Calling Cornish gardeners on the forum

Recently joined this forum. Any other Cornish guys ??

 

There was, but they've not posted for a long while,

Member, Bigbird is the only one I can think of from cornwall, but there may be others.

 

My family name has origins in Cornwall and Northumberland. Does that count?

 

I thought it might, first bit means Village in Celtic Dave.

 

I think it means something like, clearing or settlement by the wood.

 

That makes sense to you and me, everyone else will be scratching their heads & wondering what the tree we are on about

 

I've been to Lostwithiel, does that count?

 

I once got piskie led in Cornwall, being directed for over an hour in a big circle through skinny rural roads.

 

I had an uncle called Verdun.

 

Did you? Veeeeery interesting!

 

Kindred spirit, again, there aren't too many "verduns" around. Surprised not too many Cornish posters. We have so many famous gardens, grow such a wide range including tender plants and everyone seems to garden so........
Anyway, Cornish or not, I take notice of everbody's post

 

Why don't you get more Cornish people to join? Whenever I've been to Cornwall one of the things I've liked about it is that everyone seems to know somebody who knows somebody, and everyone seems to pass through the local pub. Why not have a word with Zigs about some of the GC business cards, and cunningly 'forget' them and leave them lying on the bar

 

We had someone join a while back, but they've not posted for a bit,

Good idea Dave, PM me your address Verdun & i'll send you some. Feel free to copy them. Aesculus puts them in Gardening books before returning them to the library

 

Hi Verdun, well my name is a bit of a giveaway as to where I am from.
Unfortunately my parents moved to the mainland, (Penzance) soon after I was born.
I'm now well and truly settled in south devon.
