    Hello, as a complete contrast to that great introduction posted yesterday from New Zealand by Barefoothaven, I'm currently sat in Northern England looking out onto a small garden with a layer of light frost on it....

    I'm very much a interested but basic level gardener who is looking forward to learning more.

    Happy gardening all

    Paul

      Welcome Paul. You'll get lots of help and inspiration here if you need it, they're a great bunch. Plus you can have a few laughs while we wait for the weather to warm up. How long have you had the garden?

          In this day and age we must be careful how you phrase things like that :) White Rose of Yorkshire or Red Rose of lancashire:)
