Hi and welcome to the forum :-) What are you growing in your EBs?

I agree with Chilidawg, using Firefox, I don't notice anything being a problem. I am a paying member if that makes a difference. Firefox is free, less prone to viruses and spyware, and easy to download and intall, here's the link below in case you're interested. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: get firefox!

That's what I like about you Jane, you just put yourself right out there... :-) It doesn't seem like 2 years since you first started posting. I remember how impressed I was with how you just took the bull by the horn and had those trees out and the new shrubs selected and planted in a flash. I wonder if we could get an update? If I remember right, you bought a whole lot of new plants and I wonder how they all worked out. You have me thinking of how long I've been coming to GW forums and it's actually been about 12 years. Long time. You're right, I don't stop and think about how much of my gardening is effected by everyone I meet here on the forums, but I am sure it is a lot. I have two favorite shrubs, Viburnum maresii in the garden, that I wouldn't have selected if someone on the shrub forums hadn't suggested they would work in my shady border and if I hadn't seen a photo that ego45 posted of this huge, gorgeous Viburnum maresii the next week. And I was just thinking of idabean the other day when I was updating my plant inventory, since I have at least 5 of my favorite plants that she shared from her garden at the first swap I ever went to. Lots of other plants in my garden with NE forum names on them too. And Trudi in the Winter Sowing forum added a completely new and exciting element with her winter sowing method that I had never heard of or tried. Claire's bird photos have brightened up the winter. Lot's of nurseries I wouldn't have known about if Sedum37 had not started that thread on Favorite Garden Centers and Nurseries in 2006. I could go on and on. I'm sure we don't stop and appreciate what we receive from each other often enough, so you had a good idea with your post. :-) Really funny story about the shy GW member living in the same town as a friend of yours. I'm sure she was very happy she posted to GW and look how it brightened your day. Hope you will post more, Jane, I enjoy your posts. :-) pm2

Well I think I'll chime in now. For weeks I have been so frustrated with the GW being slow, slow, slow. I have cleaned, defragged and still is slow. I too have a fairly new puter. The other web sites are just fine. I don't spend as much time as would like viewing all new posts because GW is so slow. I get a pop up window on mine about windows internet explorer about blank. It doesn't stay up, but just causes slower GW surfing. Kat
