Still wishing I had a big garden especially when I see pictures like this. One day mate, one day.

Each garden has its successes and failures. You are right about treating them as annuals, that is how i treat the fancy cultivars and sometimes they surprise me by coming back. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-63067921736117679462013-12-13T14:43:26.632-05:002013-12-13T14:43:26.632-05:00Very pretty, especially the nameless, short-lived ...Very pretty, especially the nameless, short-lived one in the pot. I love dianthus but, alas, have had little success with them as a general rule. Maybe I should just look upon them as annuals - that way I won't be disappointed.

As for sorting, I put them in alphabetical order (for example I have a DI file where the dianthus are).rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-25040155076251529442013-12-13T08:55:19.725-05:002013-12-13T08:55:19.725-05:00I can just picture all those pinks around your pla...I can just picture all those pinks around your place on the limestone. We have a few that survive in our scree garden. As for sorting photos, I share the challenge. In the last six months I've gotten so seriously into photography I have thousands of pictures. I'm glad I've invested in Lightroom and I'm starting to find my way around in it. You can tag any one photo under multiple collections, though they all stay in the original files by date. I put mine in files for each month. So for example I can now look at all my photos of ferns over several years with one click of the mouse. Summer (well spring, summer and fall) is the time to take pix; winter is for sorting and writing.The Furry Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485265576983125216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-70341110582862289202013-12-13T07:20:15.522-05:002013-12-13T07:20:15.522-05:00Dianthus are beautiful flowers.

The only sorting I do is to weed out the rubbish ones. Otherwise they are there as a resource. You never can tell which will be relevant to future blog posts.<br />What's sorting, I would not have a clue how to classify them. The natural date order is good enough for me.<br />My favourite dianthus are Doris and Fette's MountRoger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-4246765182311794462013-12-13T02:40:49.905-05:002013-12-13T02:40:49.905-05:00Good morning Alain,

I know how you feel regarding the photo sorting, and I too make myself promises that I will sort them as they are taken. As a result, I now have quite a large number of files titled 'To Be Sorted' in our photo album lol. Maybe one day eh?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.com
