Hopefully, because nobody knows what's going to happen today, never mind next year.................
Yes I will.
Because I'm addicted.
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I'll almost certainly be pottering around in the background... ;D
-
life without a4a :o
as if ;D
-
Yes :D
I'll still be mainly lurking because I'm not as experienced as others, but I much prefer this forum because some of you are really into varieties. And I get scrumptious info in full colour on those. So keeping posting the photos!
-
Yes indeed, I really enjoy this forum with its many nice folk, the lively chat, plenty of helpful information and lots of good photos. :)
-
I hope to be using it next year. It keeps me on the ball as what to grow and when. Apart from that I have made a lot of friends on here although I haven't seen many of them.Life wouldn't be as pleasant without A4A
-
Yes. Definitely.
For information on new seed varieties and comments on old ones.
For tips such as pruning black currents as you pick.
For a laugh at the wisecracks and watershed jokes.
For information on allsorts of things not gardening.
-
Of course! For all of the great stuff it offers as mentioned above. ;D
-
Still dithering about whether to give up my plot when it's time for renewal in Jan, but I'll still be growing veg so yes, definitely!
-
Because I'm addicted
Me too. Great fun and lots of growing advice. I like the fact that the advice is often variable so I can choose to give different suggestions a try. First hand experience from a great range of growers in a wide selection of locations and conditions.
And of course a good laugh.
Still dithering
Why are you considering giving it up Caroline?
-
most definately - havent found a more straight forward site with as helpful people.
plus people seem genuinly interested in your projects, produce,ups and downs
more of a community than a forum i would say
-
Yes definately :)
I joined for the gardening and that has been most helpful but one of the best things is the way the A4A folk wrap their arms around other members having a hard time. :) and all this while sitting at a comuter -wonderful ;Dl
-
I might go on it once or twice. ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
We need you Kev especially when when things start to get too serious.
-
A4A is the best gardening forum on the net and the second best forum overall. :)
-
I will be working away April-October 2010 so will miss all the growing season. Won't get on here as much as I would like but I will still be logging on to keep up with the crack. You know how it is.... we all need our regular A4A fix.... ;D ;D
-
Assuming both myself and the site are still here in 2010 then yes.
and why? -because we all need to know how to deal with pests and diseases??
-
Yes please - everyone is so nice & helpful to this little old lady who has never had to do gardening before.
-
Of course!
Because it's everything everybody's said - informative, supportive, helpful .... and fun.
Besides, what else would I do with my time? I might be forced to go to the allotment and do some gardening....
-
Certainly I will, I love the folks even the the quirky ones, actually especially the quirky ones and anyway I promised to be A4A personal seed shipper from the States and Canada when we left the UK and intend to keep the promise. We are all settled now so if I can help with stuff from here just let me know.
Thank you friends

-
Thanks Jeannine. Thats a wonderful offer.
-
All being well then yes I will. Lovely people, fantastic support, great ideas, when & where to get bargains (Lidls fruit trees in Feb) etc & don't forget the seeds swaps.
-
Life without A4A :o where would i go whilst having a cuppa and thinking about gardening ;D
-
Yes I live here, :)
Sometimes you don`t see me when I have been unable to login for a while and reverted to guest status but I`m still reading all the posts.
I`m also commenting on the Norwich Allotment Forum regarding specific local issues, but my loyalty is to this forum.

I s'pose I will meander in every so often..........who am I kidding! ;D ;)
-
Of course I will :) :) :) :)
There have been occasions when I've felt like giving it up, but I've made some good friends on here, the good bits more than make up for the occasional disagreement.
:) :) :) :) :) :) :)
-
:) count me in, it's the only forum I belong to :-*/ shades x

For definate
Im moving house to a proper garden at last so i will be on lots to ask for advice and recommendations and yipee im going to adopt some ex battery hens so will have lots of hen related questions!
So I'm looking forward to lots of new challenges and advice!

Can't imagine life without A4A - most of the time I spend online late evenings is spent on A4A, catching up on all the news, information and sometimes adding my twopenn'orth.
I suffered withdrawal symptoms back in February/March when I couldn't use the computer for a while after an operation.

Yes, me too - for lots of the reasons that others have said, but also it is so comforting to know that there are other seed addicts and generally allotment mad people out there. 8) 8) 8)
Also I have just learnt so much - and laughed a lot. Wouldn't want to give it up! ;D
-
oh go on then twist my arm ;D
I have learnt so much from the lovely people on this forum, and I'm sure I will continue to do so in the years to come. And it would be nice for me to be able to encourage others with what I've learned. So yes! And besides I don't know many sites where you end up laughing out loud at some of the comments!
To sum up where else would I find such nutty, generous and lovely folks? :) (enfield probably......)
-
yes, and 'cos I want to!! ;)
-
I''d never have grown parsnips and Brussels without your input, nor built my walk-in solar coldframe without drooling first over your greenhouse pictures...so much helpful info from your side of the Pond even though the climate is different makes it worthwhile.
Not to mention all the funny comments... ;D
-
big up Enfield - home of the funny!
I will be using A4A as usual because the advice is second to none - you just soak things up really, wonderful.

-
Yes like shades its the only forum I belong to. I'm hoping that having been a taker of advice all year I might actually be able to start offering some of my own - Couldn't have done the first year without you all :)

I love reading all the responses- makes me feel alost like an allotmenteer even though I'm still on a very long waiting list for one!
-
gwynnethmary, being an allotmenteer is all in the mind ;D
-
Put it another way - why not??
= Tim (with or without teeth - you can't see me!!)
-
I will because it will be my first year on the plot and no doubt i will have a whole two seasons of questions to ask.
So far i've had some wonderful advice from some very patient people and enjoy the sarcastic wit of some of you ;)
-
yep, i see no reason to fight the addiction ;)
