Possibly the prickly one (who we've both killfiled). But that poster is
American - ISTR someone saying that (pronoun) was from Maryland. There's
another poster (also killfiled) who might qualify, but Mr. Walker seems
to admire him.

Do I get the inference that I indeed was wrong?

In my experience most newsgroups have people who like to post that sort of
stuff from time to time, to see what effect it has.

Best thing is to just ignore them.

If you saw David's garden, as we have been privileged to do, you would know
that not only is it a miracle of small plot management, it is an exemplar of
tropical planting in a British climate. Cabbage and kale, no, oranges off
the tree outside the back door at Christmas, yes.

It's a wonderful achievement, but it would be misleading to consider his
particular 'British climate' to be typical of Britain as a whole. It
would be very misleading to suggest that what David has achieved on the
south coast of Devon could be replicated by an equally talented and
knowledgeable gardener in Aberdeen, Yorkshire, or even Kent, except
under glass.

Not at all...merely attempting to see what someone means by a 'prickly

I don't know - I don't read every thread.

Point well made Kay, but I sincerely hope you are not inferring that I
would make such ridiculous claims.

No of course not, and you make it very clear in your sig your particular
climatic conditions. I was answering the comment by another poster "it
is an exemplar of tropical planting in a British climate" followed by
the comment about oranges at Christmas - knowing urg has both posters
from outside the UK and posters who are just beginning their gardening
careers, I didn't want anyone to be misled into thinking it was
achievable all over the UK.

Nothing is typical of Britain as a whole, IMO. That's one of the reasons
why gardening in Britain is so interesting.
I don't think I did suggest David's type of garden could be replicated in
other areas or at least, I hope I didn't! I had hoped to make it clear that
his sigfile about his garden's growing seasons was accurate.
Of course, if a visitor to Britain went to the Isles of Scilly or the
Channel Islands, they might think themselves in the Mediterranean with
regard to ornamental plants, without relying on cabbage or kale!
