What gives here? I joined this group in the hope of expanding my knowledge
of gardening having taken on a large (about an acre) once grand, now
overgrown town garden.

Whereabouts Mike??

am now wondering whether to stay for fear of attack from some members of
this group. In a few days of membership I have been reading more bitching
and hate on this NG than I can recall ever reading elsewhere.

Is it always like this?

No - it comes and goes. This is a slow time of year in the garden :~)

Is it worth hanging around for the garden talk to start?

Yes

Is there a real gardening NG somewhere?

Let me know if you find somewhere that has no flame wars ;~)

Will I attract the abuse now?

Probably not :~)
