Birdy - I posted my pics from Photobucket and had no issues at all. How are you posting yours? This wonky picture thing seems to be a big issue!
It is annoying but I am hamming it up a bit with the face.
Before, when my discussion window had not toolbar (I still dont know why this was) I used to copy a photo from my library and then paste it in. That seemed to work until I submitted the messageadjust posted just an icon that nobody could open to look at.
Now I have the toolbar (Alleluia! - I think) I tap the Tree icon, tap Select - Choose Existing (photo from my library, tap Upload, and lastly tap Save.
At that point the photos arrive in my discussion window
either wrongly orientated but right themselves when I tap Submit reply (not often though)
or correctly orientated but when I tap Submit reply they end up on the forum whichever way they decide to, but not usually as seesaw them before I pressed Submit reply.
I haven't tried photo bucket yet.
Although I have tried to make my exasperation entertaining (well, it worked for Wintersong????) I don't wish to change the nature of this forum into a 'Photo Workshop' or 'Birdy's Photo Failures'. So I fear it's back to the GW Website managers or GW customer service.
Incidentally, when I 'disappeared' earlier it was to cut my largish front lawn. I'm so pleased I got up the energy to do it I thought I'd post a photo (No, don't laugh Mrs..... Where are you all going?...)
Birdy, how do you water them? No just kidding. As a non techy all I can say is check they are in an upright format before loading them up to the forum...but I'm sure you have done that already. Very interesting for me to see a well organised veg garden. Thank you
John H and Salino mentioned James Grieve apple earlier. I've got a James Grieve that's been doing well since planting about 4 years ago. Mine has produced fine apples each year except that most of them, when you cut through, have brown flecks throughout the otherwise perfect flesh.
I'm not sure what this is, so I looked through an old Readers' Digest gardening book. The nearest condition I could identify it to was called ''bitterpit"
Is it likely to be "bitterpit"? I'm not convinced because they don't actually taste bitter, but the appearance is offputting.
Does anyone know whether there is any other condition with this description.
Are you going to Gardeners World Live at NEC on 12-16th June? If so you could put a question re this to Anne Swithinbank or Matt Biggs. I've booked and received an email form to put questions to Anne & Matt prior to the event so if you are going too you could submit the question. If you're not I could submit it for you as I'm booked to see Anne & Matt's 'Grow Your Own' presentation on the 12th June. (I'd be interested to learn the answer in case my tree suffers the same way). I'm guessing but it could be the really bad weather we had last year - We had hardly any apples last year as frosts in late April early May killed off the blossom on the Apple and Cherry tree. It also killed of a miniature Peach tree.
Cistus pulverulentus (sunset) - complete with the fleece that (eventually) saved its life. All the above were left unprotected from the terrible winter we had. Once I realised the damage being caused I kept the Cistus under fleece and only after the worst frosts were over did I perform remedial surgery on all three shrubs ( pruning like for a rose).
The cistus's leaves had almost all become brown. I cut off these that were completely 'burnt' by the frost as well as pruning back to outward facing buds. I fed them all with liquid feed.
I was amazed and so gratified when some weeks later I found a lot of the half browned Cistus leaves had recovered their green and started to look normal again. I didn't know that could happen - they looked too far gone. I now think the plant is going to flower as beautifully as it did last year.
Both Hibiscus (Hibisci?) looked so dead I almost scopped them out then I thought of renewing most of the compost, pruning (after the worst frosts) and feeding.
(Obvious really) Now look at them!
(if these pix are wrong way up please pretend you haven't noticed)

Chicky - I'm not sure you've grasped the seriousness of this issue
Wintersong - I can still hear you sniggering...

HH, nope, I can't spot the shed

Also what is the remedy?
Hollie Hock- can see the shed but only just past that wonderful clematis.
John it looks so neat.
Birdy love the pic of the hostas and the bits around it- laptop held upside down but it does have a different quality as it is.
