Grows on You is definitely growing! We don’t often report back on figures but I thought I would mention this mini milestone…

We crossed 100,000 conversations on Grows on You! Of those conversations 25,617 took place in August so you can see the growth :)

Thanks for helping making Grows on You what it is and what it is becoming. I hope you continue to enjoy sharing your gardens!

Good gracious Ajay! What a lot of chatting! Maybe it was the weather as well as the growth in the number of members. LOL. There'll be a lot today with the torrents that have fallen this morning!

I estimated about 5, ah well......!
Let's start counting again...
:-)

Well done Peter & Ajay for a brill site, have to admit all this rain will get more on the site.

6 Sep, 2008

 

WOW. That is amazing. A very successful site, well done.

6 Sep, 2008

 

Well, what did you expect from a site like this .... It's great. xxx

Amazing! Will we also see a rise in the number of reported cases of Carpal Tunnel or Dupuytrens contracture attributable to GOY?

Looks like Google has a popularity rival in GoY, eh, Ajay ?

They both start with Go,

but it seems GoY is forging ahead, and going global.

Congratulations on your success. Well deserved.
I think it's a definite hit, whatever the weather.

Ajay ~ I like a few statistics.
So please can you tell us, just for fun, the letter of the alphabet which is most often chosen for initials of GoY names?

Maybe C ~ Chrispook, Clarice and Cluelesskev,

or D ~ David, Daff, (sorry Youngdaisydee, you're a Y)

or how about P ~ that seems quite popular ~ Poaannua, Peter, and how could we forget Pollyannaever.

We have an X because of Xela.

But do we have a Z or a Q ?

Over to you, Ajay.

PS.
I've just found a member called Zee, so that's one question answered !

PPS ~

I still have my money on the inital 'P' :

Pottygardener, Pansypotter, Popeymike, Philip........

9 Sep, 2008

 

I'll have a pound on 'B', and a pound on 'G'.
...and another pound on 'H', cos it sounds 'gardeny'.

:-)

9 Sep, 2008

 

Oh, Kev ~
if only you hadn't been so clueless,
we'd have another 'K'.

You could be right with 'G'. And some will probably agree with you, such as Gardengnome, Gillian, and Grenville.

The 'A's could surprise us, with Anglieteale, Arlene, Andrewr, Amy and Ams.

I'm not putting money on it, though, because there may be some last minute competition from Joannie, Jackie46, Janey and Jess ~

or possibly Mazziestar, Mrscrocosmia, Mrcrocosmia and Muddywellies.

Still searching for a GoY name starting with Q.
Please let me know if you find one ~

Signing in right now could be
Queenie, Quentin, and Quarryman. :- )

9 Sep, 2008

 

I knew you wouldn't let me down Lyd.

Did you think up that very witty answer on your own, or with help from team-mates, Leo, Lori and Lorrainenagle ;- )

With this blog's contributions, the title should
now be changed to 100,021 conversations...

or is that 100,021 comments ?
When does a comment become a conversation ?

i think its on the 22nd comment

Sounds like you've all slept in the knife drawer...you are all so sharp. I notice some people blame the weather for everything, even the number of conversations on GOY!! It's just a fun site, that's all!

9 Sep, 2008

 

Or 24th conversation.

Here seems the right blog to celebrate the fact that this morning Spritzhenry has romped past the 5,000 total in her GoY outbox.

A good number of her comments are replies to questions from new members, at which Spritz excels.

Her posts are always extremely interesting and knowledgeable, and many are very amusing.

So congrats. Spritz. :o)
Looking forward to the next 5,000.

OOOOOOOH! I didn't expect this! What a lovely surprise - thanks for the very kind comments, TT.

Another milestone :
Jacque has now uploaded more than 2,000 photos!

Appropriate that these latest pictures include a very cute bunny rabbit and half price viola - well done Jacque in getting some bargain plants!

2,000 pictures. That's a lot, Jacque.

I would guess just over 5% of all GoY photos.

Bonkers will tell me if my maths. is wrong. :o)
