Hi, I'm Piskie or Suzie on a Sunday
I garden transiently, in that I move around with the RAF and have to pick up my pots and start all over again again again. I am currently in Henlow, Bedfordshire.
I, too, am a plantaholic - I blame Steve

Hi, i am Tel, I am interested in growing dahlias, for showing. I first started showing in 1993 in a novice class at a small local horticultural show. With help from other experienced dahlia growers i met in those early days, it gave me the confidence and the courage to enter more shows, and i have made some wonderful friends over the years, through my hobby. I joined this forum, to help and encourage, any gardeners, who would like to have a go at exhibiting dahlias, at their local show. |

Hello I am Rosie and for some strange reason Steve made me a moderator  I am starting a new garden of 1/2 an acre and i like to call it a stream at the bottom but in reality it's a land drain for the fields  Alsoit's a blank canvas for me to work with ;D |

My garden is in a field and if I turn my back for long, the field returns.
I try to grow perennials, shrubs and veggies, but not tropical plants. I leave these to Steve and others who can afford to heat their greenhouses.
There are no stones in the deep, dark fen soil and the texture is just perfect. It must be one of the best soils in Britain.

Hallo, I chose my name because I collect hardy geraniums. I have a cottage-style garden of two thirds of an acre which is about a mile from the coast in a rural area of Somerset. We're lucky enough to have a stream running through it. I grow mostly perennials, shrubs and some annuals, and I like to have flowers in bloom all year round. I have greenhouses too - which are usually overflowing! I open the garden for the NGS each year. |

Alsoit's a blank canvas for me to work with ;D
