Hi dinky
Glad to hear you are all mended and getting back down to the plot.
I bought two azada, sort of his and hers from
http://www.get-digging.co.uk/tools.htm
Quick, freindly helpful service and more to the point great tools. i am the proud owner of a lightweight one @ £24.00 and a medium weight one @ £27.00. My daughter and I can use both and OH hasn't given 'his' a go yet.

Welcome back Dinky Doo. Hope you are much better and have a good gardening season. I'm disgusted to hear about your greenhouse and plants. Just how do people who do these things feel about themselves. Very sick making.

Totally agree with Alice, hope things get better. I know it's off the subject but what do vandals get out of destroying things (especially plants and trees). I can just about understand (though strongly disapprove of) stealing things if they have a use or re-sale value, but destruction is pointless.

Hi Dinky Do

I see you're in Preston - where's your allotment? I live in South Ribble and am currently on most of the waiting lists there.

That's terrible about your seedlings & greenhouse. You should have a rottweiler wandering loose in your garden to keep the little horrors away.

Hi Dinky Doo sorry you have been unwell but glad to see you back.
How about a sawn off to solve your "Git" problem
