Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to say Hello, so apologies if its not.. :oops: I'm new here and trying to find my way around!

I'm Hazel and I live in the mythical village of Ibstock. My gardening adventures have been somewhat limited up to now and so I am hoping to learn from the masters!

I've been recommended to come here by a friend of mine who goes by the name of Jopsy.. you may know her?

Looking forward to learning from and chatting to you all!

A very warm welcome Hazel, i used to lay bricks that came from around the Ibstock area.
I see that you know the one and only young Jopsy, never mind everyone has a cross to bear in life. :shock: :D :wink:
Hope you have got a good sense of humour, but i suppose you must have if you know Jopsy. :wink:
Most of the people on hear are pretty friendly, so just ask any questions you want. :D
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Hi Hazel,

we live just down the road in Scraptoft. You're right about Ibstick being "mythical" though :twisted:
Kindest Regards, Piglet

Thank you for your lovely welcome!

I've heard of Scraptoft - I work in Leicester you see!

I've just spent the weekend with young Jo and the lovely Lily and a splendid time was had by all.

I'd love to grow my own Butternut Squash actually, will have to scour this site for tips!

Hello AT - welcome. You may find us a bit barmy, but nevertheless, we'll have something new to offer. No doubt - you will too! As for Jopsy - well - we all have our crosses to bear............

I'll try and be on my best behaviour Jopsy, since you asked so nicely. :wink:
Tigger, i hope you were not implying that i'm Jopsy's cross :shock: if so, how could you think such a thing. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Hello Alan's trowel. My name is Allan (yes, two l's) I bought my first trowel when I had short trousers and WW2 was on, been busy on and off ever since. I mostly take the line that if you can't eat it then don't grow it, but I have some pet flowers.If you want to buy another one look out for a Draper one with a blue handle at £1.99, excellent value. I don't join in the social chatter but know a few things about edibles, what I don't know can usually be found on the Internet or in my library.
