    Are you using "full image" option, if you dont you end up with a thumbnail.
    Are you using an image hosting site?

      I was joking last week that since the days are now getting longer, the seed catalogues are about to arrive. Instantly there was a clonk and thump in the hallway, and Chiltern's catalogue dropped on the floor mat. :biggrin:

      And since I was given £10 for seeds as a Christmas present, here we went again.

      The Okahijiki is just for fun, we do eat a lot of oriental-ish stuff so hopefully this will actually be nice. Musk Strawberry sounds awfully lot like the ancient, near wild variety my Grandparents used to grow so I'll give it a shot.

      If I get even a handful of Padron peppers, the pack has paid for itself. They are very, very nice and also very, very pricey in restaurants. :redface:

      Can't wait! :dancy:

        Anyone looking for something to try could have a go at Kiwano.
        I've not grown it for a long time but might be good for anyone who liked cucamelon.:biggrin:

            @Balc I've changed it to a full image for you. :blue thumb:

            you should be able to do it yourself if you go to 'Edit' and then 'More Options'. :)

                @pete I have no problems with photos while I'm on the computer, it's trying to upload photos from my mobile that I have problems. It's no great problem if they upload as attachments rather than full size photos but it would be nice to have the option, as on the computer.

                  Again not a purchase I've made but our daughter & son-in-law gave me a pot of Hyacinths on Christmas Day. I've put them on our living room table as when the flowers open both my wife & I like their perfume. :)

                    They are on the living room table & in just a few days I can already see the difference in their growth!

                    I thought I might take a picture every day to sort of "document" their progress. I don't know how to do time-lapse photography but it is something that has always fascinated me. Which may be one reason why I like to take many photos over time of my plants as that I can watch them developing!

                          My other mature Adenium obessum arrived from Spain and I am very pleased with it. It is now resting to settle from its journey with all the others on the South window ledge in The Baffa.

                              That plant looks very good @Victoria, very tempting...
                              Are we in UK unable to buy from EU or has something been sorted out? I know seed can still come in to UK without phytosanitary for at least another year.
