Bob, I'm sorry to intervene here but I would caution you about taking gardening advice from this man. He is one of urg's long-time trolls with no gardening knowledge, though he claims his wife (who does not post here) has some. You're being caught up in his current campaign to get attention at any price. Lily of the Valley does NOT grow anywhere by any means. Quite the contrary - some people find it very hard to get established. Having planted over 2 dozen plants here over the last couple of years, we had one solitary flower this year. If ease of growth were the case my husband, a nurseryman of 60 years standing, Bob Hobden, a highly experienced gardener and allotment holder and I, with some years of gardening under my belt, would not be saying how difficult it is for us to grow it in our gardens. You will become accustomed to the people who post here and soon be able to judge the value of their advice for yourself but the above is really, seriously wrong and possibly discouraging to others. Sadly for urg, it's also par for the course from this particular nuisance. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |

You don't know our garden and sorry, but Lily of the Valley is growing almost as a weed and spreading into the gravel path. Should you to wish your representative to come and witness it, please tell them to email me a suitable date. Anyone else wishing to see Lilly of the Valley growing, almost as a weed, are also invited to come and discuss the matter with my wife, an experienced gardener. Also, anyone else wishing to question anything I report from our garden, is also invited to visit us. We put the kettle on and my wife talks ..... gardens and plants and has over 50 years of gardening experience. A small garden but a wealth of plants and knowledge. Kindest regards to all Mike |

Is there any newsgroup that doesn't have at least one troll? I'll take your advice and deny him the oxygen of my attention... |

I know from so many other ngs how corrosive trollism can be. If everyone's peed off with you, it has to be down to you to accommodate the flow, surely? Anyway, I'll sign off on this for now... |
