    Why do squirrels swim on their back?

    Ps. Sorry. Welcome to Gardener's Corner. If you can't ask an expert you can ask me. I don't know anything either. :dbgrtmb:

      Hi jack.
      Well at least I got a reply to my opening post. I will explain that statement.
      I'm not finding this site easy to navigate.
      Since my opening 'hello' I've posted on a problem I have in my garden ( well where else would it be) but I can't see it displayed in the 'diseases' thread. Help.

      @Squirrel nuts Its unlikely you will get many replies in the middle of the day. I am here because my work is sporadic and I have downtime to fill now and again. It might take a few days for other members to react to your posts as they come and go. If you want to ask someone a direct question you need to put @ in front their name as I did above.

      Just be patient. All good things come to those who wait. You are in a good place. :dbgrtmb:

        Welcome to the forum. Perhaps too, there will be few responses because there is no question?

              I've been here a day or three but I can't recall seeing that in any of the forum rules :dunno: :heehee:
              It's not unusual for a new member to post an introduction and also insert a query ;)

              Hi @Squirrel nuts :sign0016:
              I notice your comment above was posted a mere 21 minutes after your introduction post?
              I get that the internet affords us almost "instant" answers to queries and I can see how it must feel a little frustrating that you haven't had an instant answer to your query. As @Jack Sparrow pointed out, this is a forum of active members who pop in at various point of the day/night and with an Admin Team who are also active at various times of the day/night. It is rare that any query is answered within 20 minutes of posting because it depends on so many variables. E.G. Is it a query someone knows something about in the first instance; is that person online at the time; even if they are online, is that person logged into Gardener's Corner? So, "immediate" answers may not always appear to be forthcoming ;) However, in this particular instance re: sawfly, I do know that the person we regard as our person of expertise in the matter of roses, has indeed given you his best answer on the matter, which I do hope will be of use to you :thumbsup:

              Looking forward to seeing you around the forums :)

                          Perhaps it may be of help to you (although it is three pages long :redface: ) to read this: How to use Xenoro ?
