Anyone know what the definition of multisowing is?
No 'Name 4 plants for winter interest', '5 plants for dry shade' or '4 scented winter plants' etc. in fact very little on plants I thought. How'd everyone think they did? |

It has always been you and me in this forum taking it ... but when I mentioned it, I was told I was 'boasting'. You can get away with it, it seems. I was really surprised how easy it all was. Got happier and happier at the second paper -choose the glasshouse (so that I could do a drawing of the photosynthesis and respiration/transpiration ... I love drawing). I choose the containers and the veg crop questions with the multi sowing! I hope you're happy with yourself. I got a bit taken back by pharthenocarpy and pheno/genotype and suddenly it all went back to me. Phew! Good luck with all you wish to do with it. I'm now taking on landscape/garden design so that I can put my environmental art/gardening skills to design. Hoping I'll fit it in during day classes as evening classes really was difficult with the kids missing me etc. and on winter days it was frankly depressing. My tutor hoped I'll do the Advance - but not *that* inclined, really ;o) So it's goodbye to those of you who I have trully enjoyed talking to. Thanks for the advices Nick and Mike. See you around June, Cath, Jenny, in Tayac no doubt. Merci Jaques for the laughs and the seeds (doing well - and the honesty are being dispersed around the neighbourhood). Good luck Mel with that new plot. Apologies all around for the nonsense. But as Mike once said 'elle a du chien' - too right I have. Cheers. So what did you say multisowing was? |

"This is a term that many biogerontologists have used for a very long time, and informally what they mean by it is the progressive loss of physical robustness that happens with time. But because of the linkage between aging and death, they have also been able to give "senescence" a formal, mathematical definition -- the progressive increase in an organism's likelihood to die soon. " I would have said that meant a 'life span' of something such as long lived trees or short lived perennials. No? janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

The spectacle of you telling this group how to behave and play 'nice', when you not only haven't been here for months and have almost nothing to say about gardening, but have been one of those stirring up the trouble in emails is genuinely hilarious. IMO, you've suddenly realised that Puce has pushed you off your self-erected pedestal and have gone into a first class panic. I may say that I didn't take the bet offered me that you were one of those involved as a Puce email crony. I was quite sure of it. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

writes snip diatribe Oh no, and only days since you were assuring the readers that I have the June Hughes Good Egg Certificate of Approval. Now they won't know if they can believe a word you say. I said someone else spoke highly of you, not me. My opinion of you is that you are a nasty, vindictive, frustrated woman who think she is the boss of all and sundry. Is that clear enough for you? How many self-contradictions can you cram into one post, I wonder? Janet You should know. Now why don't you just crawl back under your stone? You and Sacha can both post your ridiculous rubbish as much as you like. You are only making fools of yourselves, not anyone else. You don't own this or any other group, as much as you may think you do, despite your frequent witch-hunts. Most of the old posters have left and I am not surprised with you and your friend around. Between you, you have tried very hard to ruin this group. It looks as though you are succeeding. -- June Hughes |

I know June and I both like her and respect her judgement. O |

Perhaps now that Puce appears to have taken a well-timed bow and departed, we can get over the nastiness she and those who egged her on, contributed to. What about June's post makes you think she is clearly a 'Puce supporter'? All she was doing, IMO, was criticising Rupert for what she clearly regarded as an insensitive and ill timed wisecrack, not defending or supporting la Puce. I'm not getting into an argument over this because I hope it's over. I will merely refer you to Puce's apparently 'departing' post. And I will remind you that in all the abuse hurled at Janet there are some who have said not one word of condemnation to Puce but now, at the final hour, attempt to defend her. I read June's post more as a criticism of its timing and its likelihood of stirring matters up again than a defence of La Puce. If she had said something along the lines that the remark was unfair, inaccurate and an unwarranted slur on her good friend La Puce, that would be 'defence', IMO, but she said nothing of the sort. That's enough for me. My money was never in any danger. Money? |
