Yes spring does seem to have arrived, I have catkins at my front door and lams learning how to eat my hedge! http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i94/walnutcottage/catkins.jpg Just testing how to upload picture, hope it works
If you put in front of your url and [/...img] after it, (do not put the... in though) your pic will come straight up. A voila [img]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i94/walnutcottage/catkins.jpg A rather nice contorted Hazel there.
THANKS - not sure I can get my head round all of that, but will have a go. Its a wonder there are any catkins left its so windy here, hopefully it will dry the wet ground up though.
Actually if you go to Full Reply Form and Click on the word Image and then paste your URL in the box which appears, it does it all for you.
I think this may work, I found the img option on photobucket this is the same image taken about three years ago. we had to pull the old Walnut Tree down as it was rotten (yes the one as in Walnut cottage and hence WAlnut COttage waco) we just filled in the gaps with loads of tree's until shrubs developed - and then the flood got us! Oh and what do you think to the Alliums! I have never been able to grow them since.
We had to leave our 14 year-old corkscrew hazel behind when we moved - the one thing I really missed! :(
OK there is always someone that has to have one bigger and better However on the subject - do you hair cut or not? My husbands cousain that works in a garden centre has this fantastic cork skrew but never trims it and it loosk horrid, just like a common bush. Mine was getting that way and when I visited Perry's near Whitby they told me to cut its hair - ie trim to to show off contortions, so what do you do? PS just cos you can't show me your big alliums (says me who can't grow them any more)
Oh yes Waco...I give it a hair cut.. Like me,a grade two! :D It has gone mad over the last two years and began to spread too much(Hazel tree..not my hair!) so I wait until leaf drop and prune it hard,but do so keeping an eye on it's form. And since then the amount of nuts it bears is amazing!(repeat..the Hazel not...!) .............. roders,camera is Kodak Easy Share C360. 5.0 mp.First ever and bought for me by ,Quote"my wonderful wife" unquote.. :D and featured on here,with pic by our Webmaster!
