It is a wonderful conglomeration of people interested in Gardening from all over the World! Even Texans are allowed 
The site belongs to Ian who is in the UK, as Ziggy and I are. It takes a while to get used to those Americans, and others, but we find they are generally not too bad. It's interesting to find out several differences in our gardening problems and tips.
Welcome to the forum ''Why.....'' A user name is marginally better than oy you, or thingy, or something random. Does it matter to you very much where this forum is based?

Hiya! I’m in UK too. No I found that any user name I chose was ‘ already taken’ so I got cheesed off.
I wondered if with the different climates, the advice may sometimes be different? Don’t know but I guess gardening anywhere is pretty much the same although a lot of different plants etc…

Plants are plants, but climate tweaks things a little. I can tell you lots of stuff about houseplants that apply everywhere, but it takes awhile for me to figure out the difference between Norwich, Northumberland and Norfolk. Don't get me started on the shorthand versions that don't show up on maps! Not to mention the difference between Ontario, Canada and Ontario, California!
Oh, and the Aussies and South Africans with their backwards seasons!

Yup! You guys are heading into summer and down under is heading into winter. Needless to say I'm frantically doing as much as I can in the garden before the rain and cold sets in.

Subscribers are mostly from the UK and USA.
In the USA they have yards.
Here in the UK, we mostly have gardens.
There are many yards. But they are usually hard standing behind industrial units where they park up heavy vehicles.

Hi, welcome to the forum.
'Why ...' is a good abbreviation I am lucky with my name, there are not many of us. I have a YouTube channel where I read the stories I write. There is only one other user who has my name on YouTube and he posts videos of cricket games, no conflict.
It is interesting seeing stuff from all around the world, I know a lot more about mangoes than I used to, not that that was ever much. There are a few people who claim to speak English, but call things by strange, foreign sounding, names like 'cilantro' or 'zucchini', some of them are okay.

This is GARDENING FORUMS USA, rudely taken over by GB.
Tetters, If this is a British site why does it pop up when I type Gardening forums USA?

On the other hand when I Google "Gardening forums UK" there it is.
''I am lucky with my name, there are not many of us.'' Phew! thank goodness for that (Oliver has a good sense of humour by the way, being British)
Fortunately there are many other gardeners here from your neck of the woods and indeed in other countries who have a much more friendly and pleasant attitude.
Phew! thank goodness for that (Oliver has a good sense of humour by the way, being British)The site belongs to @Ian and he lives up the road here in the UK. Shall we ask him then Mr Texas? Might be interesting to see just how ''rude'' he was on the take over. I think Oliver answered your other point rather well.
