In the Garden

[grovesy]

I keep meaning to eat a few of those leaves, new ones of course... 🙂

I must go and smell my Ribes...mine's a less common pale pink one, maybe it won't smell so bad, I'll keep yous posted.

Grovesy I couldn't post pictures before now I can! I have to put them on Facebook or Google first though, to make them smaller, they're huge straight from my mobile. Too big for a forum.

Mum's Camellia is fabulous this year, is it all Camellia's or just hers? Anybody got a Camellia? Can you see it at the back there, next to the ginormous Eucalyptus? I must get a close up...I'm so techie, I have to walk up to it lol. My idea of zoom. I'm a Luddite.

I don't see how that would work.

I don't see how that would work.

Well, I used to use an Olympus and had no trouble, but when I got this fancy mobile I started using it for photos but they were far too large to post anywhere apart from Facebook which automatically makes them smaller. I have no idea why. The powersthatbe on that site which is boatloaded have probably put something into place for making sure nobody posts pictures that will take up too much bandwidth or whatever the heck it is. Suits me anyways. 🙂

It's camellias generally, Ditto. The pale pink one next door is nearly over (it flowers early) but the older and enormous one a few doors down is a deep red one and is glorious.

We've always had an excellent display of pissenlit in our garden together with millions of self seeded buddleia seedlings.

Ooh, jealous of anyone with a Camellia, we’ve got the wrong soil, and they don’t thrive round here.

Sorry I know how to post on Facebook that is easy but transferring from there to here. I don't really see how that would be.

This was mine in Southampton - best £3 I ever spent in Woolworths! 🙂 Must get another 🙂

Click on your FB photo, three dots should come up on the top right hand side. Click on those and various options will come up, press save photo. That should then go onto your camera roll. Hope that helps and works!

Some of our triple headed narcissus have popped up in an unusual place, right in the middle of a rose bush and sage bush! They smell gorgeous. The others haven’t flowered yet.

What camera roll?

 

[trophywench]

How daft eggyg! Still, naked rose bushes are ruddy boring normally, so I daresay they brighten things up no end!

Well I have checked on Facebook on my Phone, Tablet, and Laptop, and not all give the 3 dots and the one that does not give me the option to do anything with the photo.

On your phone or tablet.

Hmm... I’m stumped now. What sort of phone/tablet do you have? Here’s a couple of screen shots from a photo on my FB page. They show the three dots and what happens when I press them. I have a iPhone 6s, which is quite old. I didn’t have to reduce the size as FB had already done it.

Our plum tree has just sprung into blossom and doesn't give a hoot for social distancing as it's doing its best to attract flying visitors.

On your phone or tablet.

None.

 

[grovesy]

Both are Samsung. I just noticed it mentions messenger I don't have it on my Tablet or Phone, by choice.

I'm just posting from my Google photos and it works just fine. Do you have Google Grovesy? Do your photos go straight there like mine do? I was freaked out at first, I thought it was very cheeky of them doing that without asking me but now I rely on it as when my mobile went freaky and deleted all the photos on it by mistake they were on Google. Phew.

Northie that is gorgeous. Did you not dig it up and bring it with you? I would have done.

 

[grovesy]

I am on my tablet and Google Chrome on here does not seem to have on here. I dont seem to get the option to share here from Google Photos.

 

[Ditto]

I am on my old clapped out laptop what fell off the back of a lorry. What I do is, the photos are on GooglePhotos and I click on that and save one to my documents and then click 'post reply' on here and then do a bit of waffle then click the thingy at the bottom which is a little paperclip with 'Attach files' then I click the relevant photo from my documents and I also click 'thumbnail' so it won't be too big for the page. Clear as mud! I would never have made a teacher, that's definitely a vocation!

Can't believe how much of a tip the garden is. The Stonecrop wants recomposting.

I have a sort of dead hebe in a pot but in the spirit of my glass is half full. I have planted again and will see if it 'takes'. I believe it is pretty difficult to kill a hebe. Well done me
