A Big 'Thank You' To GardenWeb!

14 years ago

Just wanted to mention how I & I'm sure ALL of you appreciate the fact GardenWeb allows us to be here every day (most of the time!) lol! I think we sometimes forget WHO makes this site possible for us. I know - I'm getting a little 'mushy' this morning. But - I read an article online last night which had an effect on me. People (myself included) don't realize the 'behind the scenes' it takes to get a site up & running (especially a FREE site.) I guess I've not really given it alot of thought & I've taken for granted what other people do to make this site possible! :) I just wanted to give GardenWeb (and the many people behind the scenes) a huge 'Thank you' for making this site possible! It's very much appreciated!

sibhskylvr, there are lots of place we all go and to know what it takes to make it happen sometimes will scare a person. I would love to have just one site to visit but there are some that feel the need to spread their messages or do their own thing. I appreciated GW as this is where I started cyber gardening and yes it's 'free' due to how they have arranged it! It's like your first love?

Thank You GardenWeb Canners!

Well, nothing like a buzzkill. :( The directions for my 22 qt Mirro say to use 2 1/2 quarts of water for cannning. 3 quarts if your canner is not full. Yesterday I canned a batch of Boston Baked Beans (delicious btw). I had 7 full quarts, but put 3 quarts of water in the canner to be on the safe side. I ran out of water with 20 minutes yet to go in the canning process. Some of the jars then subsequently siphoned off, and of course there were sealing problems there. After reading around, I decided there were only two options- either freeze the beans or re-process. So I emptied the jars into a large pot to bring them back to a simmer and started over, this time using 3 INCHES of water in the canner. I did re-process, but I strongly suspect it was probably not worth the trouble. I have one jar that didn't seal, so we'll be consuming that one later this week and see if we actually have baked beans or baked bean mush. My pot doesn't appear to be warped, but I was really angry with Mirro yesterday and their sub-par directions. I went through the manual again last night, and nowhere does it talk about adding more water for longer processing times. I already had the stove temp down as far as I could get it without having the knocking stop. The extra 2 1/2 hours last night to can those silly beans sure took the wind out of my sails. I hope that's my only hiccup.

Hi swtceleb, The roof and gutters are a metal they call galvalume plus - it is similar to the back of a road sign: The alloy is 45% zinc and 55% aluminum and looks similar to galvanized steel, but the visible crystals are smaller and close together, giving it a smoother appearance. Galvalume has a cousin, Galvalume Plus. The only difference is Plus has a thin, clear acrylic coating. Because Galvalume Plus can be roll-formed dry without vanishing oil, it is very easy to form and install safely. The combination of zinc and aluminum in Galvalume enhances both the positive and negative effects of aluminum. Galvalume has barrier corrosion resistance and heat resistance similar to aluminized material and good bare edge galvanic protection and forming qualities like galvanized material. Consequently, Galvalume and Galvalume Plus will resist rust, the elements and fire while providing a sturdy and protective covering.

I joined the GW back in 2001 I think....looking for Container Gardening and then Cottage Gardens....one day I found my way to the Cooking Forum and have never looked back. I am a very Senior and thought I knew alot about cooking.....was I wrong! From this CF I have learned and learned and put all to use. Just wish I had all those previous years to do again and put all this late knowledge to use. From what you post and say I make a mental picture of you all and even imagine how your kitchens look. It is a mind game. For all the internet negative there is so much more positive and the GW is one of the good. Thank you all for the entertainment and knowledge. Shirl.

I just had to lol @ "cyber gardening", wow sounds kinky! I am glad for this site, it is also where I first started. Even tho there are lots of places to post now on brugs, I need to come here and I think there is a little more freedom of expression here too without offending some people.

I have to agree with you Mike, because if it weren't for Garden Web I would have never had the opportunity to meet you, Jarie, or all my other gardening buddies on here. After all the 3 of us all share the same birthday too. LOL Now everyone will have to look and see when and what day it is and that should explain everything they need to know about us. ( BIG FAT GRIN)

Why didn't you give us the link to the site you were reading about and made you write this email. It probably would have made alot of us think more about this site.

You people gotta love this site so we can stay in touch and feed one anothers addiction to plants and the computer too.

Happy Gardening and getting your fingers dirty,
Marian

I agree. I have found a wonderful second family on here and wouldn't know what to do if I couldn't check on everybody. I am always telling my husband things like oh no such and such is going on with my friend and we need to say a prayer for them. He is getting to know each and every one of you through me, lol. I don't have much of a life since my husband and I work together and live together 24/7 so its nice to have other people to talk to. I love each and every one of you like family.

I guess GardenWeb is like television. You use it all the time but do you know how it works well enough to build one from scratch?

Many thanks to the computer gurus out there in computer land.

I agree. I do complain occasionally about the pop ups but that's certainly a small price to pay for this site.

Mike, you're right on about GW. What a forum for idea/advice exchange. I don't get here as often as I'd like but know it's available 24/7 and appreciate all the fine people here and behind the scenes.
