    [​IMG] Dave.. If this is your 1st garden for a while then your mind must be working overtime as to what you want to do here there & everywhere in this new garden.. Is it a mature garden or a new garden.. There are plenty of peoples gardens to see in the Members Gallery forum as well as countless threads about all sorts of projects members are doing or have done.. Have a cruise around the forums.. Photos are always welcome as then members can see & know what you are talking about...
    Look forward to seeing you around then.. :thmb:

    Ah! Thomas Hardy country. Welcome.

    Stick up a couple of pictures of what you have at present. A picture is worth a thousand words.

    Welcome Dave. I grew up near Poole so know the area well. If you're in Oakdale, I guess you've got sandy soil?!:lollol:

    May seem a silly question, but how do I go about posting a new thread in the general gardening section? I can't see an obvious 'way in'. Sorry to be a pain.:old:

    Click the 'New Thread' button just above 'Threads in Forum' (it's not immediately obvious)
