I've lurked for ages, just posting occasionally. I do hope my pond
orientated posts don't annoy. My garden is about 20ft square, nearly half is
pond now. Most people here seem to be 'real' gardeners, something I'd love
to be if I had the room! I dream of retiring to a large old house with half
an acre..........yeah.....dream on. In the past, I've grown carrots, Swede,
peas, runner beans, lettuce etc, but until recently, especially sweet
corn......great picked and straight on the BBQ Now, I only have pots
Something which bugs me, is the use of the Latin names for plants. I
realise that if you are really into gardening, these things are important,
but to the likes of me........an interested wannabe, they are meaningless.
It would be nice if folk could call plants by their 'common' name perhaps
with the Latin in brackets? What do you think? Thanks for a great friendly
group.

Nobody will be annoyed at you for your question, I too am a total
amateur, I don't know one latin name from another. This is not an
expert gardener group, but there are lots of experts here who remain
solely for people like you and I to advise and help along, they will
never ridicule you and I am sure now that you have asked this
question, that they will also post the common names.

I'm glad you find the group friendly, on the whole, we really are,
there are just a couple of flies in the ointment which hopefully will
buzz off soon.

Kind regards
