Hi everyone, this is my first post here. So I'm sorry if my questions
have been answered a million times before.
At the end of this month I'll be moving to Port Mulgrave. It's a tiny
little place between Staiths and Runswick Bay. My new home is
situated
quite close to the edge of the cliffs with no wind break, what so
ever.--
snipped for brevity-
A couple of things........Port Mulgrave could be on the moon for all I
know, so something a bit more specific as to location would be
helpful. Since I looked it up, I found it's on the coast of Yorkshire
and photos of the area show a very open, somewhat rocky and windswept
promintory. -

If you noticed his @ you would have seen it's one of those online
forums that borrow usenet content to look like they are busy. *He had
no idea he was asking the world. *He thought he was speaking to fellow
Brits or at least people who had more of a clue than you or I did.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Right, thanks for the replies...
I did add very local areas that are well known in the UK. And the web
site I submit my question to has a dot co dot uk in the address. Which,
in my experience gives the impression that I would be conversing with
fellow Brits.
Top and bottom line... Am I going to face snotty attitude in here or am
I better off in another forum? 'Cause I can do snotty, too. But I
prefare nice chearful people.
But hey, if an unfriendly manner is your way?

Sorry...the response was not intended to be snotty. Although I used to
participate on this newsgroup extensively, I've been away for a few
years and things have changed. There used to be an associated group
that focused on gardening in the UK but apparently that has been
incorporated into gardenbanter and any posts are now distributed to a
worldwide audience. Where you are located specifically is paramount
for any helpful advice.
I still believe you will get much more meaningful suggestions from
those who garden in a similar location and under smiliar conditions.
I'd try he

And do take all responses with a grain of salt :-) The Internet is a
valuable resource but newsgroups and forums lack the type of personal
interaction that allows one to accurately assess and interpret written
intent and meaning - one misses facial expressions and body language
that indicate emotion. They're hard to replicate with computer icons
and punctuation smiley faces. So what you may consider 'snotty' is
more often than not just a brief /blunt presentation of facts or
opinion.
