I went a tad overboard myself this year. I only intended to replace two plums which had left holes in my 10 tree orchard lineup. But we got irrigation water awarded to us last year, and on the assumption that we'd get it again this year, I folded and decided to put in the second line of trees. Plus it'd be nice to get some highway noise reduction started, so I.. well... I went a little bit crazy and... 1 each: Emerald Beauty Plum Bavay's Green Gage Plum Blake's Pride Pear Bosc Pear Comice Pear Ashmead Kernal Apple Anna Apple Cox's Orange Pippin Apple Sunburst Cherry Montmorency Cherry 1) Western Schley Pecan 50)Pecan: Carya-illinoinensis 50)Redbud: Cercis-Canadensis 50)Tulip Tree: Liriodendron tulipifera So far, I have 24 or so in the ground, 63 potted up, and I'm flogging off the balance to any of my clients who also like to garden. Next year, Tupelos and olives!

I can't figure it out either. I've got very detailed photos but can't figure out how to get them to show up that way. I read and followed the instructions for linking but it won't accept an image more than 60k...which is too small to see. It MUST be possible to do it another way because I have checked other images (in the Gallery forum) for size and they were considerably higher resolution - and HUGE onscreen. If anybody can tell me how to do that I'll be happy to post the photos I have.

Good morning, Seems like everyone is busy, busy, busy--or like me and not having much to post about! LOL Punk, I'm glad you got your computer fixed, I know how frustrating that can be! I just messed something up on mine--was trying to organize some pictures of ideas I had saved and ended up losing a bunch of the ones I already had saved. I know they are still on my computer somewhere, just have to find out where I accidently sent them! LOL (Can you tell I'm not computer literate?) Anj, so good to hear from you. Things are so busy at your house--gives me a mental image of one of those little hamsters spinning on that wheel! LOL If you've already hurt your back, how in the world are you going to move boxes and put up the Christmas tree? You better have the kids form a line and pass the boxes from one to the other to get them where they need to be--like a bucket brigade! LOL DIL asked to host Thanksgiving this year so I will just be bringing whatever she assigns to me. She is really into healthy food so other than the turkey, I'm not sure what's on the menu. We always like homemade noodles, so DH asked me to volunteer to bring those--hey, you gotta have some starches, right? Our "traditonal" family meal contained lots of starches--noodles, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, etc. I'm planning on buying a turkey to cook here at home too, like having those good turkey sandwiches and other leftovers the rest of the week! You are right about my posts! Posted pics on Discussions, and my post for here ended up on exchanges. I've got to stop posting when I'm in a hurry so I can pay better attention to what I am doing! LOL I finished two projects at least, now I need to select one of my many waiting patterns and get busy on the next thing. I really enjoy the painting part, but have such a hard time deciding what to paint and what surface to paint it on! Decisions, decisions! LOL We are all truly blessed with so much, but if you read PF's post this morning, you know she is hurting over the problem her GS is having. Let's all keep them in our thoughts and prayers too.

Laura, your dinner sounds delish--had to LOL at your DD. How soon they forget who taught them everything!! Sue, I was thinking of you, too. Glad you weren't alone when the storm came through and extra happy it missed you. Terri, lucky you to be able to see blue skies from your windows. Mine are so dirty!! I thought about making cc cookie dough. I have peanut butter dough in the freezer but my grandson is coming and I'd like to send him home with a bunch of cookies. :-) and turkey, too. OldFixer, you sure accomplished a lot today. Our electric never goes out for long, just long enough to have to reset the clocks. Hate when that happens! You deserve another happy hour round!! Seagrass, sure hope that storm has mellowed before it hits your area. My niece works in Boston and takes the train. Hope she's safe, too.
