Rockeries

welcome to Goy eedee, theres lots of help and advice here-- and lots of friends too -- from many different parts of the world --its amazing.
Sounds to me that growing your own plants from seeds and cuttings would be one way to go, save money and enjoy yourself at the same time, if you go to the section at the bottom of the page and click on R you'll see a list -- click on rockeries and see if anything there helps-- you can do that for lots of things, hope you enjoy Goy :0))

Welcome to GoY. Good luck with your rockery. Let us know how you get on.

Nice to meet you Eedee, look forward to seeing how you get on with your rockeries.

Hi eedee
This is a great site you will really enjoy it.

Hello Eedee, as a relative newcomer to GOY I can tell you it's a very friendly site and nothing is too much trouble for the members. Have fun learning (and making mistakes now and then, that's all part of gardening too). Welcome!

Welcome from me too Eedee, How nice to meet a new friend on my birthday.:o))
Hope you enjoy GOY as much as we all do,and.look forward to reading about your progress..:o)

Hello all who have commented...thank you all so much for your input. It's amazing to find such a great site! I will certainly have fun with my new interest and will post photos from time to time.

Happy birthday Bloomer! Hope you've had a wonderful day! :-)

I certainly have,Eedee.We guarantee you will have a GOY addiction,..no cure I'm glad to say....Lol.

Welcome to GOY Eedee. How far from Howick Falls are you and are the market stalls sitill there?

Welcome Eedee, have fun browsing Goy pages, I `m sure you`ll do fine with your rockery, looking forward to seeing some photo`s as you go along.......

Welcome Eedee some of my favorite plants are from your country..:-)

Hi Eedee - have just been looking at some pictures of Howick - beautiful and seems to be some amazing places to walk there - am fairly new to goY and love it - such diversity!! inspirational as you say - have fun with your rockery - Cate =)

Andrewr... we live about 2 kms from the falls, and yes the stalls are still there everyday. We also have a monthly flea market on the grassed area and it's always well attended. They used to have a caravan park near the falls but unfortunately that's closed down now!
Sandra...yes we do have some stunning plants here. I love some of our proteas and may well put some of them into my garden as I know they encourage the bird life. We have so many birds here in the complex!
Howick is a beautiful part of the country Cate, and I must say the climate here is so much nicer than at the coast where it gets very hot and humid. We have the heat here for sure, but it's seldom as humid (which suits me!!)
Have a lovely day everyone!

Welcome to GOY, Eedee....from so far away too :) You'll have a great time on the site, meeting new gardeners, gleaning ideas and getting help when you need it. It's also encouraging as you blog and post photos...everybody is so friendly and full of encouragement.

I too will look forward to your progress on the rockery. I'm new to gardening and GOY too and am so happy that I found this site. :)

Enjoy your day too, Eedee. We've got damp and rain here but clear weather yesterday permitted some garden jobs :)

i love protea...i have one but think its just tooo cold in the winter here
