Comments (1)Moderation in all things? Too much water is not the best, too little is not the best. And, I share your frustration in trying to figure out how to get it "just right". I personally live in a semi-arid climate with clay soil and summer temps often in the upper nineties. My trees get some water from lawn irrigation system. However, I supplement that in the hottest part of the season with soaker hoses around the drip line for a good deep soaking about every three weeks. I'd try that and vary the soaking intervals until I figured out what the trees liked best....See MoreNew thread on Purple Robe Robinia Locust
Comments (15)I have two purple robe and one golden locust that we planted when we moved in ten years ago. While happy with the rapid growth, shade, and blooms of these trees; I am constantly cutting down shoots throughout the yard. It has grown in to the neighbors yard, and he's allowed one to grow to a height of about 10 feet. If I apply an herbicide to the suckers that are growing in my yard, do I risk killing the one in the neighbors yard? Strangely enough, one sucker started growing in a part of the yard that was still open, and I didn't cut it down. It's now dieing on its own !

Comments (11)One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up. Once your picture has been uploaded, find its web address by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. Some sites may even provide your image's address in a text box below the photo for your convenience. Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg To embed the picture into a post, use the command: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"> _____________________________________ If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=600> _____________________________________ Another option is to use a text link which might be beneficial to people on slow connections. To do this, use the command: a href="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">your text goes here/a> _____________________________________ Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (with the correct image web address, of course)....See Morecascadians
