Gonna miss you Philip
It was also a shock to me.
Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly believe it is the body - members - gardener's, friends that make the site. In a few months/years it will all be a distant memory. As long as Dave and Trish are still making the major/minor decisions I am confident that we will ALWAYS have a place to come together and share our comments, pictures, words of inspiration, make friends, agree to disagree, laugh, cry, challenge each other, learn, on and on.
I am here for the long haul !
I have always enjoyed seeing gardener's from all over the world posting here. Whether it is Glen and Bron in Australia, Philip in Ireland, Hilary and Cliftoncat in the UK, touchofsky and sooby in Canada, Dellac in Tasmania, Cindy in Michigan, Taylordaylily in Ohio, I could go on and on. So far the only change I have noticed is the pop up ads. I chalk that up as a way to pay the bills.
