Stay cool, Jenny! Better than the urg troll-fol-de-rols by a mile!

Parkland, if I understand, you're asking two questions. 1, what are
the green curly things called? Answer, usually "tendrils". 2, where
can I get some Passion flower seeds? Answer, try the garden centre,
or one of the seed companies which have on-line catalogues (Suttons
Seeds, Thompson & Morgan, Chiltern Seeds, etc, if you're in the
British Isles).

How much worse can they get?

Oh, quite a lot worse - they could turn into the sort of people who,
rather than answer a question with grace and civility, choose to take
the ****...

I rather think I might stop browsing this newsgroup...it's getting to
the stage where it's putting me off gardening.

Nah, he wants a package of the curly long gree things that grabs to
other things. They're useful for keeping stockings up, and fixing
shelves to the wall, and tying up children who don't know what to do
with themselves in the summer holidays.

Janet.

Are these the same long dangly bits that hang down from drainpipes in winter?

To be fair, this group has undergone an awful lot of pushing around and
Garden Banter is a pain, to boot. And the original post came from Texas -
I can't help feeling that people in Texas could just possibly answer that
question, you know. On top of that, do you *really* think anyone is so
stupid as to think you can buy plant material in a package and have it
continue to 'grab other things'?

No, it's very hard to imagine that. Which is why I chose to try and
work out what the OP might have meant: some people do find written
language a challenge -- you see quite a lot of it in other
newsgroups. It somehow didn't feel like a troll to me, though it may
well have been one.

That's perfectly possible. I've sometimes chastised more impatient people
on this group if I think they have been unkind to someone who has trouble
with written English. But I really do feel it extremely unlikely that
anyone, whatever their native language or their abilities to write, would
think live plant material can be packaged for sale, so as to do its original
job of assisting a plant to grow upwards on a trellis or on other plants.

Well, we haven't heard back, so who knows? My reply was based on
guessing that he or she was asking a) what to call tendrils, and b)
where to get passiflora seed.

With hindsight I think the OP meant those green wire or plastic thingamabobs
that hold climbers to their supports.

Possibly not - they've repeated the question but with cucumbers.

Really? My guess is that it's some erstwhile trolling prat from this group
doing it again.

Of course they have. Everyone knows that cucumbers have wire or plastic
thingamabobs. Interesting use of the very English word 'thingamabob' by a
supposedly non-English speaker/writer, don't you think? Amazing what
assumed illiteracy can do for the determined troll.
