No Problem sure what's the point in knowing something if you cannot share it, that's why I last so long on this site people are interested and interesting and mostly (Always) stick to gardening or horticulture topics. keep it up.

Hey Tawny Owl. Haven't heard from you in a while. Any chance of an update on the progress you made?

Are you on some sort of mission today???
They have all vanished........................

Lying in my sick bed greengage and nothing else to do.
They will still get the e-mail notification, so you never know. Are you not curious as to how some of these projects turned out? A little bit of harvesting could produce something. Not vanished but dormant.

Iam curious, but thankfully not sick, get well soon, the days will lengthen and you will get the longing to search in the soil.

Thanks for the good wishes. Only in the eighth week of it now and finally following doctors orders and stayed home from work and confined to bed.

Does it not get the better of you though, sometimes spending a considerable amount of time and sometimes research helping people out and then you don't get to see the end results?

Not getting at you individually here Tawny Owl should you happen to read this as you are far from the only one.

It used to bother me but not anymore i enjoy the research and sometimes I just post off the top of my head it keeps me on my toes around here, we have dwindled down to about 6 posters regularly, maybe we should have a mini conferance to see how we should increase numbers but having said that on other forums which I contribute posts on there are similar numbers of posters with others dropping in and out and out and others just watching. On other sites I post questions I all ready know the answers too to provoke answers and sometimes to be mischivious, yea still havent figured out what im at on other posts here, keep watching Laughing

Thank you for your informative posts Greengage, I have learned a lot from you. Asking questions is a good idea. I am constantly learning and looking up things. I have gardened for years and love growing things but I am in no way an expert.

I read back over all that just now. I think that the in the winter time when there is not much gardening going on people want to keep posting,to keep the forum active as well as anything else. It is going to liven up soon enough when all the gardening work starts.

Well that is a given Ado, but the point of it all was to increase the number of core members which hasn't happened.

You can't force folks to join in. As you say T, we don't bite. So COME ON YOU LOT you know who you are! Let's hear from you. Very Happy

Not forcing but coercing. A rallying call at last!

Force the rhubarb, not the Forumites!

I like your definition of an expert, Sue.

Yes, this is the usual slack period, just like last year and nothing to worry about, I think. It would be good to have a few more stalwarts, though.

Tomorrow, I'm going to start a new thread to give us something to chat about.
