That picture is too small at only 37K so it's come out tiny and blurry. Try to aim for 700 pixels wide and about 200K in size.

Thanks Bobby.
I took a native flower piccie today. How do I post it here?

Hi Sprint.
First of all you need to resize your pic for say
a maximum of 700 pixels wide and make sure it's smaller than 250K - I think?
Make sure it's saved as a .jpg

You can use Microsoft Paint to do that which is part of: Win7, 10 & 11.
One way to post is to click Browse when you reply and select the picture file.
I use Photoshop as it's more powerful.

Another way is to upload the pic to an image hosting site
such as https://imgbb.com/
and then get the .jpg link for it.

Thanks, I'll get onto it.
may take a few days

I am totally lost.

Now ....THIS is just an example of what typically happens to me when I bury vege scraps. I end up with way too much in the way of whatever it is I've buried. In this case it's tomatoes and I start giving them away in large pots. I need to transplant these into pots and give these to others as I've already planted 20 tomato plants here sigh.

Not a good shot as it's terribly windy but I will come back to this area of my garden AFTER the wind goes away.

This snap captures 3 different plants growing together.

My purple coloured hydrangeas (my fav flowers are hydrangeas and I now have every colour 😎).

If you know your vines then you will be able to differentiate btwn the grape vine and the choko vine. These are growing around the hydrangea.

Note : all the above plants I propagated/planted myself.

I no longer buy plants from Bunnings...not even seedlings 🌱

Once this wind goes away I'll take snaps of my "laboratory" ie where I muck around with transplanting and propagating plants.

Yep! We've been eating home grown tomatoes all November.

It's not my work. It's the wonder of God's workmanship Bobby.

And right now I'm hoping God takes that awful wind away as I've got these little chokos (which I hope don't fly away) 🥺

Bobby I might email you my snaps. Let me do that and then you can post them up. For whatever reason you seem to be the Master of posting up pics lol.

Here's an action plan : I'll take the snaps later on this afternoon when the wind dies down and send them off to you via email.

Note : I'll keep that little lavender coloured shout out note and include it in all the snaps too.

How does that sound Bobby?

OK but do you have your mobile phone set to take only tiny pictures?

Sure you can but maybe it's worthwhile for
you to learn how to resize and post a picture?
It's really very easy.
