    Not to be worried though it is the garden that is wild, not me :)

    As a middle aged weekend gardener with a perennially bad back I am glad to be on board as I try to tame the wilderness that surrounds the house - never seem to have enough time to keep on top of it and always it is next year that I am going to succeed. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all and hope to learn lots.

    Hello and welcome:)

    It doesn't matter if its the garden that's wild or you. Its all the same here:)

    Have you get any pics? (of your garden that is, not its wild gardener). We like pics. Helps us to have a good debate about what everyone else should do with their gardens, instead of getting out there and doing our own:)

        Once you have them on your computer, you can simply drag and drop them into the text box area where you type your reply.

        Or, if you prefer, while composing a reply, click the 'Upload a File' button and choose your photo.

        Either way, once the photo is uploaded, you will be prompted to insert it as a thumbnail or a full image. Full image is better.

        You'll need to resize your pic to make the upload nice and fast. I use this free tool for that purpose:

        http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

        Another alternative is to use a third party like PhotoBucket, upload to there, and then use the picture link button (one to the right of the smiley face in the toolbar) to put the link in to it.

        Finally, don't be afraid to try. If you get stuck, or get it wrong, just give us a shout, and we'll help you sort it out.

          I use photobucket if I'm on a normal browser, and when the forum app doesn't work.

          Hello all. Yes, I heard you were a nice crowd from a member called Jazmine who I met on a wildlife forum. The upload file option sounds easy so I will try that. Will go take some photos when the rain goes off again and we shall see ....

          Welcome to Gardeners Corner :sign0016: Oh yes, we know Jasmine :)

          Don't think you'll be able to upload till you've got 10 or so posts.
