    Hello fellow Gardeners!
    I feel slightly at odds calling myself a gardener at present, as I'm very new to it all. However, this seems the perfect place to learn. Some things are growing beautifully (blueberries! Hurrah!) and some things are now in the green bin (Romanesco broccoli, which I recently discovered is more caterpillar breeding ground than an exciting and must anticipated addition to the veggie patch). First stop however, is learning how to deal with a compacted, brown and sad (scorched actually) lawn. So my first post is coming up. Thanks in advance for all the sage wisdom and advice!
    Jane
