 Hello Bill,
  
 That's the spirit I expect from alpine lovers and rock gardeners - it's not 
 an interest that goes away.
 I don't travel these days - but I enjoy reading about those places other 
 folks get to visit. Lots of plants
 are not growable in my garden - but I like to find out about them anyway. 
 Important to keep an enquiring mind,
 I think- and I'm glad the IRG is something that keeps your interest.
 Thank you!

Hello Judith,

Thanks for your kind words to the IRG team and our great contributors.
I can sympathise with your weather woes - here in N.E. Scotland it has been so 
dark and damp lately 
that it seems a miracle  that anything is growing at all.   
Thankfully the plants are made of tougher stuff than the gardeners!

The weather brings further problems for the plants under glass, of course - 
these have been mentioned in the Bulb Log,  where Ian describes problems with 
botrytis
