Now read it again. Are YOU and your fellow gardeners amongst the first
people in the preface?

NO, you are putting yourself amongst the second and polishing your halos.

From the preface to Strawberry Growing Complete by Edward Hyams.

You really are losing the plot Mike. I didn't write that preface,
this quote has nothing to do with us, other than that Hyams and his
first wife once owned this house and I mentioned neither of those facts
in my original post. You're the one who has alerted others to that! I
merely quoted something from an 'old time' plantsman and gardener which
is relevant to all gardeners.

I suspect that you are dysfunctional in terms of your capacity to deal
with real life. No 'normal' person would read that piece and see it as
an individual introducing a hagiography for members of urg! I do
assure you that when Hyams wrote that, he did not have members of a
newsgroup in mind.
