"It is getting water from the drip so I know it's not a water problem" I would think that that would be a strong reason to suspect it might be a water problem. If the soil is staying too wet, the tree will suffer or die. "I do not know how to attatch a picture" 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 image location address (URL) by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. The URL will look something like: http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg. Some sites may even provide the appropriate HTML code in a text box below the photo for your convenience. It will be the one that begins with a href=... (This code looks different than the code below, because it will actually produce a picture link instead of just a picture.) 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).

I love ballerina indian hawthorne-good choice! The boxwood beauty natal plum is very hardy and a similar size to the ballerina hawthorne. You could stagger them and that would look beautiful. I often use boxwood beauties in this way. Be careful to buy the variety that stays small and has little to no thorns (do not get the tuttle). It may get a little frost damage on the tips if we get really cold but you just wait until we are out of danger and trim it off. Good luck! Deana M. Chiavola Bella Fiore Landscape Design

Need help, college dorm room decorating!
Q
Comments (4)
Hey! Dorm rooms are tough - you want it to feel like home, but you cant fit a lot and you don't want to buy anything NICE because it needs to be mobile later on. I went to Ole Miss where the girls (feel free to google "Ole Miss Dorm's" - it'll blow your mind) go ALL OUT (like the pic below) to make their dorms perfect. I was not like that and to be honest it sounds like my style is a bit more like yours. I have a few ideas that I hope can help! First: heres a link from Society6 talking about (ironically enough) Ole Miss dorm room styling suggestions: https://www.society19.com/20-amazing-ole-miss-dorm-rooms-major-dorm-decor-inspiration/ Still not my style, but it has a lot of good ideas that I didn't think of! Storage is always an issue which can make your room feel cluttered. A lot of people like to loft their beds and put those "cubes" underneath with stuff in the cubbies and cover the under part of their bed with a long bedskirt. You don't want to clutter your room, but i'm all about STUFF that can make it more cozy! A lot of people got/made "headboards" (i.e. usually just a normal twin headboard on stilts they leaned against the wall behind their beds). I think the sticky-removable wallpaper is a little too high maintenance for a dorm, but I love tapestries! Houzz has a bunch, so does Society6 and Urban Outfitters. I suggest a printed bedding and lots and lots of throw pillows to shove in the corners of your bed. Kind of makes it like a couch and adds some texture and color! I love photos/anything personal. If you have any artwork/local things from home/where you are from - decorate your shelves above your bed with them/frame them. Doing anything vertical is key. Where you're "shelves" are in your room next to the cabinet and your bed - you could get a floor to ceiling bookshelf/cubbies/drawers to put things in instead. You can find fun/funkier window curtains by using a shower curtain holder (i.e. fits in-between the walls to hold up curtains of your choice. I also love macrame hanging plant holders (even if you use fake plants) you can find attachments to hang them from the ceiling. Maybe a fun/patterned rug for your floor as well! I hope this helps and good luck!!

College students, Interns and "paying to work"
Q
Comments (9)
My daughter did one between jr and sr years of college (summer of 2018) -- 8 weeks in Sydney, AU. Of course she loved it! We paid about $10k for the program through one of those out of country placement firms. The cost included housing (with 3 roommates), visa and finding the position; I think the flights were on top of that. (I'm a widow doing this on my own, so money-wise I was leery at first but then SO glad she did it!) The job she got was unpaid but still awesome, working for a startup where her ideas were listened to and implemented. It was such a great experience for her. Incidentally when she was furloughed from her first out of college job last summer due to the pandemic, she was able to find a new, better job that was more interested in what she did during the internship than what she did at her first paid job out of college. My son is now a senior in college, and sadly COVID derailed his offer of an internship in Amsterdam last summer. I told him he should go whenever he can, even if it's unpaid and he's already graduated. When else will they get a chance to go somewhere abroad for so long, and get a great resume item in their field? (Plus of course I want to visit :) ) ETA - I think the program my daughter used was outside of/not affiliated with her university, and I know the one my son was hoping to use (which still has my deposit) is outside of his university.

This is exactly i missed writing down and i came back to the system...Let us see...There is nothing like cottege gardens wilbard gardens or anysuch things practised by indians folks.all i wrote down is about a layman's garden.If it is for your class and about world's typical gardens...I know the history of gardenning talks about Moghul or purtian gardensAnd latin or greek gardens,Asian or oriental gardens.the rest are new world gardens developed..What is your project about?Asian gardens or Indian gardens?.I failed to add that Every Indian household,rented or own..never failed to grow a gourd plant and bean plant at least once in their life time.If you really want deep roots of Indian Favourite plants..Observe the temple yard trees.I would say laymans garden started imitating templs and there followed the kitchen gardens (Herbs,vegetables and fruits).Rich man;s gardens in India always mimicked purtian gardens.Grapes Pomogranates,Other citrus fruits,fragrant plants,like Tuberose,NightqueenEtc.Mediterranian and arbour gardens were groomed for tourist interests.Rich families always entertained guests under grape vine or rose wine arbours of course bouganvillias (Wrong spelling)replaced them later.This story is getting long let us not bore the other members.

Styles of home gardenning in the world! Dip you check Canadian gardens,English gardens,Midwest gardens, Southern gardens,North west gardens etc?.Cottage gardens ,hummingbird gardens,Butterfly gardens,raingardens,orientalgardens mediterranian gardens,rock gardens,alpinegardens,watergardens,Topiarygardens all these -may give you some info you can add.May be little history and developement thru medival and regency periods and modern gardens...followed by present day gardens..If you could link up ..the timely changes in connection with horticultural research it would be good.Scientists keep introducing new varieties and people are willing to cultivate them in their yards.that makes the changing trends of home gardenning..Here in U.S People say they like to see the changed styles of garden insted of experiencing monotony.
