One Million!!

Well it took us two and a half years to get to half a million comments and less than 1 year later we have reached a million!
It just goes to show what a chatty, helpful, friendly place GoY is – long may it continue :o)
The one millionth comment created on Grows on You was Sanbaz complementing BonkersBon on the lovely close up of a bee on a thistle.
Thanks, everyone, for making GoY a great place :o)

Congratulations to Sandra, amazing amount of comments, not too surprising though on a brilliant site such as this. Well done everyone. : o )))
17 Jul, 2010
Well done every one..........and especially to San...
17 Jul, 2010
Wow what an achievement 1 million comments fantastic - thank you Sandra .
Given the role bees play in all our gardens and how they would look without them be it fruit flowers or veg growers ..think its a happy appropriate coincidence.Congratulations to all involved.

Congratulations

"This place is buzzing" now, almost 24/7. Fantastic pic, as always, Bb, and Sandra, I always thought you could talk, but, really.....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
XXX
Also, CONGRATULATIONS to you, Ajay, Peter et al, for thinking up, and creating, this special place which, now, for many, goes beyond "virtuality".
On a lighter note, isn't it also a coincidence that a "bee" pic gets that milestone comment, so soon after the guys at GOY gave us a "bird" site - and then you make your own special announcement, Peter? Happy Times!!!

That is great Peter/Ajay glad your site has taken off so well, I have even suggested it to my local Association to place this website in their magazine, hope you don't mind.

Well done Peter and Ajay :))
We have all learned so much on Goy plus the sharing of lifes ups and downs.
I think that half a million of the comments must be those replying to Terratoonies contributions :))

I have had great pleasure in joining this site, helpful comments, plant ids, friendly chitchat, fantastic photos by all, but above all the realisation that my plant buying addiction is total normal (phew). So congratulations Pete on this hugely popular site and helping all us gardeners get even more out of our gardens.
19 Jul, 2010
Thanks again, and glad you like it - it's a fair cop, Sanbaz :o)

Congratulations Peter & Ajay, it's great that Goy is so successful, long may it remain so. It's one big social club, I've never made so many friends in such a short time, it's marvellous to "talk" to so many lovely people. Keep up the good work and thank you. Now if you could arrange some rain for me I'd be even happier.
23 Jul, 2010
Brilliant.....I wont forget the day I came accross this site and have never looked back.....Such a wonderful bunch of friendly people. GOY forever......Thanks Peter and Ajay.....
23 Jul, 2010
Agree Milky many of us wont forget the day you joined either ..x
23 Jul, 2010
Must add my delight also! So nice to have somewhere to spend the lonely hours from midnight onwards. I catch up on interesting blogs, comments, questions and see who's joined, read their profiles etc., Sometimes I get frustrated if things don't work for me but there is always kind help offered. Also, I have learned such a lot from other PEOPLE about gardening instead of lugging around a great big book and trying to find the answer. I love real gardens made by real people who obviously enjoy creating them. It's a global community too and therefore quite educational. Who knows where this site will go? Well done everyone!
2 a.m. Signing off now!
24 Jul, 2010
Brilliant.
24 Jul, 2010
Pats on the back all round. One million congratulations.
24 Jul, 2010
Well done everyone indeed :o)
