NOVICE COMPUTER USER!!!

27 comments


I,m VERY new to this computer lark still finding my way around it all,having recently retired and with more spare time. A friend (SHARNFORD) recomended this site as i have an interest in gardening.My garden is very tiny,but realy enough for me as i live on my own.I never realy thought of myself as a “gardener” far too impatient, I used to realy love mouching around nurseries and buying plants,but now pension doesnt allow quite so much of that. I lost a lovely old torbay palm in the 2009/2010 freeze,about 12ft high, would cost a small fortune to replace,it has started to sprout again but will take about 20years to get like it was. So i will be looking for tips on propergating, dividing,and the like,and getting to know you all.

There are lots of very helpful people on GoY.
Most of us lost some plants during the recent freezing winters... glad your palm is showing signs of new life. :o)

It's called GoY addiction, Poppylinda - it gets easier as timer goes by, but I wouldn't worry about the housework - it's not going anywhere, it'll still be there when you've finished online, lol!
