  • Springing back! Hello! :)

    Hi, my names is Katie and I joined this forum a couple of years ago, been pretty quiet over winter because we have been moving and now I'm back because I want to get green fingered in my new garden!
    Which section of the forum am I best to post questions about my new garden? Things like identifying lots of plants / weeds/ shrubs /seedlings / trees!? The garden seems to be quite well established in the front but absolutely overrun with weeds I can identify simple ones like dandelion and dock (which I can feed to my rabbits!) but there are lots where I'm unsure whether they are weeds which will quickly spread or plants that are just coming up...
    The back garden has been 'landscaped' apparently..it has borders filled with kind of architectural spiky looking plants and a new looking lawn. I want to get some flowers in the beds but I have to do it sneakily, as if they've naturally come up, as my husband wants it left all boring!!
    I also want to start a veg patch but my husband has been pretty fussy about where it is.. I'm not allowed to 'spoil' the back garden!!!! So I have been allocated a very overgrown mess in the front garden but am keen to rope my dad into help clear it and dig it over so I can at least get something in the ground this season!

    Whoop sorry! A rather long hello message!!! Any ideas on where to post photos to identity plants then please let me know, I'm off to take some photos! (Which maybe called procrastinating from weeding!!... I will get out and weed the weeds I know are weeds!!)

    Thanks fir any pointers

    Welcome! You can upload photos to Albums that you create in your profile on here, or, if you use the IStore app, directly into posts, I believe

      Welcome back to the vine Katie, have a look at the list of sub threads and see which you think is most appropriate one to post in............don't worry too much about placing posts & pics in the wrong place as we have a group of mods who are a wiz at moving things so you can never find them again.................

                Hello and welcome back.
                You need to find lots of photos of beautiful vegetable gardens to show your husband. Sounds like he needs a little training - I've managed it, but it did take a while!!
                Enjoy.
