| Jul 5, 2018 at 19:50 | comment | added | TimR | Most unlikely indeed. The speaker is making a (meta) statement about themselves. | |
| Jul 5, 2018 at 19:48 | comment | added | Kirill Bulygin | @Tᴚoɯɐuo So the second interpretation ("to sound like...") is very unlikely then, isn't it? | |
| Jul 5, 2018 at 19:44 | comment | added | TimR | It is a version of "Take it from me". You can take it from me—roses don't grow well in chalky soil. | |
| Jul 5, 2018 at 19:40 | comment | added | TimR | Imagine a colon after the first phrase: As a gardener: roses don't grow well in chalky soil. A colon indicates that the idea of the second clause flows, in some way, from the first clause or phrase. Imagine an implicit "based on my experience as a gardener I can tell you this:". You could use an em-dash there instead of the colon; that would be more "modern". | |

| Jul 5, 2018 at 19:35 | comment | added | TimR | I think Kirill is saying that as a native speaker seems to "dangle". | |
