Hi all,
My name is Paul and I'm an, oh wait, wrong place. :-) I am completely new to gardening, and am also completely new to being retired (at 60) so I figured why not learn 2 new things at the same time (actually 3 since I'm also learning how to play guitar). My wife is a Master Gardner, however, she exclusively does flowers and is leaving the vegetable gardening up to me. Silly woman.
I have 2 8' x 4' x 30" raised bed gardens on order from Raised Bed Gardens Canada and am in the process of learning everything I can about SFG before they arrive.
I am looking forward to participating here, and soaking up all of the knowledge I can.

Thanks for having me!

Paul.

Great! Have you discovered the pop-up window of recommended essential reading on the left side of the home page? If not, move your cursor off the page to the left to see the pop-up appear. Some good suggestions hidden there. Very Happy

Welcome to the forum, PK! You will love this hobby—it is a little addictive…but hey, there are MUCH worse things to be addicted to, just ask anyone!

You have a nice resource at your fingertips. A lot of your initial learning curve can come from the SEARCH bar in the upper left hand corner. Every year is different; I suggest keeping notes too. I do learn from what works/what doesn’t.

$glad you\'re here$
