Am following David's instructions and have come up with this...ahem, 'link'.
Please try and see is anything happens - by the way, it is just a random photo, nothing to get excited about. |

| OK, I have some photos on a webhosting site, what do I do to actually just get a picture up in my message? Don't worry if this is all complicated, will get one of my offspring to repay the years of loving care and actually do something useful for once. |

| Oh, Camp, you have succeeded, now that means I'm put to shame. Great pics. How did you do the overhead shot? Flying in via parachute? |

| Suzy, your garden is so organized - I love it! Your brick patio is very classy, and I like the pic. of your grand-daughter. More pitures please! It's nice to see something different from us. Thank you for posting. |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.
| | |
| Hurray! And it looks great! |

| What is the big pink rose on the left in the overhead shot of your garden? Could you post a picture of that? Your pictures are wonderful - Who would have thought you could successfully fit a greenhouse in the space of your garden! I am curious about the allotment - how far in travel time from your home is it? Jackie |

OK, one more at daughter's request
The garden at the height of its first summer - ignore unrendered block walls.

wow, what an adorable greenhouse! I'm really glad to finally see your garden. All this time, I've been imagining this plot of land with roses on it and vegetables, like in a field. haha. I have no clue, of course.
but yours is so cute with the walls and greenhouse and how you have everything laid out so attractively! It's like a secret garden! it looks like a very relaxing place to sit and enjoy, too. |

Jacqueline - none other than Zephirine Drouhin. I struggled with mildew with this rose until I let it grow up and over the wall, supported by the...dunno what to call it...arbour sort of thing. A bit of free air around it works wonders and underneath becomes my 'shade' garden. I only have a few roses - Zepherine, Graham Thomas, Mutabilis, New Dawn and Mme Gregoire Staechelin, and a couple in pots Sweet Pretty aka The Charlatan, Eyes for You, Souvenir de Claudius Denoyel, Odyssey and Pomponella - the rest are at my allotment. Yep, the greenhouse occupies almost a quarter of the entire space (the garden is less than 4m wide and 9m long and the greenhouse if 2.4mx3m) but I use it for everything - at the moment, it is filled with hundreds of peppers, tomatoes, beans, squashes, citrus and a fantastic mandevilla. It never looks very nice though as it is a working greenhouse rather than a display area.
Aimee - no no, the fault is mine - I have 2 gardens - one at home and one much bigger in an allotment which I rent from the council. That looks a lot more like a field. Takes me 5 minutes by bike (and I am a very slow rider - never get out of 1st gear - not that there are any gears on my current bike).
Strawbs - organised! surely you mean something altogether else. Note the little hand hoe grandaughter is using (get them young).
Thank you all for your kind words - this is really quite thrilling for me - despite almost coming to blows with oldest son who resolutely refuses to see just how very thick I am with technology (shouting at me 'no no, windows, not tabs, control V, control V!!! gah!
Jeannie, persevere - do not let husbands or offspring teach you though as they are all happy to be shouty and condescending. My battle is still only beginning as I do not have a camera yet and have not a clue about uploading....but hey, I can grow trilliums and tulipa sprengeri from seed - surely I can handle a few knobs and buttons...and you can too! |

| Yippee! I knew you could do it! Your garden is lovely and your granddaughter is adorable! |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.

Oh, how wonderful to *see* your garden after only imagining, Campanula! You've done wonders with such a very narrow space. I've never had to fit my garden ideas into a rigid slot - I just know I would never have done anything as creative as you have done.
(I know from first hand experience how an oldest adult son can sound while trying to teach his mom something. You can be grateful - and want to slap them all at the same time.)
Well, now you'll have to post photos regularly cause if you don't, you'll soon forget how! ;-) Looking forward to seeing more pics from you this year,
Anne |

| Beautiful garden, size does not matter. Beauty is beauty. Sweet granddaughter--she takes after you, right? |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.

| As wonderful as it is to see the pictures, Campanula, don't let up on the descriptive and always thrilling written accounts of gardening in your world. I will be hoping though to see your 'Spanish Beauty' soon and the rest of your wild-ish roses. You are teaching that grand daughter well! Thanks for posting these. |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.
| | |
| Well done ! Maybe someday I`ll figure it out and post pictures also!! You have made a beautiful garden and it looks so lush. Thank you for sharing your personal paradise....Lesley |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.

| Your walled garden looks so classy, so English to me. I would love a garden like this. |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.
| | |
| I love your garden, Campanula, and your granddaughter is adorable! Now you have inspired me to learn how post pictures... I agree with harborrose, keep up the word pictures, too, we definitely enjoy them! |
RE: trying to post a picture - test and tryout.

| Campanula, You have gone on and on about having a messy garden and THEN post pictures of one of the tidiest gardens I have ever seen. It is just not fair. When, if ever, I post pictures they will show a garden that is indeed messy. Cath |

Ho Cath, it only looks tidy cos no-one is in it! 30 seconds after the whirlwind of children, dogs, DOGS (one is gigantic),cats and my own messy self, there is barely a surface left without teacups, biscuits, newspapers and books,dog flowers, old bikes and the astounding number of special seating things for a child who has the smallest ass in the house yet requires at least 6 different immense chairs.
For the non-posters among us, it has been an impenetrable mystery to me and every year has been frustrating because I simply forget what is in the garden (well, more the allotment which is bigger and really is messy). Digital cameras are (I think) fairly easy to use but I have come to the conclusion that being given someone else's old one is a bad mistake - there is always a crucial component missing and hardly ever a manual of use. I am going to buy a new (cheap) one and we can all learn together - that is one of the really good things about this forum. Allowances will be made for non-techies. I think we could all agree to be online at roughly the same time and try to encourage each other through the process. Dont feel bad about not being able to do it - it is not something you can work out intuitively, at least those of us who have not worked with PCs - we need the step by step guidance of someone with patience (probably not me, then) but we owe it to ourselves to make our garden images visible at any time of year, just for our own pleasure....and if we get to share, then that is brilliant. |
