Anyone got any tips on growing in pots ?  for instance compost mix, top dressing, resting location, feeding etc etc

Send a pm to Sandy Leven. He is a Forum member, but I'm not sure if he watches the Forum any more? He takes a large number of beautifully grown snowdrops, which he keeps in teracotta pots, to the early bulb day.

What is 'Pat Mason' like?

I have looked for a photo from last year and it seems I didn't take one.  ???

From memory I rather liked 'her' - she was a large chubby nicely shaped thing with green tips.

As soon as she flowers I shall post a pic.

I don't think I have got the hang of compressing these pics so that they fit on one message, but here are David Baker, Rose Lloyd, Rev Hailstone, and a mystery elwesii with close-up. If anyone can suggest a possible identity for the last one I would be v appreciative.

Steve, at between 8/11 kb these are very small pics you are posting, and when clicked they only increase in size marginally. 'Somat up' somewhere?

Steve, I had a quick look at Microsoft Office Picture Manager to see what the settings are there. When you resize, you need to set the pixel width and height to a reasonable size for viewing - eg 300 pixels wide - then use the compression facility to set to compression for web pages (not for emails - that's too compressed).

600 or 700 pixels wide is a good size
