This has nothing to do with allotments. At the very best, this topic should be in The Shed, but seeing as this is your 1st post and I cannot see why this has been posted on an allotment group, I am reporting this to our Mod.

Oh for god's sake, Ross!  >:(
Don't worry, BK, we're not all so hostile towards newcomers! I'm sure someone will be able to help you out!  ;D

Now I see what Eric meant when he referred to the Self Appointed Committee for Public Safety, Morals and Correct Posting.

Hi BK,

Although this is an unexpected place to post your request for help, I`m sure there are skilled and friendly gardeners in all parts of the UK.

I will email you at the address you give, and help with your research if I can.  :)

Essex girl extraordinaire here!  The best, friendliest county ever, and all the better cos I live in it! hehehehe.  Ava will email you at the address given.

And Ross, gotta agree with Spurdie and Hugh, does it really matter where it was posted...does it really matter when people digress, wander and natter about other things.  I don't understand quite why you felt it necessary to report the thread to Dan, who is obviously rushed off his feet.  There is nothing rude, offensive or insulting in this thread at all!

I sincerely hope I am wrong but I have a feeling Ross has abandoned the board, :(  on the basis that his name and avatar is missing, it will be a great shame as he has passed on valuable information in the short time I have been here.
Ross if you are reading this and I am right, please come back, you are a valued contributor.
If I am wrong, then find me a corner to hide in. :-[

Hi BK

Essex is crammed between Hertfordshire (Where I live) and Suffolk (I think ) in the South East of England.  That is the geographical situation but for the rest, do a Google and hopefully you will be able to pick and choose.  Good luck!
