    Hello everyone

    I'm an English woman, 50 yrs old, living and working here in Belgium since 1992.

    I have recently been made redundant, so can finally (FINALLY!) spend some time in my beloved garden. This will be the first year that I have the time and can actually do all the things I've been meaning to do, or have half done, over the past years. :dbgrtmb:

    I'm really looking forward to it - just having the time to potter around will be absolute bliss for me!

    I have a south facing, square-shaped garden which is approximately 21m (63ft) long by 14m (42ft) wide. Part of it is grass, part gravel garden, part flower/shrubs, with a 2.5m x 4m (8ft x 12ft) greenhouse and a back raised border (which is a complete mess and one of the first jobs that needs to be done, before the back fence falls down!:rolleyespink:)

    I will be looking for some help and guidance from this site, as although I have been gardening for years this will be the first time that I'll be doing it 'properly', so to speak.

    Have a good day everyone - and happy gardening:)
