Good morning Budlia63

I have problems when using Firefox web browser, it must be to do with the settings on mine, I haven't worked out how to change the settings but I also have Google Chrome web browers and if I can't upload or download I use that. I have uploaded some photos this week and been successful so think it may be to do with your settings or web browser. Try clearing the history and cookies on your computer if you haven't already. I am not a computer boffin so hopefully someone will give you some more advice. By the way your dog looks like a cat Good luck!

Storms

We had a thunder storm about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it rained about an hour or so, not much wind but very heavy, the garden didn't take much battering. I hope you managed to get the garden sorte, it is dissapointing when they end up looking mess.

Thanks Jean for the compliment. I did hear that Scotland may have frost at night over the weekend. I live in the North West, today it rained all morning but about 2ish the sun came out , I managed to have a nap in the garden it was very hot and wonderful . I will remember 50/50 compost and grit job done!

Thanks again for the great advice and support.

regards

Chris

Thanks again for the great information. I didn't put any grit or perlite in the pots only compost, I think a visit to the garden centre tomorrow I will repot again with some grit. When this is done is it ok to leave in the garden until it gets colder or on the windowsill.

Thanks again for the advice, I reall need to print this info off and put it in a file so I can just look back on each item of advice I have asked for only I think I am begining to repeat myself, thats due to the age i expect .

regards Chris

Thanks again for the response and information, it looks as if these are not hardy. I have taken cuttings but the cuttings seem to be dying, going yellow. They start off well but have lost a couple, not sure what I have done. I did as instructed from the video on the website and planted about 3 in a pot of compost.

Sotongeoff and Chris2 the links are very informative I now know the difference, thanks again. regards Chris

August in your garden...

All the photos are fabulous and what a treat to see such a variation of gardens. My garden is coming along after all the work, my only wish was that I didn't lay so much lawn, but have space for lots of pots. After saying that , with the advice given regarding a few little problems the lawn is looking perfect at the moment and I am researching how to look after it in the Autumn and winter.

All I can say is thanks for all the help and advice from everyone on this website it has given me confidence and I am pleased with the plants I have grown from plugs and seeds and of course my Fig tree, Palm plant even a crop of lettuces.

Cheers Chris

Hi some great ideas never thought of making shelves, suppose that's being a newbie to gardening, we live and learn everyday. I suppose with shelves it would help the fact that mine will be on a patio.

Flo thanks for the link and yes thats the link I was refering to.
