I've resized my pictures, I hope. I plant white petunias in the washing machine to look like soap suds.

DARN, I CAN ONLY DO ONE AT A TIME. LOOK FOR MORE MESSAGES!

Looked at your pix on all your posts, love them! You've done some wonderful vignettes and found some great items to do so with. I'd love to "shop", LOL, where you go.
Thank you for sharing all the eye candy with us.

Second try - Containers - Organic Foliar Feeding? And/Or Worm

I thought this was an interesting study on growing tomato transplants with organic compounds and specifically using vermicompost. Some of it might be worth exploring in regular container growing. http://wormpower.net/pdf/Cornell_Organic%20_Transplant_Media_and_Tomato_Performance_2007.pdf The gist of it is plants grown solely with plant based nutrients did not do as well compared with those grown with mix amended with vermicompost AND blood meal. (though alfalfa produced acceptable transplant as well) Vermicompost alone and blood meal alone not effective --best results were with the 2 combined. Scroll down for brief synopsis of results and conclusions. Of course, you would have to be careful not to add too much of any air robbing component as Al points out. Fallofrain, I don't think you would be able to emulate the ideas in the book How to Grow World Record Tomatoes by Charles Wilber but for anyone interested in organic growing in- ground or in containers it is a very entertaining read. He has a set way of doing things and lays it out like a drill sargeant but you can't argue with his results as he held many Guiness World Records. He harvests 100 pounds of tomatoes (from one container/one plant) with his special compost. Available on Amazon.com for $10

Thank you ladies! I don't know why I didn't step back so I could get a pic of all three posts! LOL that was dumb. the biggest hoop has the biggest star.. it barely fits in the hoop. The other two hoops are of slightly different sizes but the stars are the same size. still works, I think! I was thinking of attaching them all together somehow and afixing it to the siding above the garage, permanently! (or hanging from the eaves of garage above the double garage door)

That will look great hung up with flowers in the box. I copied and pasted in "file open' and it opened. If you use photobucket, copy the entire html 'address' and paste into the message and that should work. You can try it in this same thread and see if it shows. If it is not there when you look at the review message, then you have to hit back button and retry the address.

Another great look, love the "bubbles".

To post more than one pic in a msg, instead of using the "Link" as you are, copy the HTML code and go back to your msg, put your cursor where you want the pic to be and then on the very top menu bar of your computer, go to "Edit" and then to "Paste" - the code will appear in your msg - go back to your photopage and repeat copying the HTML codes for more pics and do the same in your msg - "Edit" then "Paste" - when you do the "Preview Message" button, you will see your pics.

I love it.You know I could use that washer. Bought a set of SEARS fancy dance front loaders 2 years ago and have been two weeks trying to get the Service men to fix it.They come out say they need parts and will send someone another day,another guy comes and has NO idea what he is there for and says the same thing need to order a part call them up and No one has oredered the part! In the meantime I waste many days waiting for a service man who does nothing and the laundry well,,,,,I need to go for a walk in the garden.

Love the blue of your washer, and the white flowers are perfect with it. Very pretty. Now I want to see all the rusty goodies on the building too. Luvs
