Hi all,
I have just moved house (from a flat with no garden) and have a jungle to tackle once the unpacking is completed.
I hope the allotment doesnt suffer as a result :s

I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for good gardening forums?  I love the atmosphere here at A4A, so something similar would be ideal.

Alternatively,  could I use this section of the forum to ask a few questions?

Mainly what I will be after are ID's for a few of the shrubs, and a bit of advice on when/how to prune.

Some of the shrubs are huge and will need quite a brutal hack back,  but I would rather not kill them off!

So,  is this site good to use for gardening advice,  or should I look for an alternative?

Thanks
James
