I simply don't understand this response. I'm suggesting that urglers might
like to read some gardening blogs, by professionals and/or amateurs. I am
not suggesting they take to Twitter and Facebook which seem to have got
dragged into this discussion by means of endless repetition of how awful
they are, sometimes by people who have never looked at them. Once more and
with feeling: I am suggesting reading gardening blogs. Or follow the blog
of just one person. I am NOT suggesting reading Twitter or Facebook as a
substitute.

Yes true, you did, but your comments were the final straw that got me
interested in what Twitter was all about and I thank you for that. Something
I had been meaning to look at for a long time but after my experience with
Facebook was reticent to do. I have looked at many Blogs and rarely find
them interesting, too many seem written for the writer not for the reader. A
bit like some general gardening books I've passed on to the charity shop.

My problem is I'm a hands on gardener, I learnt my gardening with muck on my
hands and an old gardener standing over me, so I usually find writings about
gardens trite and uninformative. It's why I tend to buy (semi-scientific)
books on specific species written by experts.
