Gardening Britain -- Flickr photo sharing group
This follows on the from the earlier thread I started titled '...images
of ordinary uk gardens'. I've gone ahead and started an image sharing group on Flickr with the working title 'Gardening Britain'. It was an accident - I thought I was messing around and working out how the whole group thing worked and before I knew it someone had already signed up as a member (!!!). So I guess I'm committed now - I am a slightly reluctant and nervous administrator. Anyway, the public URL is here (nothing to see yet though).: http://www.flickr.com/groups/britishgardens/ The group guidelines are very much in draft phase so suggestions are welcome. If anyone wants to haul out their digital cameras and participate that would be great. If you have an exisiting yahoo id then you should be able to sign in and create a Flickr account reasonably easily (at www.flickr.com). If not, you have to go through the irritating process of creating an ID - but once done its done. It's very easy and very quick to upload digital pictures to Flickr but people using the free version need to be careful about keeping the filesize small (otherwise you'll very quickly exceed your monthly file upload limit). If you feel unsure about resizing image filesizes to a decently small size then the Flickr Uploadr tool is very useful and can be set to automatically do it for you. I'm happy to help with getting going by email.... or here if people feel it appropriate. Thanks.... I better go off and try learn a bit more about what I'm supposed to know about.... |

I Reckon they're 3-4 weeks behind last year's growth. |

Thanks Derek ... I've just seen the hops. I like the monitoring growth
progress idea. You'll see I've done a similar sequance with my 'garden view picture'. Which UK region/county do you garden in (if you don't mind divulging that info) . I thought I'd keep track of where people are via the tag system so people in the same area can compare their garden's progress with others. I'm trying to keep a visual chronicle of my garden this year because I'm useless and forget what I've done and where and why and what happened. I've also started a blog a month or so ago which will literally be a working diary (too shy to share the url yet but will do so soon). I think blogging must be one of the most perfect tools for electonric logging. Actually, I am a lot more knowledgable about blogging than I am gardening (hence the shyness about my scribblings). I know a fair bit about wordpress etc, so if anyone wants advice with that I'm probably in a better position to help there than I am with plants or gardens. Thanks to you both for contributing. Chris - I'm just off to send you a group invite. Love your Flickr ID by the way. |

We've taken root cuttings this year for a church plant sale - took the week-by-week pictures to help with the marketing. Last year they came through late February and it was a race to get the previous year's growth off before the new lot tangled it in those damp dark days. This year they didn't come through until the hour went on. |
