Title: just to say hi :)
Post by: agapanthus on October 13, 2005, 14:47:10

Hi. I'm new to this site and just wanted to say what a fantastic site it is!!!! Unless your friends are into veggies and gardening they tolerate you banging on about allotments and the like. But to find a site with like-minded people is great!...sorry if I'm banging on !!!!! :)

Folks on here are allotment daft and you can waffle on here to your hearts content which saves you from boring non-lotty lovers to death  ;D  If people don't grow their own they have no idea about us - we're aliens as far as they are concerned.  So you can come on here and talk lotties instead where everyone will join in the discussion.  Very civilised - well most of the time anyway  :)

Welcome Agapanthus,  good choice of name ;)

Hope you have a good sense of humour too, lots of giggles around here.  Do you have a particular interest?

Happy reading, talk to you soon I expect.

Thank you flowerlady! My main interest  (apart from growing veggies) is keeping my animals happy. I have a border collie...6 cats (all growing old and lazy) and 7 hens! I also enjoy cooking, reading and painting....and a lot of arty crafty stuff 8)

Its not so much having someone to brag to about the successes, it's the terrific support you get when there are failures.
