Maybe it should be the first port of call for all those starting to get
interested in gardening (and probably a permanent link from a certain
forum which keeps referring questions to this newsgroup).

How nice for someone to admit in the beginning they didn't know very much
and learnt by 'doing'. So different from all of the experts on here who were
born with the knowledge of a skilled gardener.

Similar to those born with the skill to drive and have no time for the
learner .......

You're welcome.

Once in a while - usually looking for something else - a link appears
which sort of asks you to click on it (somewhat more than the usual
ramblings through the internet do).

Yes, nice story.
Pretty much how I learned and enjoyed learning - with a little bit of college, a lot of help from books etc and rigorous training in commercial nursery work in between.
You have to do it to truly know it, though nobody can live long enough to know it all.
