Do you use a laptop? Do you file your photos in files in "Pictures"? If you do then look at a photo and on the top there are icons. My first one is a little square with a pencil on the bottom right corner. My second one is an arrow going in a circle around a dot click on that and it will turn your photo the right way up. If you click on the pencil one it will bring up your photo and you will be able to drag the edge in a bit. Then save it. Then when you post it her using the little mountain symbol above it will be the right way up. You don't need a resizer website to do that. But if you use a mac or an iPad I don't know about them.
I can do the same with my Samsung phone. The pencil is under the photo without a square. When I put your photo on my phone gallery it turned the right way up by itself, but you must reduce it using the pencil.
I know Topbird was born in 1957, I was in 1951. I just wondered if there were any others.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
@Busy-Lizzie My daughter has read your comments and now I have written instructions. Fingers crossed for more photos the right way up. Thankyou. Here are my new plants Euonymous Green Pillar.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
@Mrs-B3-Southampton,-Hants I think about a metre but very slow. I have grown them before but from very small plants I just let them grow naturally and didn't shape them. I saw these at a GC earlier in the year it was the first time I had seen them clipped. There are other plain green Euonymous that can be used for hedging and they are faster growing and make bigger plants will post the name if I think of it. Euonymous are prone to scale insect but they will recover. The leaves are not as small as box but I am hoping they will work. One thought is to use them at intervals down the length of the garden but early days.

It sounds exciting, @GardenerSuze to have a new garden to start and much to celebrate! I am looking forward to your progress and I know I will learn much too. Those euonymous have a lovely clear, dark but vibrant green colour. One of my euonymous is flowering now and hoverflies seem to like its flowers. Is your soil type alot different from in your previous garden?
Sorry to witness the demise of the forum. 😥😥😥😡😡😡I am Spartacus
Nice plants Suze. I considered those as part of the replacement for the box caterpillar munched box hedge.
Unfortunately, muntjacs are regular visitors in my garden during the hungry winter months. They seem to love euonymus and pull great chunks off. Doesn't matter so much on the plants I allow to grow naturally but hopeless for anthing being used for topiary or a formal structure. I went for yew instead - they don't like those.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
@clematisdorset I sometimes wonder how I managed to create a garden at my old house. The soil was shallow with a pan of red clay, in parts of the garden it was so thick it was impossible to break through. Certain plants coped well and these I repeated around the garden which worked well. The soil here is also clay but already I have managed to dig down deeply so with some manure to add I do think my plants will be happy.
@Topbird I did see a couple of caterpillars last year on more than one plant. In April I did see them again on one in a pot. I managed to keep them controlled but left them all in the care of the new owner. I don't think I will be trying them again. No muntjacs here the challenge will be to encourage wildlife.

@Simone_in_Wiltshire I am hoping that my digging won't take me quite as far as Australia. Also if I can sort out the upside down photos that might help.
February 2022 was very dry and I dug out a new lawn border in my old garden . New garden projects are no longer seasonal but when weather permits.
Normally August is too dry for digging a new border but at the moment I have stopped because it is too wet! I have added some manure to the small area I have done so a start.
