Again? Have you been naïve here before? ;-)

I'm always naive, its the only way to learn


Ah, there's a lot to learn here - in more ways than one. Where do you
garden Elt? I don't think we've seen you here before? There's a load of
good information available from many keen gardeners at all levels.


Hi again,

I've been lurking for a while now, especially as my first post got a
barrage of abuse (I learnt about trolls from that!) for being too long.
Reading some of the board is quite amusing, although I do think that
some of the posters are really the same person.... especially some of
the more esoteric ones... (they're on my ignore rule now, thankfully)
As for where I garden, well I dont really garden, I just popped in to
seek a bit of advice etc, and got stuck here. I'm in the RAF, and as
such inherit a "new" garden everytime we move - just trying to keep it
tidy and enjoy the bits we get. I tried to start growing some of my own
veg this year but various beasties and the weather seemed to do me no
favours. I think i'll wait until we get our own place sorted before
having another go.

The garlic's doing well though!

I've been lurking this group for several years now, with
the occasional post. It is great for garden related
questions and advice. After a while you learn who gets on
with who and who doesn't. It's a bit like a soap opera on
here some times and quite amusing to spectators. Personally
I avoid being drawn into the dialogue with the fighting
factions or when the squabbles or taunting begins.
