Hello everyone

My name is Mike, I live in South Wales and find myself approaching retirement with little idea of how I am going to spend it apart from looking after the grandkids that is. I do not have much of a garden and what I do have is low maintenance.

I starting working in horticulture as a 17 year old and was lucky to have been put through college for 3 years by my employer (the old Usk Horticultural College if anyone can remember it) With this knowledge at my disposal or so I thought i would return to where it all started but having spent so long out of the industry and not doing much gardening at home I find so much has changed.

So my new hobby to be is going to be more of a challenge than I first thought. that's why I have signed up here to help fill in the gaps in my knowledge. I am hoping as soon as I start talking and more importantly start doing some bits of it will come back to me.
