Whilst I understand that someone may wish to offer advice from their own experience although it is advice contrary to the received wisdom of experts, So who are those experts on rhubarb here exactly? Anne? Fran? Your good self? How can you tell an experts from an amateur? If you look at Mike's posts, he is an amateur but with years of experience. Why then is he being labelled as 'not a gardener'. What makes a gardener but someone who gardens. And enjoy gardening with a passion. I have never understood why someone should be so eager to give a response to just about everything that they rush to Google, phone and email their friends, etc, just to be able to answer practically every query. It seems to imply a pathetic eagerness. I have seen exactly the same pattern on other groups in the past. There's no rush to Google but visibly you know what you are talking about. As for ringing friends and emailing them, I don't even need to do this - they're there, around me at home and at work. And what is it of your business if one does this? Sacha is forever ringing around, emailing, asking her husband .... You are quite bias when it comes to your 'opinions' or perhaps you just don't think. When it's about to identifying a plant, then it is indeed a rush to find out. This is called interest, this is called enjoyment of finding out. It's fascinating. You learn so much as you go along - sometimes you get totally diverted. It's part of the learning process Sally. Perhaps not everybody like you just runs a b&b and enjoy a bit of gardening and leave it at that. Others are eager to know, to share, to read others and if there's something to find out, you bet we're going to find out!! We all have our passion - plants happen to be one of mine. I also love food, but I don't post in the food forum. I love the countryside, but I don't post in a specific forum to this. I just post here and in one other gardening forum (a french one), a literature forum (another french one) and in a forum of a town I used to live in. I lurk in others but don't post. Now if you have something to say to me Sally, just say it and let it then be. I have no agro with you whatesoever. But do stop pocking at me. It's like having a draft at the back of my neck. It's getting very annoying now. Ta. |
