Allotments 4 All

Now's the time we get that frost that knocks the racemes before they have the chance to go their pastel pink. = Tim

Sorry about the focus - & how do I get them side by side?

Looking good so far.
As for posting the pics side by side, I do it by putting the 'message' on the same line with no spaces between the /img and the next img. Hope that makes sense. Works on shots from Photobucket.

 - yes - great on photobucket but on a4a...?? = tim

That looks beautiful Tim, but what is it???  Only thing that I can thing that I could suggest would be a Garrya.  Never seen one close up so I am not 100% sure.

So right! = Tim

Great pics for this time of year, Tim - but my real motive in this post is to thank Eric for solving the riddle of the side by side pics for me at last!  I can't believe it's so simple - did a wee trial on another thread then deleted of course but IT WORKED! Think the fact that the two pics were fairly small may have helped too - but again THANKS ERIC  :-*

I know how to put pics side by side - just can never get it to work properly  ::)

Nice Garrya Tim.

Its one of Murphy's gardening laws that - just when a plant approached its best, something comes allong to spoil it. its like 'Mother Nature' thinks to herself "Sorry, not this time pal"

Typical

Still don't know how to do it on a4a. = Tim

Tim, how old is your plant? I have two all of a foot high but the one has 7 bunches of flowers where the other has one. It is a beautiful shrub.

Tim.........Well did it............or didnt it????? :D

Mimi - patience, dear, patience! The worst is not over. But they did get their knickers in an awful twist with that gale.

Teresa - 10-15 years?? It's now 15'x15'. Wish I could get a good photograph!! = Tim

I think that IS a good photo Tim.  Beautiful ................ looks like lots and lots of pearl necklaces hanging off a bush. ;D

Thanks Tim, I might make it, taking a good photo is hard,

try this stand with your back to the sun, then take a photo of the bush first thing in the morning another at midday and another in the afternoon.

Then compare all 3 photos, it all depends on the level of light but make sure the sun is at your back so no extra light comes across the lens of the camera.

Some photos I have done with no sun out have turned out better the camera makes up for that give it a go and let us know how you get on.

Well? Well sort of!

For the first time in a decade, we got through the frosts - only to be lacerated by the gales. Yes, we just managed that lovely pink/green stage, but all the 'flowers' were frizzled.
