I'm not leaving Klahanie, it's just that the page won't open, and after trying several times I give up. It gets on my nerves and I've lost patience with it. I prefer using sites that work properly, but like I said in my previous comment I'll still be looking at GoY when the page decides to open.

Dave told me the 'techies' know about the problems with GoY, but can't say when they'll do something about it.

They are really lovely.

Thats brilliant, thank you so much SBG, first time to try and grow them.

Good to see you Kate. Nothing to worry about, quite a few of us have been taking it easy in the cold weather! But it will be good to get back into the swing of things again 🙂.

Well done for being patient Rose … good to see your lovely spring flowers.

Thanks both. Yes, it’s the first isn’t it Julia … still seems quite early to me. My other one is way behind!

the annual one is the opium poppy, Papaver somnifera.
the perennial one doesn't have such a pretty seed capsule but it is a decent size, Papaver orientalis.

Thanks Shirley for getting back to me.
I hope it does get sorted out this time! When it happened once before quite a long time ago, my son advised me to back them up. I do still have the back up box but can't find the connectors anywhere. I have looked all round the house so am going to take it into Currys to see if they can supply me with the right connector. x

Thank you for your nice comment Shirley.

So sorry to see you go Hywel . I really enjoyed your presence here. I will miss you :-( ......but I can understand.
Best of luck.

Yours has reminded me to look and see if ours has blossomed.Always an early one.

Lovely ... not long now for blossom time!

It is pretty and has such a cute name too!

These are very striking.

Welcome back Kate, lovely photo of you and your nieces.

There are some issues again with the site at the moment, here's hoping they are resolved soon.

Hello Rose, I was unable to log in at all yesterday but today I'm in, hooray!

It's disappointing that the site has problems yet again, early last December there were some which were eventually sorted so let's hope these will be too.

Your Spring flowers are a delight to see, beautiful sunny day here, albeit a bit chilly.

They certainly are Lindak...had to stop for awhile to admire them.

Well, if someone insists on looking a rubbish site that never works properly and is full of problems that's up to them, but I can assure you neither the site or it's creators value your input or your loyalty, otherwise they would get it working smoothly again.
I haven't got any more time to waste on it, although I'll probably still look in sometimes ... if the page decides to open for me :(

Good to see you back Kate. Looking forward to your wonderful pictures.

I was wondering where you were! Lovely photo of you all.
Hope to see you on here soon.

Thank you Stroller.

I still can't get into my messages but most other things are ok. Yes, some days it's a bit slow but it's nice keeping up with people who's gardens you have seen change over the years. Karen's garden in Scotland with it's pod, Klahanie, who I think used to go to Mexico but I could be wrong, old age getting to me maybe. Hywel and all his wonderful fuchsias, Siris and her beautiful irises, I could go on and on, Wylie, Stan, Delonix and loads more with gardens so different to each other. I just think better the devil you know and this devil, GOY, kept me going through lockdown when I couldn't go out for months so I won't desert her yet.

Lovely aren't they Meadowland. We have these tete a tete in the garden.

Yes Klahanie, this is the river down the road, and many different birds are seen there.

Yes, the days are getting longer now. We haven't had much sunshine lately Klahanie, but when it does appear it is beginning to get some warmth to it.

No Klahanie, it's near my son's house in Cardiff.

Lovely scenery Linda

WOW ! Is this close to you?

It did not work for me either yesterday . Today is OK again.
One has to wonder what is going on.

"Patience is a virtue".

Hywel described this site as: "Hopeless, useless, rubbish, irritating, frustrating, neglected and abandoned"....very true, many people left because of that but I am still loving to hear from people who stayed. Most are here since the beginning. Very good gardeners.

Spring is almost here . Happy gardening.

Aw thank you, Julia, that’s very kind. Hopefully back on track now and get posting again 💕.
Looking forward to seeing all your lovely pics xx

There are other garden forums Meadowland, and admittedly they're not exactly like GoY, but at least they work properly, and with some patience you'll get used to them in a while, like I did. I wouldn't leave them now.

Shirley tulip said she's thinking about it ...

I hope you're able to write your blog Rose, I can't be bothered these days, I never know when I'll be able to see the page next.

Lovely to see the spring in bloom Rose.

Rose, they are far better than last year!

So good to see you Kate...missed your input on here.x

Thanks . Will do it now then.

The site is completely useless..I don't think I can carry on ...there is no enjoyment any more.

I don't think it will matter as long as you are careful when removing it from its original pot. I pot stuff on when I have the time and material, seems not to make much difference.

At the moment I don't seem to have a problem but will be doing a blog soon so hoping there isn't a problem!

Wow! I love these Shirley!

Ah yes, that was a really harsh Winter. Good luck with creating the standard Fuchsia.

David, today the sun is shining but it's really cold outside. Hopefully, the temperatures will rise next week.

They do, but I picked up a dozen or so fallen ones yesterday, all blotched with dark spots, grrr!

Thanks ladies ... no frost this morning but it's still so very cold!

I covered 3 newly planted Roses and the Amelanchier tree with fleece as I'm not prepared for Jack Frost to kill them off. Sun is shining brightly now (10.15am) so that's a positive.

Thanks Klahanie, I have seven clumps of them around the garden now. Even though some are hard to see as their heads hang down, I still love them!

Karen, I'm surprised you don't have one or two to be honest ... :o)

Karen, thanks for posting this as it has brought back memories of our visit there many years ago.

Michael is convinced there were many silver Birch trees planted nearby but I can't place where he means!

Last night I waited so long for the page to appear, no success, just a Time Out 504 Bad Gateway message.

This morning at 10.10, I tried to delete a plant or two from my garden page and got the 'Oops, we couldn't find this page' message.

I'm seriously thinking of joining another gardening forum ... it's just become so time wasting now. I messaged Dave re the problem on 1st March, he said he would inform the 'techies' ..... don't hold your breath!

Yes ! It hasn't worked properly for years, and will probably never change.
