Question from

Can one add plants not on the current list... ? Hardly any of my plants seem to be featured... e.g... Aethionema grandiflora, Non-cultivar peaches etc.

All of my garden photos seem to be larger than the size allowed on the website (4mb). Have any other members managed to download photos and, if so, how?

Question from
Angie Robertson
When selecting plants from the 'drop down' menu to drag onto my plan - if I accidently allocate the wrong plant it gets saved into the 'my plant' column and I can neither delete it from this list nor it is then not available in the drop down menu when I try to re do.
e.g. if I select and drag a purple leaved shrub over onto my planner and click on 'Phlox' instead of 'Phontia' is automatically is saved in 'My Plant' selection column. As the Phlox would no loger be available to select in the drop down mean.
Has anyone else found this problem and a solution please.
Cheers
Angie

Question from

Hi Nicola
Your new functions are really useful – thanks a lot. Is there a list anywhere of all the recent improvements?
You asked me in another topic for my thoughts on developing the Plant Lists search function. These are the two most useful new features I can think of:
1. It would be so useful for me to have a way to check quickly whether or not I have a particular plant somewhere or other in the garden.
For example, could you add an ‘All plants’ option to the Select a garden drop down menu in the Plants I Have Screen, so that a complete list appeared of all the plants across all my specific gardens (ideally printable!)?
2. I would love to be able to find out which of my 8 gardens a particular plant is in.
At the moment, to answer this question (as far as I know) I have to type the name of the plant into the Search Plants Screen – with the result that a list of all the plants with those search criteria appears. If I then click on the appropriate plant name, the details of that plant appear, with a statement in green in the top right hand corner saying ‘Included in my plant lists’. This is where the problem currently arises because I then have to search each garden’s plant list to find it.
I can think of two possible solutions:
- The statement in the top right hand corner of the Plant Details Screen could state which garden list/s it is in, or
- The details of each plant in the Plants I Have Screen could state which garden/s it is in (in the same way as you already say which group it is in).
I don't know if any of these suggestions is technically practical, but fingers crossed!
All the best
Del

Hi
I would like to use the Advanced Search function to find shrubs and trees that will tolerate exposure to wind, but am not sure how to do it. Help, please.

Question from
Barry Tabor
Some time ago, a member asked how to post new species and varieties to the lists. I have since found the form, thanks to the answer then given. I have thought about it, and although I did not contact the member (How does one do that, by the way?) I suspect that the first place the person looked was under 'contact us'. I may be wrong, but maybe that would be a more logical place for this tab to be placed? This is not a complaint, just an observation.....

Question from
Jivani
I planted three David Austen climbers at the end of May and one of them is in a place where it isn't getting enough sun. I want to move it to a spot where it will be happier. Being a newbie gardener, any suggestions about timing and method would be much appreciated.

Comment from
Gary Laird
Is it possible to use more than one of each plant in the planner as they seem to vanish from the 'associated with' drop down box when they have already been associated with an object....... I'm assuming this means you have to add a plant multiple times to your plants list if you want to use it more than once in your garden plan?
