Can somebody post up Sphag peat picture?

Here's a photo of the "bad" kind of peat: peat humus, which you get if you buy the cheapest stuff. It's not worth it. According to the website I referred to above: "Peat Humus is dark brown to black in color and is the most highly decomposed of all of the peats. It is usually derived from Hypnum or reed-sedge peat. The original plant remains are indistinguishable. Whereas Sphagnum, Hypnum and reed-sedge peats are usually greater than 90% organic matter, peat humus may contain significant amounts of mineral soil. The pH level may range from 5.0 to 7.5. Because peat humus has moderately high levels of nitrogen, may have high levels of ammonium nitrogen and may have a high E.C. level, it is not recommended for seedlings or salt-sensitive plants. Peat humus has a C.E.C. of 160 - 200."

I'm 52, and have started that slow downhill slide, haha. Seriously I feel pretty good, but have been plagued with wrist/shoulder injuries the past few years. Every joint in my 2 arms has been injured except for the right elbow. I also broke my left foot about 15 years ago and it has gotten progressively more arthritic in recent years. So I've had to re-evaluate my activities and work more ergonomically and at a more moderate pace. Some things I do - - Yoga 2-3x per week along with short OT/PT exercises almost daily. These are not negotiable if I want to stay very active. - Use hand exercisers periodically while typing and mousing. - Trained myself to sleep with wrists in a neutral position which takes a lot of strain off the carpal tunnel. - Sometimes wrap wrists, hydrate well, stretch before, and sometimes ice after activity. - Wear good supportive boots and usually orthotics! Not there yet, but I'm sure I'll be using a stool, kneeling pad, ergonomic tools, etc. in a few short years. I hope I am still gardening at 83, Calistoga. Very impressive! If there comes a day when I can't garden any more, then check me outta this place so I can go someplace new and garden! Seriously. Sorry to hear about your broken ankle, Gardengal.

I would take them out of those pots for this season.... their roots will try better to find water if your 'stand in' forgets to come do it for you. I also would forget the crystals, just a waste of money IMHO.. if they dry out they take forever to re-hydrate and you really want your roots going deeper to seek moisture anyway, not up to the surface to the crystals for moisture. I agree with trigger, water well the first couple of weeks you plant them and then mulch well, they should do fine if planted in the ground ( out of all pots).

I was shocked to read the cost of *legs* ~ I had no idea! ~ maybe I'll have to go with the steel after all ~ numbers junky ~ we have beautiful cherry cabinets & are just repositioning them so we can expand the kitchen by 2ft. or so & also to add the island ~ anyway, the only 2 cabinets that were left over were the 2 12x36 ~ not too thrilled about that, but as shown on the floor plan we will expand the sides to 24" with 2x4s and then wrap with beadboard ~ mostly for aesthetics as 12" on the sides would look strange ~ yup, I sure agree I love the look of the newest corian too! we've had corian in all bathrooms for years ~ and not even a hint of scratches or anything else ~ I did look at the Zodiac carrera; but the store said it can't be honed ~ and I really wanted it honed, plus it was a lot more money ~ thanks for the responses

If you have "MicroSoft Office" installed, look in the "all programs" menu to see if you can find a utiltiy called "photoed.exe". Run that utility and experiment with it.

Warning: To preserve your orignial file, do not overwrite it. Do this: As soon as you bring a photo file into Photoed, save it under another name using the 'save as' commsnd. Now, you are free to 'mess' with the new-name file without touching the original.

To lighten, increase the gamma.

Experiment with photoed until you become familar with the feature that you wish to use. Photoed is a basic image editor, but is simple to operate and the things it does, it does well. It is missing a number of features found in other editors such as red eye removal and adding a title or text.

I lightened up both pictures and sent them back to Trin. I also tweaked them some to make them better.

Picnik, is a free online photo editing site.
It has lots of fun features.

Here is a link that might be useful: picnik

Download IrfanView or GIMP. Both free image editing programs, both great. IrfanView is probably easier to use to the general novice but GIMP is much closer to Photoshop, thus, it has lots of great tools built in.

I second frostedc's suggestion, and was going to post a link.

I just learned about it recently.

Works with IE and FF.
