About me
66 and retired. Happy to help with problems, and welcoming of advice from others as far as gardening is concerned. Recently gave up a more demanding hobby in favour of more gardening, and the cash from sale of assets enabled me to get a really nice greenhouse, after much searching for the right one. I love to visit gardens both public and private, and am happy to offer a cup of tea or coffee to visitors to my own humble efforts. Wildlife welcome except rabbits, wasps and magpies.

Gardening expertise
Very Keen

Biggest gardening accomplishments
Finding out by trial and error what works and what does not, and finding ways of increasing the number of things that work.

Biggest gardening frustrations
The weather!! And 'Events, dear boy, events!!'

The gardening project I am currently working on
Re-planting tired beds and borders using plants from nurseries, not garden centres, and the first batch of over 400 seedlings from the new greenhouse.
