What's this gardening thing? All many of us can do at the moment is look wistfully out of rain battered windows at flattened and washed out plants, rotting vegetables and pools of water where the lawn used to be. In the odd dry interlude, all I can do is nip out to dig up the stuff that's rotting in the wet. My clay soil really needs a few dry days to drain a bit before I can step on it without sinking up to my knees in the mud. There are only so many times I can say I've picked a nice bowl of strawberries or raspberries, which is all I'm getting from the garden at the moment. It seems that the majority of threads this month alone have been non-gardening - and the same was true in June I left Giganews some time ago because I noticed a high rate of message loss (resolved by switching to NIN). The vast majority of threads I am seeing for June and July are about gardening. That it is the non-gardening threads which are attracting the most input is merely because the more active regulars in the group want it that way at the moment as talking about gardening would be depressing. Come on all you gardeners - let-s have your thoughts/questions on gardening please please please I'm thinking I'll get some done when the weather stops being so abysmally wet.
