Where do I start

Welcome to GOY Shiloh - and your pal

Welcome to Goy Shilohspal, at least you have made a start and that handsome dog and the yearning look in his eyes says it all, playtime near the top of the list is a good idea, he might even help with the garden if you let him, my boys have perfected the art of a bit of pruning over the years, not always the right shrubs and trees at first but pleased to say we now have it down to only in the dogrun. lol....The trick is to enjoy what you are doing, then its not a chore.....

Thank you for your welcome folks.. I am looking forward to reading and learning about other peoples gardens. Yes Shiloh is very keen on a pruning. When he was a pup he loved to eat everything in the garden, although I am glad to say he has grown out of that now.

Welcome to our forum GOY its friendly and we have so many helpful and knowledgeable members .

Gardening is so therapeutic - even half an hour pulling a few weeds and straightening things up is good for the soul and makes you feel loads better - it is a lovely time of year now - time to plan what seeds you will set and where they will go - I buy Gardening News that is a good mag for keeping you on the straight and narrow - Jane

Welcome!!

Welcome to GoY. I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends here. We are all novices but learn from each other.

Welcome !
I hope you enjoy it on here ...
Shiloh is very handsome :)

Welcome from me too.
Shiloh is gorgeous :-)

Many thanks for the welcome and encouraging words - This is a great place to be. Shiloh passes on his thanks for all his compliments too!

Welcome to GOY, you have a beautiful dog!

Welcome from me too. Shiloh is an interesting name - is it the film, the game or the Israeli town?

Welcome to GoY. I am not far away from you in sunny Glasgow. Let's hope the weather dries up a bit and we can catch up with our southern friends. You will notice a time difference in flowering for us, but it just means the pleasure is yet to come. :0)

Thanks folks - Steragram, Shiloh's name comes from the town in Israel. No real connection we just liked it.

Thank you Louisa

Yes Linda, its been a lovely spell hasn't it? Such a change from the wet and windy weather we've become accustomed to. Although sunny and warm in the sun, the frost doesn't really go from the shadier spots. My grandfather always used to say the growing season was delayed by a week every 100 miles north you travelled.

Welcome from me and Jamie Springer

Shilospal - yes it is a nice name - forgive my curiosity!

Thanks Bjs. Shiloh says hello too!

Steragram, thanks when we were getting him as a pup we had no idea what to call him. I think we heard it on a TV programme and thought it would suit him.

Its mentioned a lot in the Old Testament so he has a lot to live up to! It means Place of Peace and was the religious centre of Israel where the Ark Of the Covenant was kept before Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem. So tell him he has to behave himself!

Ah, good information. As for behaving himself - he is a bit of a rascal but on the whole a good boy. I shall pass on your comments to him and remind him of the importance of his name. :-)

Shiloh is beautiful! He would make a great pal for my Willow!

Thank you - Shiloh is always looking for new pals!

Lol...I know exactly what you mean! :) Labradors eh?!
