Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

At this rate perhaps we all deserve comission :lol:

Diane, yes, isn't it strange that most of us have been "in touch" for years probably, but have never met (in my case, except for one, Catherine, who came to our local show with her OH and granddaughter)? Perhaps you all look quite different from the way I imagine you?

Yes, and I too enjoy the Forum replies in the KG magazine as well as most of the articles. I confess I don't read the fruit articles because we can't grow that anyway.

Surely there is only one OH? :shock:

Hi All
Funny you should all be talking about contributions to the mag. I'd like to ask you for another now! (Sorry Nature's Babe, as you suspect I can't offer to pay you a fee, but rest assured that both I and Lady Lettuce are very grateful for your input :) .

This month's Over The Garden Fence has a slightly unusual theme - Bob and Edwin are debating the pros and cons of old varieties V's new compact ones. With small plots and half plots more the norm, is it better to go for new modern compact (and disease resistant) varieties or do you still prefer the old, bigger, taller crops for their flavour. Partly of course it depends on how much space you have but also as Edwin has pointed out, the smaller varieties look neater (important to some) and generally need less support and attention.

Maybe you feel also that small is better since there is only so much of anything you can eat at one sitting, or would want to eat in a season.

Once again I am grateful for your contributions - I really appreciate them and I don't doubt that you'll tell me if you get fed up with my asking for your views! :lol:

Please contribute your views on "this topic link."
