Two years since Supersprout passed away

**HeyWayne** · 03-03-2009, 04:30 PM

I always think of her when I see straw bales.

**SarzWix** · 03-03-2009, 04:36 PM

It was great advice then, and still is now.

*Joins you in raising a glass (well, it's a brew but I'm sure she wouldn't have minded)

I arrived here just as she passed on. It was so obvious from what people said about her that she was very greatly loved and respected here. It's one of the things that made me feel that the Grapevine was a place I wanted to be.

Sadly missed.

Still on grow your own veg programme with Carol Klein though.

I can remember that there was a thread about it very soon after i joined the forum and i thought this is a nice place to be where people care about their fellow forumees (or grapes as i believe we are called)

Aye, I'll raise a glass to her tonight. Well, a cuppa as I'm off the booze these days.

Her allotment thread in Growing Techniques is and always be, one of the most inspirational reads for any gardener. It was one of the first things to grab my eye when I first registered and I still regularly open it up and gaze at how brilliant it is.

I don't shed a tear easily but I am now!

She had a sound knowledge of gardening and was an inspiration to me and others.
She was good crack and we had some really good banter.

I still use the methods that were her trademark.

She is sadly missed.

Sarah's recipe for beans in tomato sauce was only discussed by Zazen999999 and myself on Saturday.

A warm woman, very knowing and giving. The world would be a better place with more Supersprouts about.

Can't believe it's been that long. She freely dispensed great advice to all and sundry and I'm sure inspired a lot of early grapes to greater things.

R.I.P. S.S...

Unfortunately it would seem I was not around here at the time in question, from what I have read it sounds like she was a great lady,, just wish I had had the fortune of being an aquantance..

Sincere condolences to friends and family at this time.

Ah yes, I only knew her a little but she is sadly missed - I still have some of her JA's and think of her whenever I see them.

RIP.

Wish I had know her.....she sounds a lovely lady, a toast!

**shirlthegirl43** · 03-03-2009, 08:39 PM

I always remember her when I get itchy fingers early in the year and sow the first pot of peas for shoots. It was her suggestion for alleviating the need to get something growing. cheers SS - you are much missed.
