Although it seems to be slowing down a bit.

That's because the mindless chatterati departed to facebook/twitter and
now the only people left posting here are the urg gardeners.


Often the case but neither Facebook nor especially Twitter need to be
like that, it all depends who you are friends with on Facebook and who
you follow on Twitter.
My wife is on Facebook and she is friends with some relatives and a few
real friends some of whom we had lost touch with a bit over the
decades. Couple of the relative keep reposting (sharing) others posts
which can be annoying but otherwise it's fine. It's a bit more
difficult personally to un-friend someone on Facebook.
With Twitter it's very easy to un-follow someone who is getting on your
nerves as some have with me because they post too many times each day
or post pointless chatter. I follow various nurseries, the RHS, RBG
Kew, Latour-Marliac and some similar organisations and get some
interesting info and links from them.
You just have to be circumspect in who you befriend/follow.

Waving happily, Bob! ;-)
