Hello .
Newbee here.
Retired Nursery Man with a near new Garden 60 x 60 mtrs will be looking for some tips as the spring progresses .
So far I have erected a 40 x 20 poly tunnel , dug a great big hole which I hope to transform in to a pond, built a raised bed with a stone wall, planted a load of fruit bushes and that's about it .
(note Nursery Man not Gardener)
Mick

Welcome on board. Surely a nursery man and a gardener go hand in hand. How did you advise people over the years for what suited their gardens best???

Welcome Mick. Don't know how I've missed this, but it's great to see a new face on here.
That's some hole! I'm sure the pond will be very good. Size-wise it will put my effort to shame.

Should have said Veg Gardener , I know nothing of veggies and I have set aside a space for a small plot - so will need help there.
Herbaceous are my thing and I will be doing a lot of divisions over the next few weeks , I will try and get a few pix .
