Hello everyone,
I've been lurking/reading the forum for a few months, so though it polite that I introduce myself.
My name is Clare. I live in a village called Meppershall in Bedfordshire. Actually, we are moving to the new house in Meppershall in 8 days. So I almost live there. Very exciting really as our new place has a large garden, in which I am sure to find room for a greenhouse! I haven't had the room to indulge in my hobby for a good few years. That's why I am swotting up on everything I'd either forgotten, or never knew in the first place.
My current collection is tiny, only about 20 plants. Mostly Crassula of various varieties. I'm not going to say they are a favorite exactly, I just haven't had the space to expand and therefore I am very green when it comes to many of the plants that some of you collect avidly.
I'm looking forward to learning from you all.
Hello from me :)

Re: Hello from me :)
Good luck with the move, Clare. Are you planning to get a greenhouse?

Thank you for the welcome!
Yes, I do hope to get a greenhouse. I will have to admit that I don't know the first thing about either installing a greenhouse, or running one. I've done some research but nothing serious yet. Is there a section here that I am missing? Something like - greenhouses for novices?
