I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm slowly finding my way around this site, there is a lot to learn. I garden in the north-eastern tropical region of Australia, my climate being equivalent to USDA zone 11a.

I formerly used the Folia garden tracking website, but with its impending closure I'm trying to find a new home that will provide at least some of the features that were previously available to me. A member here, who formerly used Folia, introduced me to this site. So I'm trying it out. I've only listed 3 plants so far, more than 200 to go, and I've just tried the journalling function (called a blog here). I've been keeping a garden journal on Folia for over 10 years, carefully documenting observations, as well as successes and failures of my garden, so I will probably continue that function here as I have not really found anywhere else that suits my needs.

I'm pleased to be here and hope to get to know some of my fellow gardeners.
