New Newbie
« on: July 06, 2020, 08:38 »
Hi EveryOne
Just joined last night,thought i would introduce myself,Having gone from Full Time to Part Time work at 60, i have now gone into retirement at 63, so with more  time on my hands,have started to enjoy the garden more,especially with the Lock Down. Although i don't know a great deal about gardening,i am finding it a great interest, and a way of slowing down the pace of my life,that i was not used to,as being a Professional Driver i was always chasing Time.
ANYHOW I am Looking forward to reading Posts from you learned folk ,and probably making a few posts along the way for HELP,and ADVICE. :(
best regards 
                 tony

Hi and welcome,

I retired 2 years ago and taking on an allotment was the best choice - the other one was interfering with my wife's routine (she had retired a few years before).  So it really was the only sensible choice. :-)

Lots of tips on here, often people pose a question that helps.

Tony B.

Welcome Blue Thumb - hope we can at least help your other digits turn green.  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
