Introducing myself..
Hi..
Well I'm Marco from Germany who loves to lurk here.. Have posted three times now without any reply.. Then I wondered why - and finally identified three main categories of possible reasons..: 1: I didn't introduce myself - a shame I know but quasi nonreversible.. 2: This is a UKLG group, a refuge where UK_Located_Gardeners are exclusively talking to other UK_Located_Gardeners.. 3: I made a mistake outing myself to be a Marco.. A few decades ago my grandmother - she was an earthbound country girl - taught me how to manage a fruit and vegetable garden and how to keep and multiply companion animals like ducks, geese, goats, hens.. Well today I'm exactly a 40+ years old man..! Some years ago we moved to a house with 2 main conservatories. The house is close to a(n) former/ancient wineyard, at the sunny hills and I love the view over the dell.. Here's a heavy clay soil and here I dicovered the flowers (roses, geraniums, busy lizzie, lilies, others).. BTW: For 41 1/2 years now I'm a fish and invertebrates crazy aquarium fan and summer ponder.. That's quasi all about me..! HTH.. -- cu Marco |

"Marco Schwarz" wrote in message ... Hi.. Well I'm Marco from Germany who loves to lurk here.. Have posted three times now without any reply.. Hi Marco - welcome to URG. What on earth did you ask about that got no response ! Then I wondered why - and finally identified three main categories of possible reasons..: 1: I didn't introduce myself - a shame I know but quasi nonreversible.. Lots of people don't ... 2: This is a UKLG group, a refuge where UK_Located_Gardeners are exclusively talking to other UK_Located_Gardeners.. Germany and a lot of Europe has a similar climate to th UK. Some people do have a problem with autralia or the US :~) Whereabouts are you situated? 3: I made a mistake outing myself to be a Marco.. A few decades ago my grandmother - she was an earthbound country girl - taught me how to manage a fruit and vegetable garden and how to keep and multiply companion animals like ducks, geese, goats, hens.. Well today I'm exactly a 40+ years old man..! Some years ago we moved to a house with 2 main conservatories.

We're all too busy in our gardens :-) Hi there Marco, welcome. I lived in Belgium for 7 years. The Belgians come to England to look at the gardens but I think theirs are better. Colin |

Hi.. Well I'm Marco from Germany who loves to lurk here.. Have posted three times now without any reply.. But the three you posted did need a reply...! ;-) (they were all replies to someone else) Then I wondered why - and finally identified three main categories of possible reasons..: 1: I didn't introduce myself - a shame I know but quasi nonreversible.. Doesn't matter in the slightest. I've never introduced myself ;-) 2: This is a UKLG group, a refuge where UK_Located_Gardeners are exclusively talking to other UK_Located_Gardeners.. Not at all. We have quite a few based in France, one in Netherlands, a couple the other side of the pond, one in Oz, used to have some Scandinavians. 3: I made a mistake outing myself to be a Marco.. ;-) Even if you ask a direct question, you won't necessarily get an answer. You'll only get an answer if a) someone knows the answer b) that someone happens to be reading urg c) that someone is in a good mood and feels like answering ;-) It's just the luck of the draw, it's nothing personal. -- Kay |

I've been to http://www.jardins.dannevoie.be/ and the Chateau d'Enghien. Both worth visiting. I was thinking of personal gardens. There were several houses in our road that had very ornate box hedging in the front garden - all immaculately manicured. Slightly OT but... Where we lived you didn't need to make an appointment to see a doctor - you just turned up and waited. On one occasion there was nobody in the waiting room when arrived but I still had to wait - just while the doctor washed her hands and put her white coat on. Her surgery was a room on the side of her house and she'd been outside gardening. Somehow I can't see that happening in the UK. |

Introducing myself..
I wonder what /your/ point is, I checked all the posts in this newsgroup and I found none from the OP! it was easy enough lets not turn a drama into a crisis ! There may have been a lot going on Marco, I didnt see you either ! but I didnt feel energised to see if they had appeared but had escaped my attention ! Paranoia rules KO ! if at first you dont succeed, try try again, we are not omnipotent, norb omnicient, we do have other lives, dont feel bad about it,, this is usenet after all ! King Robert the Bruce I was born at Lochmaben Castle in 1274. He was Knight and Overlord of Annandale. In 1306 he was crowned King of Scotland and henceforth tried to free Scotland from the English enemy. After being defeated at a battle, Bruce escaped and found a hideout in a cave. Hiding in a cave for three months, Bruce was at the lowest point of his life. He thought about leaving the country and never coming back. While waiting, he watched a spider building a web in the cave's entrance. The spider fell down time after time, but finally he succeeded with his web. So Bruce decided also to retry his fight and told his men: "If at first you don't succeed, try try and try again". now what shall we talk about ? |
