    Welcome to our forums from across the water in Scotland. It sounds as though you lead a busy life with your pets, garden and water sports. I look forward to getting to know you.

    Hi Philip, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. Glad you joined us and looking forward to seeing photos of your garden. Sometimes I wish I had a garden as large as yours,especially in spring when the seed and plant catalogs arrive :rolleyes:

    Thank you all for the welcome!,..some of you in Canada,USA,Pakistan,and of course just across the water in Scotland,..not forgetting fellow Irishman Frank in Sweden.

    At present i am finding my way around the forum,..the more i delve the more i discover,..i will eventually find a niche for all my interests giving time.

    Our weather here is cool to say the least,..3 to 7 degrees,..and that's cold for us.

    Philip, welcome to GardenStew! You'll fine it a very friendly, helpful spot. We are in Central Texas, on a small farm with an indoor cat, a small flock of chickens and bee hives. We also have vegetable and herb gardens, and flower beds. I envy you your "fine, soft days" with all that moisture. I'll send you heat if you'll send us some gentle rain!

    Oh those "fine soft days",..come very often,..i really shouldn't complain when i compare it to other members weather,..winter in particular!,..but yes please send some warm sunny weather,..in return you may have some of our rain.

    I used to have 24 Chickens and 24 Aylesbury Duck,..alas when moving house 5 years ago we had to part our ways,..though 2 dogs and six cats,..make up for some of the bedlam.

    That would be a dream come true for me. I can trace my roots back to the 1500's. I am scared to death to fly. When I was 10 years old I watched a plane Crash and Burn with all passengers aboard at the SLC airport. Left me with a complex for getting on a plane. I live in the central part of the state it is way more beautiful than SLC, UT.
