Can I thank Alan for all the hard work he has already done and for what he has still got to do. He has kindly offered to finish off my second volume which is on garden tools and related products (trademarks and logos again). This will be completed over the next few months once I have gathered together…[Read more]

Glad to see that the sale of our Irus cultivators made it into this months’ edition, Alan.

So sorry to hear of your bereavements over the past six months, hope you are getting plenty of support from the horticultural members of your local club. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting your area and attending the rallies in October for a few years.

Jean and Graham

Hope you had a good Christmas and best wishes to the family for the New Year.

Hi Ivan
I presume that the photo is of a child sized Web, judging by its position next to your Fireplace and cards?

I will bring you some information and the little booklet that goes with machine when I see you in Sandringham. I presume you are going this year?

He is on a journey from Norwich to London via the railway network as this…[Read more]

They didn’t tend to put brand names on many items either, although they did advertise a wide range of Four Oaks sprayer items.

Next item for your lawn edger display would have to be the Ransomes Lawn Edger – very collectable, reasonably rare and definitely not a cheap buy (unless you are very lucky). The early examples can, I believe, date from 1910 onwards.

Greensleeves was discussed quite extensively in early 2010.

I have retrieved those pictures and now intend to put them here on the new forum – hopefully!

The first picture is from the Carters Seeds – Blue Bo…[Read more]

I did this by clicking on the b in the first box at the top of the box where we type our post. You then have to remember to click the b again at the end of your post or it won’t work.

I also tried to make the text larger but I have failed with this so far. I will keep on trying.
