    I come from a family of photographers but I have never been interested other than admiring, hence my upside down photos on here.[work in progress].
     follow this thread continuously.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Ours have done really well this year too. I have to admit that they are fading now - probably partly due to the fact that we were away for a week, so they were not taken care of.
    Lovely to see yours still doing so well.

    Have to admit @rowlandscastle444 they were sown, grown & cared for by my good lady. I just come along and enjoy the fruits of her labour  :p

    Mr. Fothergills' Calendula 'Daisy Mixed' she tells me.
    Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    Not sure what ours are. Probably something very similar. Whenever I grow seeds, I make allowances for only 50% of the seeds coming up, then only 50% of those surviving being transplanted out.
    Effectively I usually do better than I imagine, so have to find homes for lots of plants. 
    The bees have loved them this year, so I spend time on my knees taking photos. 
    That's where I fail. I'm just too shaky, too often. At least with the digital camera, or mobile phone, I can choose from so many. Far more end up deleted.
