    .

    Wow! It's nice to be famous:dbgrtmb:

    Have just started to read my copy of Computeractive magazine (no 337) and there is a bit on Gardening advice online and GC get second mention after the BBC!

    It says, GC is lively and active discussion forum where people can share their ideas, ask questions and chat about horticultural issues etc etc!

    Now you all have a lot to live up to, and I always thought it was the undiluted carrot juice that you lot were taking was responible for the jovility :P:P



    Cheers

    Thats great news! Spreading the word about Gardeners Corner in any format/media has to be a good thing...letting others know what we already know...is even better!

    Yea, does that mean I can carry on Gardening, Fishing, Geologising, Foraging,Geographying, Drinking, Smoking & Lobbing Bottles as usuall ?

    Even though we might be in the limelight !

    Hey, how about I get us a feature on Gardeners World & just refuse to believe that Jolly Geoff Hamiliton is Dead, and that they just "Dissapeared" him to make way for younger presenters ?



    Sorry, probably made a few words up there, missed spelling at school.

    Has anyone else noticed that when you are Googling a gardening query , GC comes up in the top search results quite often. Sometimes it is the first, and the only good advice on the subject :thumbsup: (Then again I may be searching for odd and obscure subjects :D)

    Odd yes, obscure no.

    More sort of esoteric with a bucket of chilli sauce & amphetamine.
