Hello everyone.
I have just registered on this great site. The name is Kate and I live in North Devon. I spend a kot of time in the garden and enjoy growing shrubs and 'bargain' plants. My best bargain was an Hibiscus that I bought at a car boot sale for 10p. It's beautiful! If I knew how to upload photos I coul put one on here.
Look forward to chatting to new gardener friends.

 

Hello and welcome bobjokat.

 

Welcome bobjokat from North Devon, you and rosa could be twins.

yes we certainly could be, hi and welcome bobjokat,
That makes two of us as i havnt a clue how to get pics on to this site,members have got instuctions on how to do it, i just cant make head nor tail of it, I had a friend in and asked iff he could do it, he did not know either, I can send photos from my pictures but that is about it.
Enjoy gardeners corner i am sure you will from rosa. Look same picture it took me weeks to fathom out how to put that on Ha! Ha! :rolleyes:

 

welcome to Bobjocat I still can't do the photos :rolleyes: I have to ask hubby to help :confused:

 

All you have to do to upoad your pictures is...register at the photo bucket site..then that automatically links in with your pc...then you click on browse and you will see your pictures press select when you have chosen one...then submit..then press edit and resize it to 50% all you have to do to do that is press submit again..then copy the image line..with the left click on the mouse come back to here and right click in the message box and the image will appear when you press add reply..I was scared to turn the computer on when i first got it and i have taught myself..its really easy to upload photos if you struggle with what i have told you to do then message me and i will try to help you..

 

Hi Bobjokat and welcome - I'm new here too and from Exeter and also retired! Maybe we can swap notes on here? Good luck with your gardening, nice to meet you.

 

Welcome to all new members, hope you enjoy the site.

 

Hi,thanks for the welcome messages and help re photos, although I'm still at a loss to understand - sounds too technical for me!
It's great in this part of the world 'cos so much overwinters here in Devon that won't anywhere else - have you found that Angelica?
Looking forward to swapping notes and ideas with others.
I have posted a note on the Tools and equipment page re a spring loaded Wolf spade that I am hoping someone can help with. If you've got any ideas I'd love to hear from you. Got this wonderful new toy and now can't use it.

 

Hi bobjokat..I have posted a pic of one in your post..hope it's the one

 

Brilliant, thanks Paladin, it is the one. I have followed up with a message on the posting.

 

Hi Bobjokat - yes its mostly very mild in this part of the country, I agree we are so lucky. Thats another thing I have in common with you, I love toys, for the garden, computer, car or kitchen!
My best ever garden toy (to date is a gas weed killer wand, its great for the weeds growing between the patio flags and around pathways.
I'm off to look at your post re the Wolf spade now!
