I would like to extend George's welcome to you Maggie.

You will indeed have a great time here.  We have a wealth of experienced and knowledgeable people, covering all aspects of gardening and on a variety of other subjects that go hand-in-hand with our gardening; e.g. photography and computers.

Please don't be afraid to ask any questions, no matter how simple or silly you think they may be.  You won't be criticised or made to feel bad as we're all in this for the same reasons - fun, enjoyment and furthering our gardening experiences.

Have a great time.

Kathy & Laurie.

Well done Maggie, your posting has come through no problem. 

There's really no need to feel shy on here.  You won't be criticised for any mistakes, and we'll help you out if you do get stuck with anything.  Chip in any time you feel like it, whether it's to ask a question or reply to someone else's posting.  The more you post the quicker you'll get to know people and make new friends.

I'm glad to hear you're having great success with your digital camera.  Once you get more confident on the Forum it would be great to see some photos of your garden/s.  We'll tell you how to do that when the time comes.

In the meantime, it would be great to hear about your gardens.  What plants you've got, your favourites and your failures, any special plans to alter it in any way - stuff like that.

We look forward to hearing more from you.

Laurie.
