Excellent news, welcome back, glad you have been able to come to terms with
that business and can now treat it with the comtempt it deserves.
Now we need to entice other gardeners back to the garden shed. :-)

Thanks Bob, your kind words are appreciated. I hope others that are
not posting or who have left will return; as urg is the richer for them
and I think we can all move on a bit older and wiser. However, I do
have to say that I acknowledge that my gardening expertise leaves much
to be desired but I enjoy trying and it's like a miracle when I do
something for the first time in the garden and it works.
I took urglers advice about my strawberry beds and weeds and came to
the conclusion, as I was advised and of course, I ignored, that I had
to replant the lot to get rid of the weeds and I am so pleased that I
did.
Kind regards
Judith

That's so sweet of you June, thank you. If I could have just one wish
and wave my magic wand it would be for you and a friend of mine, to
start talking again. Anyway, how is the dragon drum?

Judith, you have lost me. Do you mean when I did dragon-boat racing
(only banging the drum, not rowing but very scary) in Docklands several
years ago? Other than that I don't know what you mean, unless it is
something to do with Susie and her lovely dragons.

Yes, when you were banging that drum thing, remember you posted a
picture of you sitting in the boat, or did you send me a picture I
can't remember but it was in Docklands.
Has Susie got dragons, what sort of dragons? - real dragons?

I must have sent you a picture. It is a very long time ago and I
haven't repeated the experience. I really thought the boat was going to
sink. I had imagined myself sitting at the end of the boat, well down
in the bows, banging a drum (and looking a bit like Nobu from the Mighty
Boosh, which wasn't around then but you get my drift). As you will
remember from the picture, I was perched like a small, fat monkey high
up above the rowers on a ridiculously small seat. All my family and
several friends were there to watch so I had to go ahead and afterwards
was glad I did. The drum was roped to the boat in case of an upset and
I had to shout to the rowers and bang the drum to keep their strokes in
time. Wouldn't do it again though.

I remember you saying much the same at the time, you didn't look like
a fat monkey, far from it, who is Nobu? and what is Mighty Boosh???

I might have word with Susie about that, I've got her email address.

That must be a different Sue. I've been called a dragon a few times but
never yet made one. ;-)

The Mighty Boosh is a sort of comedy programme. It may have started on
Radio 4 but I didn't hear that. The first I saw of it was on BBB3 a
couple of years ago. They have quite a cult following and sprog and
friends went to see them at the Brixton Academy a few months ago. I am
not sure whether or not you would like them but I think they are very
funny.[color=darkred]

No, no Judith - I meant Susie Thompson. Sorry. Should have been more
specific.

You lovely man, thank you.
Alan, do you remember Jim Burgess who went to Kay's meet in Leeds some
years ago, you and I were both there? Jim hasn't posted for years, do
you know if he is o.k.?

Like you, I haven't seen any of his posts and I have no idea what has
happened to him, I don't think I ever had an email address for him either.

I have a sort of distant memory that he emailed me a long time ago, saying
he had started doing family genealogical research but I must admit that I am
not at all sure of this.

He was a nice man with a great deal of knowledge about gardening. I was
able to help him once when he had mildew on his grapevine.
Is Vitex still sold as I think it was going to be withdrawn. I only
ask because I would like to plant some vines of a particularly variety
and I know that mildew will become a problem sooner or later.

Cormaic is just incredibly busy about his own things, though he gets kept up

Yes, he was here for years and wrote the FAQs on organic gardening - he
then went on, with a lot of others on urg to Expert Gardener.

His particular expertise is in organic veg growing etc. and the FAQs still
show his contribution, I believe. I remember we discussed it at some length
at one time. The Expert Gardener thing was not a happy experience for
anyone involved in it and led to some very bad feeling, as I recall.
