  • Hello from the Isle of Man

    Hi everyone - I'm Anne from the Isle of Man.

    I am a complete novice at gardening, completely clueless but dead keen to learn . So I hope you don't mind lots of questions.

    I have been a full-time carer to my adult son (now 22) who has Autism Spectrum Disorder for the past 5 years. Over the past year (which was a tough one) my own health has started to suffer so I have decided to start to look after myself by starting gardening

    I have a tiny back yard so am thinking about 2 x 4' square gardening raised beds - one on concrete and one on very poor soil - I've already found the square gardening thread and read it all . Also, thinking about containers and some vertical gardening as well.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all and having a giggle.

    Love Annexxx

    A very warm welcome to the forum, dear Anne.
    Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
    Everything is worthy of kindness.

                      Hello and welcome from down here.
                      I must go back to IoM one day having spent much of my childhood visiting family in Laxey and Ramsey.
                      Enjoy the Vine and watch out for those gigglers
