They are also going to be running what looks like an excellent campaign to make life easier for pollinators...........

Ordered mine thanks

Ordered mine too, looks like they are getting a bit of interest as the site is running painfully slow

That'll be the hamster powered servers. Hamsters are renewable, but they do get tired after a hard night in their wheels charging the batteries.

Seeds ordered. Got a nice grassy knoll I've been thinking about converting to a mini-meadow.

Has the grassy knoll got a good view of BBKA HQ?

Sadly. no. It might be in range for a cruise missile if you have one spare.

It was a clump of ground left behind when previous owners excavated a car park at the bottom of the garden. It has a 50-odd year old apple tree on it that's almost dead. It's tempting to put a couple of hives there, but the neighbours to the right are a bit close, sometimes have a dog with them for a couple of weeks at a time, and almost always have lots of washing hanging out. I'm not sure how suitable it might be, but will get someone from the local association to have a look. There's an image at http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/5537/grassyknoll.jpg. The car is facing pretty much due south.

I gather you don't like the BBKA, then?

mmmm sounds good but . . . . . .
they want my road name as a compulsory field!

I don't have a road name.
Have the same problem with other sites!

Oh well plenty of wildflower seeds for someone else

 

[simonwig]

Martin, just type in whatever is in your address in the "road name field", name of village or whatever. They won't care and will just print out a label with whatever you put in (or should).

We don't have a road name...house, hamlet, post town. Fitted fine.
