She's a poppet, but she does look a bit worried - is it 'cos she can see all us gardeners?

Everytime the plants in my garden think spring's nearly here they get a load of snow  dumped on them - more forecast for tonight/tomorrow

I had no idea that Forkers were a exclusive group . I fond the references on here to Fake Forkers most objectionable I posted early on the Morning Forkers thread as I'm up early and it seemed like a good idea - it's impossible for someone with my commitments to keep up with this thread during the week. I've tried to keep put of this spat but it seems that some ate keen to keep it going. Why so territorial?
On most forums the Chat thread is open to all to pop on and out of - Fork Handles has become a bit cliquey what with name changing etc at Christmas I found it very difficult but stuck with it and kept popping in occasionally, reasoning that you probably all just got carried away with the fun of it and didn't realise how it feels to most of us.
However the comments on here make it appear as if the exclusivity is intentional which is very sad. I'm at work and on my phone so will close now and hope you can all get together and sort it put - but I have to tell you this is spoiling the Board for me far more than the troll episode

Not sure what at 'ordinary gardener' is Tall Paul - they seem to me to be a remarkably diverse species - that's probably at the root of the difficulty - trying to meet such different needs in one 30 minute programme a week.

I've been given some heritage tomato seeds by a gardener on here - I think he said they're getting on for 10 years old  - he suggested that I soak them overnight before sowing.  I do hope the weather picks up as I don't have a greenhouse, just two small growhouses so once they've outgrown the windowsills they'll have to move on somewhere ....

Good morning all - wet and miserable here today but the birds are singing so it must be spring - I must get some seeds started this weekend
