I'm glad people contribute as much as they do, otherwise I would never learn anything. I rarely contribute because I don't have a lot of knowledge but read forum posts every day and am really grateful to all the wisdom shared by people on here, especially the regulars.
Bitter knitter, sounds as if your studies are a bit boring. ICI sent me to college for 26 weeks at a very mature student age and never found it boring. Lectures research, the best library ever, the were grabbing books off me and pushing me out of the door as the lights went out. Working with young people was an eye opener, what ever age we live and learn. We did get gardening experience from parents who had to live out of the gardens, now you have to do it from scratch hence the willing help from those with some little knowledge of it.
Berghill, not all pensioners are poor, some of us have wonderful retirements until illness becomes the problem.
Was just wondering about forcing my rhubarb this year, then read a post about the same variety, grown from seed last year as mine were and what to do with them this year. It's no wonder I pop on here whenever I have five minutes.
The regular contributors are mostly those with superior gardening knowledge so probably don't have to spend very long deciding what to type, They just do it and I love them for it.
Of course, cowslip, if you are a slow reader you probably spend as much time on this website as those wonderful contributors you mention, so you may be criticising yourself.

*shrug* Who knows, she just sort of... vanished! But the silver lining is I think we have more appreciation for ourselves and the forum.

There are some advantages to being retired, even if the money is lousy!

I logged in to this forum today to cheer myself up after reading the newspaper. Long may it continue!

If regulars have superior gardening knowledge, that rules me out!
Me too Steve.
