Post your Favorite Rose Picture of 2010
Comments (29)Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 11 at 12:07 Love your shot of Outta the blue!! It looks like an antique rose. Precious Platinum is just bursting with flowers. Love it. I've ordered Mr. Lincoln this year, so I hope it does well and smells great. What do you think of your Mr. Lincoln? ------------------------------------------------------------ Carol, Our Mr Lincoln is own-root and it is still young. We just got it last season as a baby band from Heirlroom. It grew to about 3ft high it's first season from a 8 inch baby Heirloom band. Carol, is your ML grafted???

Comments (44)I started most of my seeds Jan. 4. I transplanted this year on 2/24, two weeks earlier than last year. It's been pretty mild with only one light frost and a lot of 80's/60's days the last week or so. My first fruit is on my first container plant, which I thought was a Bloody Butcher, but since Bloody Butcher is a potato leaf variety, this is a mystery plant. The seeds were given to me so I won't complain and the plant is setting fruit nicely too. Most of my in-ground plants are putting out their first blooms. I'm growing 30 plants(many colors and sizes) this year, 6 of which are at a church garden. I live in the DFW area. Happy growing, Pete...See MorePost Your 2009 Tomato Pics (Part 3)
Comments (36)Ok, here are my newest "baby" pictures, these were planted on April 12, and just sprouted the 16th. Cherokee Chocolate was the first to come up, with an Aker's West Virginia in the back right cell and a Crnkovic Yugoslavian beginning to peep above the starting mix in the back left (it was planted the 13th, from 6 year old seeds, so it is a "go getter"). The one in the cell at the right edge of the picture is a Brandywine. The two in the back left cell of the tray in the back are Julia Childs. This little Julia Child seems to be a bit confused. These peppers were planted a week earlier but also sprouted yesterday. So far Aunt Ginny's Purple, Yellow Brandywine, Shuntukski Giant, and Olena Ukrainian have also sprouted out of the 40+ varieties I have planted. Still waiting for the other cells in the 6 packs to sprout. Now that I have more space in the flat that is on the heat mat, I'll be planting more tomatoes over the next few days and will do some cherry tomatoes last. I was wondering if I had started these too late, but they should all be about 6 weeks when we plant out around Memorial day. BTW, we had 3"+ of snow on Wednesday the 15th. Just a typical late spring last hurrah (I hope) for this area. Bets...See MorePost Your Tomato Pictures, Part 4
Comments (49)This is my first year growing tomatoes, so it's been quite an experience given our unusually cold and wet spring here in Seattle. I planted several plants from seed at the end of March and transplanted them just after Memorial Day. I had to keep them under hoops and plastic for the last month since we've barely reached 70ðF all spring. We're finally getting sunny, warm weather this week. Now my tomato plants have dozens of flowers, and they're finally setting fruit.

14 years agoHi All -
Am new to the forum and am not sure if posting a photo from summer '09s crop of tomatoes is appropo but thought some might like it. Also, our 2010 crop will be planted this weekend and frankly, the tomato pics at this stage would be pretty dull ;-)
We have this salad several times a week during tomato season (May-Oct.) Includes Beef Master, Green Zebra, Lemon Boy, and Champion.
Tomato recipe to follow if anyone's interested ...

14 years agoHere is my garden so far. This is one of the 8 boxes of tomato, pepper and vegetable seeds.

I'll be starting the first of my peppers and tomatoes next weekend.
Catman, no problem on the html code. I used to write web pages back in the dark age when we chisled the html code into our stone note pads then saved and refreshed in Netscape and IE.
Will: You are a cruel man with that salad. I'm already craving tomatoes and that added insult to injury.
EZ: That bed looks good enough to sleep in.

14 years agoHi EZ,
The pic of the box of seed bottles is the only one I took. The gorgeous tomatoes and beautiful salad were mewhee's (Will's).
It took me a bit (I had to go set up a Picasa account since right clicking the image did not give me a workable URL) but I figured out how you can post a picasa image in the body of a post.
First: Copy, paste and print or save these directions. (DON'T make me repeat this!) Um, perhaps I will save it too.
Second: go to your Picasa account, find the picture you want to post and click on it (I can't do it with yours because I am not the account owner so I don't get the option to link to it.)
Next: On the right side of the page where it says "Photo information" there is a blue link that says, amazingly enough, "Link to this Photo" Click that link and you will get some options. Choose a size and then put a check mark in the box that says "Image only (no link)" Then copy the link in the box that says "Embed image." It should look something like this: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SWcqGD81rRU/S6Wb1kkxO7I/AAAAAAAAADE/0MAKt31GeTA/s800/Seed%20Boxes%20001.jpg
Then to put your picture in the body of the post type this where you want the picture:
<img src="URL.jpg">
Then replace the part between the quotation marks with the url you copied from your Picasa account's photo information where it said "Embed image" so that you get something that looks like this:
<img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_SWcqGD81rRU/S6Wb1kkxO7I/AAAAAAAAADE/0MAKt31GeTA/s800/Seed%20Boxes%20001.jpg">;
I used html code in this post that allows you to see the code, normally you would not see it, you'd just see the picture. You can actually copy and paste that code (since the special tags don't show), then substitute the url of the picture you want to show.
Such as this link without the html code that makes the image code tags visible:
I hope that helps.

14 years agoHi all,
I'll get in on this action. I enjoyed the 2009 series a lot and told myself I'd join in if it started up again in 2010.
3/25/10, 12 days after planting:
The lower of two sets of growing trays - mostly tomatoes. I raised the lights up to take the picture, so don't start yelling at me about how they're too far away.
Shown here are: Anna Russian, Better Boy, Big Boy, Big Mama, Bobbie, Brandywine, Cowlick's Brandywine, and OTV Brandywine. All in all we are trying 22 varieties in all this year (assuming they all sprout, that is - still two holdouts).We are definitely looking forward to trying a bunch of new things as well as some old reliables.
Happy Gardening everyone.
- Chris
