gardeing?What is it?
HI, I am sorry that a stupid mistake, by myself has caused such disharmony
within this ng. I hope people have vented all their animosity towards each other and can now get on with posts to do with gardening, which I am sure many novices like myself find interesting and helpful. I hope one day when I need particular advice I can call on the ng(without pics.) and find a friendly and helpful bunch of gardeners ready to reply, until then Happy Gardening to you all. Jakell |

Jakell Don't worry too much Jakell, everyone makes the occasional mistake and I'm sure more people would like to vent their spleens on the idiots who are continually posting rubbish to half the newsgroups out there. As for disharmony within this newsgroup, that is inevitable, just don't mention, cats, foxes, gardening outside the UK, or any one of numerous other topics which spin off really quite daft troll wars.

HI, I am sorry that a stupid mistake, by myself has caused such disharmony within this ng. Anyone who hasn't made a mistake, hasn't done anything. I hope people have vented all their animosity towards each other and can now get on with posts to do with gardening, which I am sure many novices like myself find interesting and helpful. The wealth of information in this newsgroup, as far greater, and in general terms and under 'normal' circumstances, is far greater than can be read from the magazines on the newsracks. I hope one day when I need particular advice I can call on the ng(without pics.) and find a friendly and helpful bunch of gardeners ready to reply, until then Happy Gardening to you all. You most certainly will!! I am not a 'plant' gardener, although I am learning a lot from what is posted here and information relayed to my wife who is an avid gardener. BUT, as you have seen on this newsgroup, there are the 'old hands' who 'own' the newsgroup and act as net nannies. They are far more fortunate than the likes of you and me, in that they were born with the information and didn't have to learn it:-(( Mike Jakell |

And I haven't even mentioned your boastfulness about your past business endeavours.

After all we may not grow acres of Pineapples or bananas but many of us have a plant or two of them. Agreed. But lets please remember that this ng is about gardening in the UK, so that if you are talking about growing bananas outdoors, you remember to explain where you are and what *your* climate is like, so some inexperienced beginner doesn't assume that his banana will be OK outdoors in the UK. If you want a world-wide gardening ng, rec.gardens is available. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Kay wrote ".........If you want a world-wide gardening ng, rec.gardens is

Those posting from outside this area frequently get sarcastic comments and being told that rec.gardens is for America only. I for one like to think that in this group we are more tolerant, and prepared to share our knowledge with anyone who wants it. By the way some varieties of Banana are capable of being grown outdoors in parts of the UK. I just wish that people posting questions would give an idea of their location, be it in the UK or beyond. Finally, I was doing a sale a couple of weeks ago and a young couple were looking at some of my plants. She turned to him and said "Shall we get some plants for the garden?" "Don't you remember" he said "Mam bought us 4 last year". -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

nurseries.freeserve.co.uk writes Kay wrote ".........If you want a world-wide gardening ng, rec.gardens is available....." rec.gardens is world wide if you consider North America to be the world. Those posting from outside this area frequently get sarcastic comments and being told that rec.gardens is for America only. And that is what is likely to happen if we change the charter of urg to make it world wide - UK gardening will be swamped by the numerically largest group of internet posters. I for one like to think that in this group we are more tolerant, and prepared to share our knowledge with anyone who wants it. If by that you mean 'our knowledge of gardening that is relevant to UK conditions' I agree wholeheartedly, and I think it is evident that we are very willing to share our knowledge. There has never been an issue about people posting from outside the UK. They are very welcome. By the way some varieties of Banana are capable of being grown outdoors in parts of the UK. Yes, I know that, and it is irrelevant to the point I am making, which is that growing methods on, say, the Windward Is are supremely misleading to gardeners in the UK unless the post has been tailored to UK conditions by giving enough information for the UK gardener to see where his conditions are different. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

We have welcome contributors from abroad but most have climates similar to parts of the UK. Our climate is so variable within a small area, length of sun hours/rain hours/hot/cold temps. etc. so different to other places that it isn't much use giving us advice from many foreign countries or us giving it to others from many foreign countries. It just won't be any use. Even within UK you will often see that contributors here are asked where they live, because the climate and conditions in e.g. Parts of Yorkshire will be very different to those in parts of Devonshire. -- Sacha |

writes It would for example be futile for someone in India to tell us how to cultivate rice in Scotland That is true but it is an extreme and unlikely example. Many plants as exotic as rice are grown in UK and advice on their native culture can be very helpful for gardeners here wishing to try them. UK has an averagely temperate weather pattern with wide local variations. Many other parts of the world have sufficiently similar weather patterns for horticultural advice from this group to be welcome outside UK. In either case, UK gardening is being discussed. What's wrong with that in urg? -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

Let's face it.you are not much of a poet either. Franz You are cordially invited to post ANY contribution I have ever made, to any newsgroups, where I have proclaimed to be a poet. Very little poetry appeals to me, I would rather have good music thank you. I look forward to your response. Start searching. Hope you have plenty of time. Mike |

They are far more fortunate than the likes of you and me, in that they were born with the information and didn't have to learn it Well I've only been looking in for a few months and I see some regular posters posting useful information and responding to questions from new and old alike. In addition to that, I see a few comments on posting etiquette - the "rules" (written and unwritten) for all - that keep such a group readable and enjoyable. Believe me, where they aren't adhered to, groups quickly become very difficult to read and next to useless as far as information goes. I've also seen you making this comment a number of times. Sufficiently often for someone to jump to the conclusion that you either you are being picked on or that you might have a a finely chopped piece of solanum-tuberosum on your shoulder. (Not sure which variety). -- regards andyw |
