Title: Not so new newbie,Jeannine's John!!!!!
Post by: Rupert Bear on June 04, 2007, 17:35:20
Hi everyone,
                    I have been talked into joining your group by Jeannine who says I need more interfacing with the real world.
Please let me explain, I'm not really a gardener more a builder. My knowledge of plants and such is low but I can build sheds, raised beds, fences and greenhouses. Laying paving stones, rototill, watering is also in my portfolio. Sadly weeding, planting and other such tasks are only fair to poor.
Rupert Bear. (aka John)

Welcome from me John and good to meet you on Saturday.  Sounds a bit like me & Peter - he does all the heavy digging & making raised beds & of course his pride & joy, the pond, & then calls me to ask if a plant is a weed or a flower.  Team work that's what it's all about.  :)

TO All the members of the GROUP!
Please excuse my slowness in answering but I always have been one to put off tasks if possible, ( although the gaffer cracks the whip ) but eventually I do respond. So please BEAR with me and I shall to be more responsive. So to all my new friends I will make an effort to be a bit more forthcoming with my replies. By the way Jeannine is not a hard task master, I do tend to day dream and my memory is not to hot. To all of you who sent me a message I thank you and hope we will be able to share more happy chats.
Best wishes to all of you, Rupert Bear (Jeannine's John!!!!!)
