Welcome to GoY, Jill. Yes, it's a great site - wish I had discovered it years ago to help me avoid lots of mistakes and make the best of what there is.
Look forward to seeing your garden grow. Enjoy!

Thankyou. x

Hi Jill.
Good luck with your project. A nice blank canvas in front of the pretty hut and shed. :o)

I hope the seedlings continue to progress well.

Thanks Terratoonie but when oh when will it look like yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Goy Jill, I hope you enjoy the site, looking forward to seeing you progress with all your plans in your garden, you will probably become even more obsessed as you'll get more ideas as you see what others have done in their gardens....

Thanks Lincslass... I think you are right!!! x

Welcome and it's looking a good start! Looking forward to seeing it change.

Thankyou.... your spring border is really inspiring and well jel of the veggie patch!!!! Good luck with yours too. x

Lots of scope there - good luck with the seedlings and the planning!

wow isn't it great when you are so excited about something and what lovlier things to get excited about than flowers. Your garden looks a brilliant area for all your great ideas. Just make sure you take time out to enjoy what you achieve. no divorce needed lol. what seedlings have you sown already? I was given some great advice that if when planting it is always a good idea to plant more than one of the same plants in groups of odd numbers ie 3,5,7or 9's. I use mainly 3 and 5's due to limited space. good luck and look forward to seeing more :)

It's always fun seeing someone starting out, and feeling their energy and enthusiasm - you'll get all the help you need here, except, perhaps with the digging! Good Luck, Jill, this blog will be great to follow.

hello Jill and welcome to this great site..your garden looks fab and the challenge your are undertaking will be great to watch progress on, i for one am looking forward to see the results of your changes and efforts and love to see people put their ideas in to practice. I never feel experienced enough to offer gardening advice because Im only a novice myself, but if i was to offer up one single bit of wisdom it would be never loose site of the garden is to be sat in, played in, relaxed in, used and enjoyed..

good luck with the project..and today at wembley!!

Hi Jill and welcome, your garden looks great. I will look forward to following your progress. I find that a garden evolves over time as ideas come as we live in it and the results seem so much better than those designed and done in a couple of weeks. Gardens are about individuals who want to make the best of their environment so enjoy your journey and please share it with us.

ahhh thanks everyone for the encouragement! at the moment I have poppy's, pansy's, sweet peas, morning glory, godetia, phlox, sunflowers, forget-me-nots, corriander and rocket growing... oh and a random packet of seeds entitled 'wild flower mix' all germinating in the back bedroom! I've also ordered a MILLION plug plants and bare roots from Thompson and Morgan!! Here's to Everton winning today! My garden theme is BLUE have you noted?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Jill, I think we've all noticed!.......:o))))))

Good luck with your garden this year. It will be nice to see it develop :o)

I'm so sorry about Everton.....

Welcome to GoY jill. I know nothing about football and little about gardening but I know this is a wonderful place to learn about the latter and meets lots of really nice new friends! Great to have you on board! :)

Thanks for the sorrow Gattina... it was painful... Hi Shenuk and Hywel and thanks for the welcome. Woke up to germinating goditia and morning glory today (eased the fa cup woe!) I keep looking every few hours!!!! I'm sure they are a bit bigger now than they were at 4pm!!!!!!!

A real garden full of promise - lovely seating area which will overlook your work - !! Blue is a great colour - can see you favour it a lot :)))))))))))))!!!

Jill, you're as bad as I am! I check on my seedlings every few hours, too. Nothing grows while you're watching it, though!

hahhahahahahahaha. gattina..... they have grown again i swear! thanks paul. x

Oh, right. If yours have grown, I'd better dash up the garden in my dressing gown and check on mine then.......

Hahahahahahahaha.... mine are triffid's now... can't get in the door!

Mine shiver, poor little things. If I'd known it was going to turn this cold I'd have put off sowing most of them. Not impressed with Thompson and Morgan's germination rate, I must say.

Hi Jill sorry for the delay with getting around to visiting you, Welcvome to Goy a great site with lots of very friendly and helpful people! How exciting for you just starting off on your garden projects good luck and happy Gardening, going to have a look at your other blogs now and photos;0)
