how are you all?

you do realise you are actually posting to uk.rec.gardening, do you? And
that gardenbanter only provides a mechanism for posting to
uk.rec.gardening?

Most of us read and post to uk.rec.gardening direct and do not go
anywhere near gardenbanter.

uk.rec.gardening is a newsgroup for the purpose of discussing gardening
in the uk, rather than a general chat group. You are very welcome to
join us to discuss gardening - if you look out for the 'abc' post for
newcomers which is posted every weekend, you will find out more about
the newsgroup and its purposes.
