does everybody feel like this when they join ? :?

Most people do, though some are more experienced than others when they join.  Ask as many questions as you like.  If you don't get an immediate answer don't worry, it really depends who is online at the time.

I want to join in more but know nothing    , so just doing alot of reading here at moment . Theres alot to take in tho i find.

[Iain@JBA]

There are people on here in the same boat as you new guys.
The only thing I know about is potatoes and that is it.
The only way to learn is to ask the question and wait for the answer or check the threads and see if it has been asked before.

We all started knowing nothing, that's what is so great about this forum, a great, friendly bunch who are always more than willing to help where they can.

I'm not new to gardening, so I know quite a bit about plants in general, and even a fair bit about veg growing from books, but there are some very large gaps, and I have almost zero practical experience of veg growing.

We've all learned gardening the same way -  by doing everything wrong first    Someone likened it to riding a bicycle; can't do it alone on the first try so you keep getting back on and pedaling and eventually you can do it.

Hi Rem

I was the same.  I got my  plot last Feb and don't know what I would have done without this site and its (very patient) members.

I even took my laptop with me one day hoping I could piggyback on some unsuspecting neighbours wireless if I ran into a problem and needed to ask a question  :oops:  Shocking behaviour lol.

I'm not just as panicky these days and have gained an enormous amount of knowledge, a lot of it from the mistakes I made along the way.

I ended my first year having had more successes than failures and I owe that to the help I got here.  

[FCG]

I've asked a good few hundered questions. You're not wrong.

This place is possibly the 2nd best place to win knowledge about growing plants. The best is like everyone says, making mistakes.

I joined here just over a year ago when I got my allotment.... I have learnt so much I just cant describe it.....

I'm definatly in agreement you learn the most from mistakes but you'll avoid a lot of them by readin whats on here!
