    I'm Dave from the U.S. I know that this is a UK based forum but I'd love to learn from all of you here. I just started a landscaping and mowing gig. It's great because I don't have to interact that much with people. I also have a garden in my property. I usually plant fruits and vegetables and I really enjoy doing it.

    I hope you're all perfectly splendid!

      Hi Dave and welcome.

      What State are you in? I have lived in New York, Connecticut, Alabama and South Carolina. My husband is from Ohio. I am British (from Wales) however we live in Portugal now. This forum has members from many countries but the British are the best when it comes to gardening.

      Good luck with your new business and enjoy the forum.

                  Wow! You moved a lot.

                  That's great to know. I'll be reading a lot and maybe, I'll be asking a lot too. LOL!

                  I'm originally from Oregon but I now live in Utah.

                  Thank you!

                    Not really. I just have about 150 square meters of extra space that I turned into a garden. I also have a small greenhouse about 10' X 20'. I do have flowers but I focus more on food-bearing plants.

                          There have been a couple of threads in the forum about members starting off on their own gardening business you might find interesting, though as folk have pointed out, we generally do things on a smaller scale this side of the pond, many of us not as lucky as you to have so much space.
                          8x6 is a more typical greenhouse size here, think we would all love a big 10x20 ! :biggrin:

                            LOL! I thought it was small because I've seen other greenhouses bigger that what I have.
