Daylight. Nice and sunny. OK?

One would expect that the 'gardeners' of the site would be gardening, but
no, they are on uk.rec.gardening. Tons and tons of traffic and 'personal'
emails going backwards and forwards. ..... OK?

Rain. High Wind. Dark. Not suitable to get in the garden OK?

One would expect the 'gardeners' of the site to be busy with
questions/moans/prospects/plans/'personal emails' etc, but no. Hardly any
traffic at all.

QUESTION. How many of you are REAL gardeners?

I weeded a whole 3x1m patch of the allotment today, if that helps.
It was exceptionally good digging, shame I went a bit late so only
did an hour. :-/

Still got deadly nightshade appearing all over the plot, which is
a bit worrying considering my 3 year old likes to Eat Stuff.

Hi Tina - 'Mike' is a 2nd rate (sorry, 3rd rate) troll who is well known
here (and in other newsgroups).

Best just ignore him

Kindest possible regards, obviously ;-)

Please, if you have to indulge in arguments, could you snip more

No chance to get on our soil now, it's too wet and trying to work it will
compact it so it would take a couple of years to get back to friable. Need a
few weeks of sun and wind to dry it out first.
Not being a gardener yourself you probably don't understand that you have to
know your soil and work it accordingly. It's why some questions here get
differing answers from different areas of the country.

Too busy with stuff we should have done in the summer but were gardening
instead. :-)

Real Gardeners? What does that mean? Some might say you have to be
professional to be a real gardener but then I've met some professionals that
know diddly squat about anything but their narrow area of expertise.

Bob this was a general observation over quite some time, not a recent
observation for which I must apologise as I didn't make that clear.

It 'appears' that even when the soil is suitable to be worked on, ie 'Her
outdoors 'IS' outdoors', there is plenty of chit chat going on here, whereas
with gales and floods sweeping the country over the last few days or so,
uk.rec.gardening has been very VERY quiet. Not even the 'public' emails and
chit chat chin wagging on non gardening subjects as some seem to love to do.

Hope that explains

Best not to confuse the non-gardener with too much reality. He
appears to believe that sunshine on the Isle of Wight is generated from
part of his anatomy
onto the entire UK.

Janet, you are just too kind with your words :-))))

How 'DO' you think them up? ;-(

Christina, you are treading a path worn smooth by many others before
you. The liitle creep asks questions to wind people up and start
arguments like this one but never, ever gives a straight answer
himself.

It really isn't worth the trouble to respond.

Im busy gardening. Even though the weather is absolutley atrocious there is so much that needs to be done that you just cant stop gardening because of a little rain. I also dont understand your point about gardeners not posting anything! If they are not posting anything, then they are gardening right?

I didn't respond to him. Like many others I don't even see his posts,
unless someone innocently copies them. That's why I had a friendly
word with someone who did.
