What a lovely display ntg!

[nick the grief]

Thanks PC. It looks just as good from the front too

You're quite good at this gardening lark aren't you?

Nice pics, Nick. I agree you have to use all the space. I grow clematis up the poles on the drying green (it's taking off along the ropes so will need to be hard hearted and stop it) and let the honeusuckle climb up anything it likes (it smell fabulous at the moment). Don't think I have any pics but will take some.

The Art of gardening is like being a football referee You let it flow when it's going well & send it off if it's not behaving

But thanks for the compliment anyway.

Hi Nick, have you just got a new camera or something with this rash of lovely pics. you've posted? Love the shed displays, haven't even got room for a shed in my garden, just make do with the 'cubby hole' under the stairs which opens into the ginnel between the houses.

Thanks Nick - pictures are great. Would love to "hide" my shed, but unfortunately it is parked on the drive and my pot plants don't seem to growth high enough.

Thanks for the pic of the everlasting sweet pea. Looks lovely. Have been hunting down some seeds and our local shop has some. Should I get some now and get them in the ground for an early start next year? Or should I start them off now in pots ready to go out next year? Never too sure with this sowing in late summer lark - not something I have ever really done. But think it could get me off quicker next spring.

Hi Jennie,

from memory (very dodgy these days ..... what were we talking about?) I'd sow them around october ish in pots, I normally stick them in the coldframe (you could use your polytunnel just as easily) & see haow they go.

I posted a couple of links on another thread with some places that sell the seeds of different ones (Owl acre sweetpeas do a couple & then on their links page there's is someone else) I can always get you some seeds of my neigbours that won't be a problem.

Hi SueA,

Nope, no new camera just making the effort to take foto's! Some were taken with the old camera & some with the Mobile fone they are both 2Mpixel so the only difference is the lens.

[Shortie]

Aren't mobile phones handy in the garden? I've now always got a camera in my pocket!

Nice photo's by the way ntg

Thanks Nick - I have been on the links and will make sure I have some seeds for planting in October. I planted out my annual sweetpeas yesterday, they had been hardening off, but look very pathetic (only about 3" high) and I can't see them growing well seeing how late it is in the season.

Nick/Shortie, my mobile has a camera in it as well but I bought it as a 'pay as you go' & am too tight to sign up for email facilities so can't put them on my computer.It doesn't seem to have much storage capacity either even though I deleted the pics. it came with, so I just have a photo of the cat, some flowers in the garden & my mum-in-law on it!

SueA, can you not connect your phone to your computer through a USB connection and download them that way? That's how I get mine on the forum. I'm on contract but wouldn't pay to email it to myself either...

If you don't mind me asking, what phone have you got, I'll check out for you if you can get the accesssories to shuffle them over through USB.

I have a Nokia N70... maybe it's just Nokia that provide the connections with the phone as OH has another N series Nokia (can't think which number at the mo) and his came with the gear to...

If you can get your phone to do it at minimal cost, I've personally found it really handy...

[SueA]

I might look into that Shortie, my phone is a Philips & does seem to have a connection next to the one for recharging but I think it's just for a headset & I didn't get any USB cable or anything with it but will check it out. Thanks.
