    One advantage GC has over GW is the number of different categories available to read and make/find threads/posts.

    GW only have about 5 categories which meant if you started a thread it could quickly drop down the list as other threads were stated or had posts made on them, making your thread less visible to others. Of course too many categories can also make it hard for someone to come across your thread, so a nice balance is needed, and I think GC have that about right.

                  I hope you start baking soon @Dovefromabove. We can't expect the kind people on GC to provide for the hundreds of us who have taken refuge here. :)

                        Hi all,
                        Found myself here after I got the email about Gardeners world shutting down.
                        I wasn't a prolific poster, but no doubt I will be asking for various plant IDs in the near future.

                            Click on the button that says Upload a file, go to where your picture is located & choose it. It will appear here afterwards!

                            See?

                            Make sure to choose "insert as full image" when it uploads otherwise you will get a link to a tiny thumbnail that has to open in a new window/tab!
