Introduction Time - Bob Hobbs

[bobhobbs]

Hello everyone.

My name is Bob, 28 years old, born and bred in North London.

I'm passionate about.. well, pretty much everything, but the important thing is that I recently started blogging about gardening. My mum is an avid gardener, so I grew up among flowers and stories about trees.

My academic background has nothing to do with gardening whatsoever - I hold a Sinology-related Bachelor and a Master's in International Relations (I studied it in China). In PRC, I saw quite a few inspiring gardens - the very culture of these people is intrinsically connected with beauty, symmetry and plants - so my interest in gardening was reignited.

That, combined with me dwelling too deep into the worlds of China and Intl Relations, led me to blogging about plants. It's such a refreshing change.

I got quite a few friends who happen to be seasoned gardeners and they were just going on and on about it all the time - so I decided to start writing some blog articles about gardening.

I was hoping to share some photos from my garden, but didn't find the time to go there this weekend.

For that reason, I'd post some photos of the plants growing at my home. Hope you guys enjoy it .

To get in touch with me, add me in Google+ or Facebook (search for Bob Hobbs . Would love to make friends with you

P.S. For some reason, my photos can't be uploaded ;[.

Hi Bob, There wasn't much space for uploading pics on this forum and what there was was exceeded eons ago, so we get around that by using a remote host like Tinypic, Photobucket etc and just posting the link, you'll see an icon (insert image icon) among the icons above the box you type in when posting, you put the link to the pic in there and it appears in your post
