as I'm new to A4A. I knew nothing when I took on a neglected plot about eighteen months ago. I've been on a steep learning curve ever since, and I've found this site really useful. The only thing it doesn't help me with is my aching back - still, no pain no gain they say! ;)
Hi Apple Dumpling,nice to know your on board, there are some good people, and good websites on the site who will give very good advice, just ask and they'll reply, enjoy yourself and as it goes for steep learning curve and a bad back :'(, i know what you mean.
later
windy ;)
Hi Apple Dumpling, I am pretty new to this site also, and have found it to be both helpful and informative, with a few chuckles thrown in as well (The Shed). In my opinion it puts the other Gardening Forums in the shade.
I can recommend a very good embrocation! = Tim
Hi Apple Dumpling, welcome to A4A. :D
Hi Apple Dumpling....................Radox................. and lots of it ;)
Hi Apple Dumpling and WELCOME!
Been through what you're doing....lots of Radox later it was worth it. The wonder of sitting out with friends on the grass, by the border, where it used to be overgrown brambles? You can't beat it!
Hope you enjoy A4A, look forward to hearing how your garden grows,
CLx ;)

Many thanks for all your good wishes. This is a lovely friendly site.
Just had to pop in and say 'hi and welcome' to Apple Dumpling - such a lovely name - it was that what caught my eye ;)......
also hello to NattyEm as well....this is a great group - I don't post very often but try to catch up on all messages when I'm around.
I think we all seem to suffer from bad backs - I've no longer got a bath in my new flat but a smashing shower with a 'massage' setting that's bliss....like being in a jacuzzi.....
;D ;D ;DWelcome Apple Dumpling ;D ;D ;D
