I wouldn't worry too much Sally, we still have many experts here, Kay,

I didn't mean to imply that the others weren't expertsg. As a bumbling
amateur myself, their advice is very much appreciated.

They don't come any more amateur than me and that's why I have posted
to urg for so many years to learn and give just a little back of what
I have been taught. Urg will get back to what it was and then many
who have left will return. Can you remember how we used to joke and
the only comments posted would be kindly ones joining in the joke?

I certainly can remember. It was one of the things I thought was so nice
when I first found this NG about 6 years ago. Another NG I had been a part
of (non gardening) was very hard on beginners, especially those who hadn't
done some prior research! I thought urg had a wonderful relaxed atmosphere,
very happy to share advice - much like gardeners in real life really.

So, pull up a broken deckchair or sit on that box over there and I'll put the
kettle on g. It has been tipping down all day here. I got drenched just
nipping over the road to feed a neighbour's cat. Our land is bad enough at
the best of times (we call it a challenge on a good day) and it is absolutely
waterlogged and impossible to walk on at the moment. Anyone have any Spring
sunshine? Please send it over here. If Wordsworth had been around here
today I think he would have written about A Host of Soggy Daffodils - not
quite the same ring, is it.
