I did this aswell, but found if you turn the phone they come out upright, i tried it out :)

I wish I could remember where my camera is at aby given time. I hate having to go inside to rummage for it. Whereas I always have my phone to hand, well hanging around my neck actually. I designed a case with a strap to carry my phone in so that my hands are free to garden. Pockets are useless because when I bend over, my phone always falls out!

Hi Susie youre right there our phones are always to hand, and I have only recently had a smart phone so am quite impressed. I remember when I first came on this sight I saw your pic of 'belle etoile' and made a note of your tips about pruning, its my favourite shrub I think :))

Yes my Mock Orange, Belle Etoile is still a favourite. It is so late this year, almost a month in fact. It's so nice when a tip is useful isn't it? I have been given and have always passed it on.

Hiya, yes they are late arent they, some of my plants still look early spring but it has come on alot. 'Belle' is budding up well now so hopefully wont be too long :)

Yes, just a few more days. I didn't really get to appreciate it last year as the weather was so wet. Hope you get to enjoy the fragrance this year. Talking of fragrance, my Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata' was the best it has ever been this year, sometimes the fragrance was overwhelming, but in a nice way. It's right by my front door which is handy :) I grew it from a cutting given by a friend about 15 years ago. It my winter favourite.

Hope you have a good gardening day.
