Hi silvermam and welcome to the vine and the land of the larger than postage stamp sized garden

Loads of helpful folks on here - but if you join the Sunday chat don't forget a large measure of your tipple (makes way more sense under the affluence of incahol)

Hello Silvermam and welcome. Glad you could join us bunch of grapes called the vine. Hope you enjoy it here and get as much excitement from growing your own as we do.

Hi silvermam, nice to meet you! I think it was about this time last year that I joined as a newbie, and I've never looked back since! Watch out, it gets addictive! There is a really great bunch of Grapes here, all ages and levels of experience, so don't be afraid to ask questions you think might be a bit daft.

Just wanna say hi and welcome Silvermam. Take heed of the greetings before mine - this forum should carry a health warning - it is highly addictive - and very helpful to all and sundry on the subject of GYO, so never be afraid to ask anything - we've all been where you are at some point - but I can guarantee you'll never look back. Enjoy.
