Allotments 4 All

by exchanging of chat, opinions and different growing methods with people from different parts of the world is such a important thing...what we do here in UK is not just one and only way....tapping into knowledge of people from other countries and cultures is good way to learn more..not necessary 'how to do'..it may well be also 'how not to do'.
As I'm not originally from UK I often find blessed having certain knowledge from each country....I feel 'rich' by learning and knowing how to do same thing different ways..and only by trial I can then choose which is best for me....
So more nationalities in this site, the merrier for me.. ;) ....and finding out all those seedshops in different countries is fun too.. ;D

Now you're talikng my kind of language  ;D  ;D  ;D, oh and seed habit  ;)

Good to see you around GA  :)

Just thought I would add to this thread. (been busy with visitors so have just caught up). I understood that The Shed was for non allotment posts but for general chit chat and in my humble opinion that's just what my post was!! Apologies if I offended anyone. Like a lot of members I really enjoy posts from our friends in other countries.

Nooooooooo don't appologise it was lovely to read your post, tis true, as huge as the world seems it can also be such a small world  ;D
Congratulations to your great Nephew, very talented.

It wonderful we have people from all over the World reading and joining in on this site.

PH managed to ruffle my feathers as well.  I chose to ignore.   

i find this all quite odd,going back to PHs last few posts i see a very lovely post to GA?

There are a couple of grumps that stop the site from being as good as it could (and frankly, that's why I'm not around much these days).

So ignore any negativity & hang around, GA. I for one have enjoyed your different perspective.

As they say " it teks all sorts" and all are wellcome in my book.

Hi GrannieAnnie..you can't go anywhere lovely.. stay put!!

From my Canadain perspective, and one who also knows the UK gardening situation as well as the locals, I think my contributions are helpful. My area in BC is almost identical to most of the UK so I am able to send tips that are pertinent.I also get wind of new veggies not available in the UK so am able to test them out and ship them over to you all, so folks fm other countries should be welcome as they each have their own skills, ideas and seeds to offer.

Plus it can be very useful having an overseas connection on here..especially to the seed swapperss.

I think A4A would lose some of it's appeal if all the overseas posters were made to feel they should withdraw.

You hang in there with me GrannieAnnie.. I ain't going anywhere sweetie. Don't grow a think skin either, just stay as sweet as you are.

I think it's brilliant having people from all around the world and would like to hear more from other places , just my opinion  ;D

I am very pleased that everyone from outside the UK wants to stick around.  I too would like more of them.  Yes different methods and new varieties may not work here but sometimes they are worth a try and sometimes they are just the ticket.

Encouraged by he of 1000 noms de plume I currnently have peas flowering and a water filled tomato protection system under contruction. 

It would seem that the world is our oyster and most posters are keen to embrace it.

The allotments for all site is a good British site for people in the UK
There are loads of American sites but we do (for the most part) embrace the conditions and problems which are British here.
Yes I know a few expats and those who have emigrated or moved abroad  and are home sick join in from time to time  but this site is best suited for the people who live in the British Isles.
Contributors some times fail to tell us they are not in the UK and often readers believe that the contributors they refer to are local. It can cause confusion.
Different parts of the world offer different growing conditions.

I, for one, would rather the site stayed as a UK only site

I think you are the only one!!


the rest of us enjoy the world-wide diversity of A4A  :)
