I grew tomatoes outside the first year I was here and made great green-tomato chutney!clairesgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717145894222550969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-1141674244080094762006-03-06T19:44:00.000+00:002006-03-06T19:44:00.000+00:00i have dreams of growing holly. it's only seen as...i have dreams of growing holly. it's only seen as a pot plant here, indoors. i think your greenhouse in winter is warmer than mine through much of spring and fall. i wouldn't try to grow tomatoes at all without it. many folk 'round here do grow them w/o a greenhouse, but it's a triumph to get a few ripe ones before the frost gets them, and you're left with only a meagre basket of green ones to ripen on the windowsill.grannyfiddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012742192926851666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-1141670967490316282006-03-06T18:49:00.000+00:002006-03-06T18:49:00.000+00:00Norene, the camera has a lot of buttons!

I tend to go around with the instruction manual in my pocket so I can refer to it, but the extra media definatley helps as I can take more photgraphs and play around, just remember I am not posting the 500 or so which were rubbish!! ha, last weekend especially there were several of my feet!! not even in focus!<BR/>Dragonfly, I have(I think) this photographed pink one, a really dark one which hasn't flowered as I moved it last year, a slightly less dark one which is in flower, the 'common' green one which is about to flower, a lividus which has pinky/browny/greeny flowers and is about to flower and a corsicus which arrived as a cutting last year and I have no idea what colour it is or when it flowers. I should take a series of photos and post them when I have the complete set!clairesgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717145894222550969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-1141625225306411782006-03-06T06:07:00.000+00:002006-03-06T06:07:00.000+00:00beautiful photos. you're really getting the hang ...beautiful photos. you're really getting the hang of your camera. i have yet to use mine as anything but a point and shoot.Norene Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784412780553006924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-1141599076784858752006-03-05T22:51:00.000+00:002006-03-05T22:51:00.000+00:00Oooooh Hellebores are one of my favorites.

I think I rested the camera body on my wrist to take the hellebore photo, the end of the lens was probably about an inch away from it and seems a wee bit too close for the focus. Not so happy about the focus on the frost either, it kept trying to focus through the glass, more practice needed!clairesgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717145894222550969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-1141501157076579632006-03-04T19:39:00.000+00:002006-03-04T19:39:00.000+00:00Beautiful photos and it looks like you and the new...Beautiful photos and it looks like you and the new camera are getting along just fine.<BR/><BR/>How did you manage to hold that flower and take the picture on super macro at the same time?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306857757487429447noreply@blogger.com
