in the past. I'm hoping to start up a container garden next year and hope to learn a lot here from more experienced gardeners!

      Welcome to Gardeners Corner :)

      Looking forward to seeing you around the forum. Almost everything I grow is in containers, so if I can help just let me know :)

        Hi Tina,
        I love growing in containers. If you put something in a spot that's too sunny or shady, you can just move it!

          Welcome to GC. :dbgrtmb:

          With a bit of practice you can get to grow lots of colourful plants in containers. It's not difficult but you need to spend a bit of time with the watering and feeding (and a little bit of pampering early in the season :)). :blue thumb:

              I wondered if it was @shiney but I've not seen it that colour before. I haven't grown Lobelia for years.
