Oh Dear! Have just read through this thread - I do sympathise with you Doubledug. I find it astonishing that there are some sites that are so incredibly restrictive - usually just one or two people who are desperate to hold onto a bit of control and influence over others, without much if any logic applied. I truly Thank Heaven that my site is so laid back, and an absolute delight to garden on. Every single plot is different from its neighbour, with typically laid out plots, not a weed in sight and all in the neatest rows (the old boys), ramshackle plots, quirky plots, plots given over mainly to hens, plots with just willow trees on, decorative plots, stunning Chelsea Flower Garden plots (and mine bringing up the rear. A bit of a mess but I like it!)
