Rhododendron

Have just spent the last three hours trying to find out how to send this and a photo. I joined last night, aged 72 and notice I am registered as a junior and retired!!!!! You have probably guessed I am not much good on computers. My photo is of a Rhododendron which has been in a half barrel for 15 years, Blooms beautifully every year but is now very bare at the bottom. It gets fed with sulphate of iron and sprayed with seaweed extract. If I can send photo you will see what I mean. How can I get it to bush out at the bottom. Sorry can't send photo even though I managed to get it into photobucket

 

Welcome, Larburnum - thought I was about the oldest on here at 63! I think you deserve top marks for getting this far. You'll get the photo thing in time - if you have trouble, Nathan, our ring master, will help you out I'm sure .... won't you Nathan?

Can't actually help with the rhodo but I'm sure somebody will!

 

Hello Larburnum,sorry don't know anything about Rhododendrons but i'm interested in the topic. planted one couple of years back, but it didn't do too well. Another oldie here, i'm 62.

 

Thanks Michaelmass Daisy and Coralbat, so pleased to get your reply's, what a nice friendly site. Forgot to say Rhodo is "Elizabeth". Wish I knew how to send this photo. No doubt I will find out eventually.

 

Hi Laburnum. Another oldie here (71). It took me nearly 3 weeks to find out how to send a pic through photobucket - and now it's easy peasy! Can't get an avatar on yet but I'm still trying. This is a great site and lots of help and information given - about gardening and all sorts.

 

I am still trying ...thanks M.Farley will try again... but loose concentration half way through, and then 'chuck' it lol

Thanks Marley Farley for instructions, I have been at this computer since 6pm trying to get picture on screen,and I am now at the screaming stage so I,m off to bed with a headache.
I will come back tomorrow with a clear head and follow your instructions. Fingers crossed

 

Well, MF and Larburnum, all I do is this:

1 click on the bottom line under the photo in Photobucket (the 'img' line) so it goes blue

2 position the cursor over it, right click and choose 'copy'.

3 Then go to the "Quick Reply" box and either paste or use ctrl+v to place the tag in the box.

4 Add your comments either before or after this tag but don't interfere with the lettering.

5 Check it in the 'preview post' and if ok,

6 'add reply'

Good luck!

 

Hope this workdhttp://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b71/Larburnum/Cannons2003125.jpg
