          Thanks to all who have posted to this thread so far... and thanks to @wiseowl for making it a "sticky thread".

                  @Papi Jo would it be a problem if I posted images from my previous garden. There's very little growing in my current garden and nothing in flower apart from primroses at the moment.

                    @Sheal Images posted here are expected to be "fresh" and related to the current season. However I see no objection to your posting images from your previous garden, pending new flowering in your current garden!

                      Thank you Papi Jo. I'll respect your requirements and won't spoil your thread by using old images. :)

                            Two points from me - firstly @Sheal, as you know, we don't have threads that 'belong' to anyone on GC. The whole point of a forum is that everyone can contribute and is welcome to do so.

                            Secondly, just so you are aware @Papi Jo, if we are to have a thread that has "requirements" can you please, in future, run this past the Admin team. With anything like this, we discuss any request as a team before deciding if it is for the good of the forum.

                              I think that's only fair @Fat Controller . We did have that problem on the other forum where people assumed that starting a thread meant they could make certain 'demands' on posters.
                              There was a thread for moaning on, and I stopped posting on it because of that. The threads didn't belong to the person starting them, but some people decided that was the case.
                              I'm glad to see that doesn't happen here :smile:

                                Not very sharp I'm afraid, plus it's a bit wind swept - Nectarine 'Fantasia' blossom.
