A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members Hey all, from a newbie gardener

Hi there,

Just wanted to stop in and say a quick hello. I'm excited I found this forum and hope it helps as we get into the warm weather here in NJ.

I'm totally new to gardening, having always succumbed to the ready made planters that someone else did all the hard work on. But this year I am determined to do it myself!

I've started a small herb planter (yes, it did start out as a kit, I admit it!) and that seems to be thriving. And I've planted a few flowers outside, but I really want to get into the heart of this stuff! So I look forward to seeing what kind of tips I can pick up here. Thanks!

Hi Nancy - welcome to the forums!
You will get great information on all kinds of plants and gardening here, plus make many new friends.

I live in Rockland County, NY on the border of Mahwah, NJ - are you anywhere near there? I do a lot of garden shopping in NJ too.

Hi there,

Funny, I was just working in that area yesterday! I'm not terribly far from there, but in the more northwestern area of NJ, closer to the PA border. I'm in Morris County, NJ. Lots of great planting space, if I take the time to do it. But since I'm new, I'm starting small in pots and such. :)
