    I dont have a pc or mac, just the iPad. Any other way I, don't use photo bucket.

    Chicken lips Alan, you tried them?? Probably the worst taste ever, and never eaten anything so hard.

    I'm not up on iPads etc, so not really sure - other than email, how would you share a photo with someone else normally? Is there a way to link to photos stored in the 'cloud'?

    al n - chicken lips are a band. I have tried chicken feet, regarded as a delicacy, but visually unattractive ;)
    There is a wealth of difference between taking someone's sage advice and blindly following what someone (reknown as a joker) tells you without batting an eyelid ;)

    Perhaps you should have chosen "Frank Spenser" as your user-name? I can see a resemblance :heehee:

    It's a delightful mature garden with many fine plants. A couple of questions - when were these pictures taken? Everything looks so healthy still. Maybe it was all a nightmare and it never really happened Marthascat. That's a beautiful red Lobelia in picture six. You've been caring for the garden so nicely until now, what made you think it needed feeding?

    That's a lovely garden and well established and importantly not a single sign of any weedkiller (glyphosate) damage so far, I would expect to see something wilting by now; some things do react very quickly to weedkiller, even within hours. Keep your fingers crossed Alfie, if it still looks like that at the weekend you might get off lightly...:dbgrtmb:

    Hello again jenni and fit controller,

    The photo was taken tonight after work. I didn't no it needed feeding, it's my first garden. My brother said it'll benefit from one and to get rid of the weeds use the glypasate. It is a nice garden, my girlfriend loves it. I think she says it's not changed much since she played in it when she was littel

    Fingers crossed it stays that way. We'll see how it looks in a few days then,

    Marthascat, that's a lovely garden and I hate to think you've just destroyed it.

    If you're unsure about believing us or your brother about Glyphosate, check it out for yourself on the internet, that will prove that the members here are telling the truth. :)

    Leave the garden for a few weeks to see exactly what the damage is. Some of the plants may have been tough enough to resist the weedkiller and recover. :)

    I have read the spray and yes, you our right, it does kill everything. How I can tell my girlfriend or my next door though. I don't think I can do to be honest. I feel like crying. I'm only 22 and this is my first house with my girlfriend. My girlfriends nanas old house as well. I need a drink......

    I think your brother should own up to this and tell your girlfriend, it's him that has done the initial damage by talking you into the weedkiller. The sooner she is told the better, there is no point in getting yourself even more upset by hanging on. Get that stiff drink and then tell her.
