I think the past few years of gardening have made it abundantly clear
that to delve into the "authoritative books" or spout verbatim some
learned tome on horticulture is not always the wisest move.

That's what's so good about gardening, even the beginner, having grown
something, can add to the fund of knowledge with either a success story
or a tale of woe, it doesn't matter, both things benefit the rest of
us.However you need to speak from the heart or from experience , if not
you can sometimes continue a piece of misinformation!

Very much so and what an excellent and thoughtful post. Ray, who has been a
nurseryman for 50 years, always says that not everyone can possibly know
everything!
