The 15th should be fine. I haven't been to the allotment all week thanks to the weather, but I'll sort the peas out long before then.

Brilliant

It was me  :wave:
I'm still having problems viewing the uploaded pictures file, about half are just blurry and won't load? I hope you don't mind Goodlife, I copied your picture to my puter and made the file size a bit smaller and then uploaded it again, seemed to work. I've been adding mine straight from flicker as most of them were already there. I haven't found one of Green Zebra yet though!

 :wave: Hi Ruud, good to hear from you. They are usually fairly quick coming from you, around a week perhaps. There was that parcel in Jeannine's swap you posted back to me that got opened by customs before they sent it on and that did take a while!

Exciting stuff, best get packing my seeds ready too  :blob7:

Don't worry,  It is a 2-step process.  First upload the picture to the website, then go to the place in the text where the picture is to go and upload add the picture into the text.  Last step (if the picture is too big) is to click on the picture and a task bar comes up and you select size M (medium) from the task bar.  Then 'save' all your work and you are done.




Have uploaded another photo and this is how it works.  When the large photo appears, go to the bottom left corner of the photo with the scroll bars, then click into photo and you will see the task bar, which gives you the option for S M L photos.  If you are looking at other places in a large photo, that task bar is there, but hidden from view.

By the way, when the photo is clicked, although it is very large, it still has 'handles'  ie dots in the corners, which you can click and drag to make the picture smaller in the same way as you make any other picture smaller.  For example, drag the top right dot towards bottom left direction will make the picture smaller.  This is what I used to do before I discovered the task bar.
Hope this helps.

Jayb ,sorry for delay, the wilkos seed packets are the very small brown envelope the dinner money size ones with writing on ie seed type, date etc can not remember the price but they were a lot cheaper than any others I've seen.

Thanks goodlife , I like them because they are not too 'life styleee'  . Have you seen the packets that the chap from     Higgledygarden.com produces, and such a lovely site, enter at your peril!!

I bought mine on the internet they were a lot cheaper as they were school dinner money packets. Ok for intended use but not very good for the seeds so had to sellotape as well.

Yes the Sellotape is an issue , there is someone here who does origami packets  that really work, the only other packets I might look into are those you use for diamonds and precious stones.
