I'm new to this forum. How do I upload more than one photo at a time? Also, is it possible to post the photo along with my message, instead of having a link? THANKS!!

One way. Go to photobucket.com and open a free account. Upload the pictures you want to post to that account. When you hover your cursor over one of your pictures on photobucket you will see a drop down menu which includes some lines of code. Click on the 'html code' and it will be copied. Now paste that code in your gardenweb post where you want the picture to be. When you preview your post the picture or pictures will show up.

I don't think I've ever seen Adeniums at HD. They probably would not know how to care for them

I'm sure it's nice then, and I plan to go back in other seasons. I've wanted to go since 2013, but that year my brother was ill and passed, and last year I was not well and wound up with two surgeries, one last October and one this past April, but I FINALLY made it there! I will try to post some photos when I organize them.

Trying Art Oil Painting For First Time Ever

I have never been able to afford to take any classes in art painting. So I've had to teach myself. I started out probably 20 plus years ago with some books put out by Leisure Arts. I have no idea if these books, or any like them, are still available or not. But you might check out Hobby Lobby or Michaels if you have one near you. I haven't picked up a brush in a number of years because somehow or another, life got in the way. But the desire has struck again. I've gotten really interested in Bob Ross's method, it looks like it's really fast and easy, and fun. And at this stage in my life I just want to enjoy the process, not try to make any profound statements. So you might want to Google "Bob Ross Painting" to take a look. Michaels here has a number of his books, also most of the supplies he recommends. Hobby Lobby might carry them, too. Also, check out Ebay for his books, I got a couple of the older ones quite reasonable there. It's been quite awhile since you posted your request, I hope you have been busy learning to paint. Please come back and let us know how you are doing! Good luck! Rusty

First time ever growing cherry tomatoes, help please!

That's a fair point. In Montreal, your growing season is pretty much May-September. We're at the end of May, and you're not even sure you have seedlings. So you've used up about a quarter of your growing season looking for seedlings. Unless you're wedded to these particular plants, buying larger plants at this time might be smart. No, tomatoes don't take a long time to grow as seedlings, as long as they're kept warm (70-75F), and they get plenty of light. But even then, it'll be several weeks before you're ready to plant out.

OMG Nonni I am so jealous! I have never seen a Painted Bunting IRL. They are
little flying rainbows.
Great photo! :)

Good for you nonni!! Congratulations, and welcome to the forum! I have a friend who lives in Florida and hosts them every winter. They love white millet. She goes to her local WBU store and purchases bags of white millet just for them! You might check out the link below for lots of Painted Bunting info and pics.~~Angie
