    Just introducing myself...
    I would call myself a part-time gardener that has a little knowledge. I delight in nature's 'gifts' i.e. plants coming up spontaneously and favour a more naturalistic approach rather than everything clipped to within 1" of its life!

    I have a lawn meadow (struggling to become replete with tall wildflowers), a young fig tree (that only occasionally fruits), a very tall bay tree, a medlar tree, some rose bushes, deep red peonies and lots of plants in pots.

    I consider myself to be creative (was a singer/songwriter, did stand up comedy and dabble in free verse poetry and watercolours). Mostly though I am spiritually focused.

    I look forward to participating on this forum and, hopefully, have a few laughs along the way. :spinning:

      Welcome to GC @rosebay :sign0016: - your username and avatar is one of my favourite wildflowers :spinning: growing up in Scotland, the verges and hedgerows were packed with them ever year.

      You are not all that far from me as well - I am on the SW edge of London (technically, I live in Surrey, but the nearest London borough boundary is about a mile or less away.

      Hope you like it here :)

          Good evening @rosebay and a very warm welcome to GC, I think you will like it here. Lots of laughs to be had and great info if you're into gardening (which I assume you are, seeing as it's a gardening forum!) looking forward to chatting with you - oh and if you have a pet don't forget to post them in pets corner and while you're there check out @Nigalius sausage dog Frankie - hilarious! Have a good evening x x x
