Ref the title"theoldmuckshifter".This may lead most readers to assume I'm an old time gardener. Not so this is my second year with a good size allotment.The title was chosen because of my past employment,which was a civil engineering heavy equipment plant operator.Moving earth but not gardening, so I'l have plenty to ask of you more experienced "diggers".
Thanking you all in anticipation

Morning OldMuckshifter, i just love some of the names people have on the forum, and often wonder why the have them. Mine came from a character out of a book, and sums me up to a tee. :)
Welcome to the forum by the way.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear mendy, i don't think that's boring at all.

I was going to use my surname, but i thought using Windsor might give the game away. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear Alan, i know you have researched it in depth, but i don't think the family tree shows people born out of wedlock. :twisted: :)

I can't remember where my username came from, it was so long ago. But then, Zoladex is supposed to play tricks on the memory.
