    How rude I have been posting away and have not even introduced myself. My name is Chris Taylor, I live and work in Preston Lancashire. In a previouse life I worked in marketing, thankfully I left the rat race, retrained in horticulture and now am a self employed gardener/garden designer/garden writer.

    I am complete plant o holic, and for the last five years have been a keen allotmenteer.

    I hope to be able share some of things I have picked up and learn a bit from you guys too.

    I write a garden blog (more so in the winter when I have withdrawels) and a few pieces for the local press so if you all dont mind ill link to them from time to time in the appropirate places.

    Happy Gardening.

    The Plant man.
