    Hi

    I just joined the forum. I'm a complete novice and have never gardened before in my life. Recently moved to London to a garden flat, overrun with weeds :(

    I've been bitten by the gardening bug already! I love flowers and would love to give my garden a makeover (and I'll need all the help I can get)!!

    Pics of un-identifiable plants to follow shortly :what:

    Looking forward to the beginning of a new adventure! :D

    First job - loose the weeds.
    Second Job - lay a carpet.

    You'd never know they were there.:heehee::heehee:

    Hi NoviceG - Welcome to the Forum.

    You will find here a wealth of knowledge and experience and friendly, practical advice for all levels of gardener. Some of our contibutors warrant a place on the Gardeners Question Time panel !!

    As HYDROGEN86 remarks above, you will very soon need to change your username.

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!! :)

    Hopefully come next summer, I'll be able to upload some pics on this forum of the very first flowers I've ever grown in my life...wish me luck!!

    I've uploaded pics of a few of the many plants I'm yet to identify on the "identification area" of the forum - any suggestions please?

    Thanks!
