    You can't do it yourself but a member of admin can. I've tagged @Fat Controller, @Loofah and @JWK for you, one of them will kindly change it for you. :)

          All the help we can get is really appreciated, it has been somewhat busy this past few days... all good though.

            You must have been completely swamped, without notice. You have been very gracious.

                Can I ask if it is good etiquette to put our new topics/questions under the right categories or is "general discussion" area ok? It might seem like a daft question, but it's good to know how careful to be about choosing the right area and not messing up your systems. As all the newbies get used to the forum, I guess some of us will put things in the wrong place. Sorry if this is written up on a webpage I should have read.

                If you can try to put them in the right category it helps, but if you aren't sure, general discussion is fine - we can always move a thread to a different section if needs be. We try to be somewhat more relaxed about things like this than other forums tend to be - no point in having life harder than it needs to be.

                  In answer to your request: details of my situation:

                  A long narrow garden in north London - main growing area about 7mx 3m
                  North facing
                  Terraced house
                  Fenced
                  No greenhouse
                  Sheltered
                  No large trees
                  Various armies of cats are a feature
                  Pretty much full sun from March to Sept
                  On much improved clay with oddly sharp drainage (no idea why)
                  Interest in (climbing) roses; growing for pollinators; colour; community gardening; plant dyes
                  Intermediate gardener (you might say) learning over 12 years
                  Fuelled by enthusiam and curiosity more than great hort knowledge
