As others have said...I have told so many people about this forum and how helpful it is, whether it is about failure/success plants or the right toil to use/possible weed control. A fantastic resource so many thanks as always to all who contribute.
I think it is easy to feel you don't know enough to be helpful, but then someone comes along with a qu about a plant you grow, and you find you do know stuff that you didn't know you knew. And, in turn, other people know stuff you don't. Between us, we must grow a fair range of plants and that is why the forum works.
It's an entirely collaborative effort - that's what makes it useful. I have enjoyed reading your contributions and perspectives @ViewAhead

I've only just looked at this thread. It's very nice that you've started it @bertrand-mabel, and have thanked members, and I'm glad you find it so helpful. It was a great resource for me when I joined many, many years ago, just when there was a bit of bother and a breakaway group formed, but people were very kind to me. Many of them have no idea just how helpful it was, because for me, it wasn't just about gardening - it helped me through a very traumatic period of my life. It doesn't matter if folk only look in and read advice, or if they post a few times or a few thousand. It's what people get out of it that matters
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
