It's slower then many of the other forus but you eventually get an answer most of the time.

I think a lot of folks are busy with their gardens and going on vacation.

I like to respond to straight forward questions with a single answer possible. Many questions are so general that many answers are possible, unless more information is offered to narrow the scope of the question. Al

Just some fast and dirty Googling suggest August - September are rather quiet months on this forum. May seems to be the busy month.

Well I am the odd duck, I started reading this forum about 2 weeks ago. I am in the learning mode and do not feel I have any knowledge to provide at this time. I hope in time I will be able to contribute even if it is a bunch of errors that might help someone else.

Keep reading, there is a lot of information available on this forum =)

I never respond on this forum.

Last respondent congratulations - that's a first then!

Ha Ha eric oh - you KNOW that is not true.....

Carrie (I've been lurking and I KNOW the people who respond....LOL)

Hey if you don't see a lot of activity here you ought to swing over to the Master Gardeners Forum, those guys NEVER have anything to say, even if you ask them questions that they could really expound on. The Garden junk forum used to be a lot of fun with a pot load of people doing different things and then it kinda de-evolved into a year long discussion on bowling balls (yawn) and lots of folks lost interest.

I came here looking for information on starting clematis from seed and haven't found anything worth responding to until I saw this post. haha I can't pass up an opportunity to give an opinion, no matter how silly I might sound.

I think that if people just don't know, or like me were really searching for specific information, they just wouldn't respond to posts that didn't address the subject they are interested in. Cheryl

Just found this forum yesterday and asked a question and actually got an answer... so there you go! :)

Interesting that this thread, not actually asking any type of question related to the forum, has had more responses than my initial post asking about a "how to" on seed planting....kinda funny to me.

I guess there probably is a down time though like someone else suggested...Unless you have a GH and then like me, you are gearing up, gathering info and getting ready for winter planting....

What was the question? I try and not stick my 2 cents in unless I have at least a few cents to spare... ie I can't answer what I don't know :)

I think it was something about growing Kudzu from seed in middle GA?
Over here as well? U have too much time on your hands.LOL

I'm kinda convinced that rjinga is messin' with our minds, I've also forgotten what this thread was all about!

I wouldn't do that!!!
I had posted a question about starting some seeds, and for the longest time no one responded (then finally I got one response with a suggestion)....so I posted another thread inquiring if the posts on that forum actually get read and why no one seemed to respond...I could tell from the multitude of other posts (which also had NO responses) that it might be a common thing...that maybe there was not many people reading the posts, hence no responders.

And then interestingly enough my post "do people actually read and/or respond on this forum" got a BUNCH of responders...which also was interesting to me.....go figure.....

rjinga

That may well qualify as ironic!

Rjinga, I find a number of people regularly responding to questions and being helpful on a regular basis on this forum. Do you think you could have been a little impatient?

"For the longest time no one responded" - I looked and it was 12 hours, or half a day, between your original question and this post.

Well folks what I want to know is  having made our best efforts to enlighten rjinga - are we finally done here?
If memory serves me right, isnÂt this forum all about the successful raising and growing on - of seeds, well? ... (Oops!)

My initial post requesting info and this post asking if anyone reads the posts may have only been a day apart, but my comment was not just focused on me alone (or my post) but an observation from many other unanswered posts...that were quite old. After reading back several pages I saw a trend that many were never replied to.

and yes, I think we are done....

dogdaze I was already enlightened, but you can certainly take some credit for it if you'd like :)

I know that I for one being a novice at seed propogation, always appreciates help and suggestions....If there are folks out there who have the wisdom that we are seeking, I am hopeful that they will be willing to share their knowledge, so maybe we can all be sucessful seed-heads :)

EOM

I just scroll down, login and take a dump.

Bear.......TMI my friend

Humor me.

:)

Obviously people read and respond to this forum.

Putting out info for others to read, doesn't necessarily garner responses. Frustration should only be a problem if you are faced with a problem and nobody seems to be echoing back some help.

I myself, admit to being quite wordy and yep, a bit proselytic. No big deal. The folks on these forums have been a much appreciated source of guidance and might I add, assurance in some of my novice blunderings into the gardening hobby.

My wit sometimes gets into the act. I don't mean to be offensive.

What the hell does TMI mean?

"I just scroll down, login and take a dump"

*******
Bear,
maybe you can create a post and ask someone? see if anyone answers...ha, ha...

or you could google it....

Or you could ask someone under 40?....

OR I could cut and paste a google search I did for you...

here it is:

1. TMI 567 up, 36 down (from Urban dictionary)
Too Much Information - way more than you need/want to know about someone.

John: I have a mad chafing rash on my xxxx.
Frank: uh, TMI

Bear,
I've been dying to ask - regarding you scrollin down, loggin-in and so on - does all of this really take place in the woods?
;-)

Ah, a philosopher!

The only answer I can provide is that 'yes', folks do read and respond to this forum.

What a bear does in the woods, is TMI.

:)

"Bearscat",
I'd be hard pressed to describe myself as a philosopher but having read and enjoyed many of your posts, would humbly suggest that you are definitely worthier of this grand appellation by a long long way.
I hope that's not too TMI for you!
;-)

And I thought those CA people followed the bears around to prevent them from DEFILING "Their idea of nature". They will soon be coming out with bear diapers and R nold will have Maria leading the pack of Dems. showing them how. I think the Kennedy's could handle that, provided they can do it from MA what every they call it.

1eyedJack and the Dawg

Oh!No! Politics and interstate rivalries, is this thread sinking to a new low?

1eyedJack and the Dawg - try some of that good old sippin' whiskey and chill, life's too short!

Come Come now. Not everybody in California wants to tear down crosses, eliminate 'In God We Trust' from currency and chain the masses to useful labor for the common good of humanity while supporting criminals and undermining our national identity for a vote. Bears are still safe in the 'Bear Flag' state.

Even among Democrats, there are many who think their party should split into two separate parties. They just don't know how to make the necessary sacrifice or aren't yet happy with the alternatives that have started to pop up.
