Sounds like a great issue all round. I never did subscribe as it was always too costly to get it this far around the world. Regretting it now.

We have an issue with the RHS as they refuse to send seed outside the EU due to problems with MAF and AQIS!

This really annoys me Fermi. It's our problem after all, not theirs and ifwe are prepared to go through the hoops for seeds, surely they can send it. All they have to do is return with the seed, the printed page of applied for seed that we have sent with the seed application. How hard can it be?

Fermi , surely you know that Ferny Creek Hort Soc . has all the back issues ( as well as a standing subscription ) to the "Plantsman ", and I regularly take some of the bound volumes home to read .

    Lesley , I'm at a loss to guess your real age - according to your various photos appearing on the Forum you must have spent some time recently on a rejuvenating farm ??

Otto, yours must have been the rejuvenating farm as that photo was taken in Sept 2008, and you yourself were sitting beside me, in Viv's garden. Tim took the picture.
