Hiya SasyRedHead

Hope you don't mind but I moved you to the New Shoots area as I thought it might fit better in there

Welcome to the 'vine!

Well hello there...and welcome!!

Do you have a lottie, or are you growing in your garden??
If you'd like to add your approx location to your profile , then it will help with any advice/questions in the future as different localities have slightly different requirements ( bet you say Australia now I've asked!!!!)

I'm sure you'll enjoy the site SasyRedHead!

Hello SasyRedHead,

I only joined yesterday and already I've found out what ate my goosgog bush and when and how I should move it! Fab forum!

Looks like we'll both get lots of hints and tips from here.

Welcome!

Be warned! I joined in March and am hopelessly addicted! It feels like a real community and people are very generous with their advice and often even spare seeds! Hope you like it enough to stay.

Hi SasyRedHead & welcome. Hope you decide to stay, we're all very friendly if somewhat unhinged in some cases!

Yes, welsome sassyredhead & Lumpyjumper. I too only joined a short while ago & have found everyone very welcoming & helpful. Be warned though, the site should come with an addictive-ness warning - I've got no work done since i found it!!

And none of us are really growing anything at the moment! Just wait till things start hotting up in Spring, it really is a madhouse on here!

I think your main problem Terrier is you have no door to put the hinges on!
