I've just realised you posted to this Newsgroup through some sort of third

party site, it's best to use Newsgroups directly.
If you use OE go to "Tools" then "Newsgroups", download all those
available 
on your server and then choose uk.rec.gardening. If you server doesn't 
supply it, some tight isp's don't carry Newsgroups, then you will need to 
use an outside provider like the excellent www.news.individual.net
