Am I missing something here? Or is Mark taking the Mickey to a new height? If the first post is a "passed on" message from Michael in Russia to Mark in Ireland, that's great and I find it particularly heartening that there is a gardening programme on Radio Russia.

John's posts suggest something else.

No Mickey take at all. I now have photos of his house, garden and some of his snowies

I think I detect base male humour with no ill intent :o ;)

Hellow everybody.
This is the first time I've written to the Forum. Delighted to join the best forum in the net. I have a garden near Moscow (covered with snow now waiting for the spring to come) and am crazy of growing bulbs (not only). The reason I entered this subject is that I happen to know Michael Diev and consider him to be the best plant grower here. Hope Mark will enjoy the communication.

Hello, Oleg, welcome to the forum.
We look forward to hearing about your garden, as it awakens from the snow!

Thanks, Maggi, for greeting. Hope to be active in spring. This gorgeous allium stellatum (last year flowering) will probably please you

Right this minute I am feeling MUCH older than 4000  :P

I'll have you know, young Smyth, that my efforts here to keep you "shower" in some kind of order are a labour of love..... there are lots of better things I could be doing.... sleeping, researching cake recipes.... oh, lots of things!  8)

David..... wise words ! :-*
