Maybe peeps are getting a bit twitchy as it's the start of a new growing season (hurrah!). I go into hibernation through the fallow winter months, but always come back as spring starts. I like FH a lot, but feel very happy to dip in and out...there's a hardcore of dedicated FH posters for sure, but I don't feel it's cliquey in the slightest. And if there are more free chat threads opened, I'd do the same there.
