Welcome to The Garden Helpers Forum!
It's good to know you like gardening and are willing to take it slowly, it's hard sometimes to dive in soooooo much, so fast!!!
And you don't get as much disappointed if your thumbs don't do as well as you imagined...
Take it slow, Love your
plants lot's!
And read up on alot of the old posts we have here.
Get your self some gardening catalog's and read, and read, and read!!! That helps so much..
(If you don't like to read, find some with great pictures and immediate info like on graphs', or something) You can learn alot from reading...
Hands on is good too though!!
Jillie and JC (*aka Hollywood) do alot of container gardening and they live in Calif.
So, it gets pretty hot and they've had wonderful luck!!! They've got a Web~Shot's thing on some of their posts, that show all of their
plants in pots and all of their garden whimsy!! May give you some ideas...
Papito's in Calif too, and he does alot of container gardening too!
And Catlover Karen is into
cactus's so, you've got a crew of people here that can give you a hand!!!
Glad you're here, jump right on it, go to our newer sections with Crafts, Hobbies and Recipes...
add a few of your own interests if you don't see one already posted!!!
