Where are all the gardeners?

Not sure if anybody is interested, but if you are, you could add your name (and photo, if you like) to the Cornucopia map.

You all look wonderful.
Somehow I pictured Adam as being somewhat older :-)

Nah - I reckon he's in a time warp......
The only problem I had was that it wouldn't let me put in my real location - so I had to put Burnie. For the record Burnie is not a nice place like Fossil Bluff....

From what y'all have been through and will go through with Ivan, I think the most important thing is TRANQUILIZERS. You can always replant and clean up but you can't always get yourself together enough to do it. Hurricanes are traumatic and three in a row just kills the human spirit. God bless.

I planted scarlet runner bean on my deck in several big pots. I get one or two hummingbirds all day long, from early morning to twilight. I harvest the beans for my dogs, who love them. I also have bees all day long, all kinds, (honey bees too) and bumble bees that are fat and velvety. I haven't seen bumble bees like that since I was a kid. I think the birds like the baby beans too. I had a cardinal yesterday that looked like he was on steroids, so fat and red. All this from a little humble bean with pretty red flowers. It's not too late to start some now. Plant it near a window, it's fascinating to watch the activity. Good luck. The bees need all the support we can give them.

Dr.Nuke - I don't have the knowledge of trees that some folks here on the GW do, but of the 3 you have listed - I have all 3 in my yard and my preference would be the Black Gum #1, Catalpa #2, and the Maple #3 - but wouldn't want to be without any of them. I have a very old Catalpa in my yard, and some younger ones in the field joining my yard - was fortunate to locate a seedling that I'm going to relocate to my yard since the old tree is starting to decline. Plus, I'm hoping to order another Black Gum since I can't seem to find them locally. I have one I bought at Kmart about 4 years ago and I REALLY like it. I'm still on the fence about planting the Wax Myrtle due to the hardiness issues discussed on the other post - but am strongly considering 'devilwood' Osmanthus Americana. Probably won't be planting a veggie garden this year due to physical constraints, but am thankful for a neighbor who has a great garden! And, I'm trying to downsize my perennial beds and focus more on shrubs and trees as they seem to be easier for me physically. Frances

Same as Me, Cozz. I had to put in Sydney instead of Armidale. It knew where I was , But couldn't position me on the map. Oh Well, I'm 540 kms North of Sydney, on top of a mountain range which goes down as far as tassie.

Had a look at the map and there are only five people on it Spatz and you are not one of them. So, where are all the gardeners? Including you.

I bet the reason is the map is very restricted on lacation and most of us object being put down as being soewhere that is administratively convenient. If they can't get it right they should not go for half measures.

Bit of fun I reckon. I've put one up for my cosmic mob - /panplanet instead of cornocopia after the / using a world map.

One of the defaults for the maps is that you can zoom to different view - the administrator does this - so it might be worth playing around with that to get a bit more detial, maybe the zoom is too wide. It's just a Beta version an seems to be tied into Google Earth which is magic!

Well, I put a real photo this time. The other one was of a poor child off the internet who actually looked like that.
I'd liked to have put a photo of my recent garden, and may in fact.
It's really fun being naughty, and I recommend it to everyone.

I'm there, Snoopy. :)

Yeah, just a bit of fun. That's all.

(I did realise that it might help to use the GardenWeb ID when putting yourself on the map.)

I just added myself too tho I had to put Perth instead of Donnybrook (which is 200km south of Perth) they didn't even have Bunbury, oh well, maybe later. Its nice to put faces to names.

It finally allowed me to join Spatz.
I've just realised that I'm wearing the same shirt today as I am in the photo, but my hair's a different colour!

I THINK I just added myself (sans photo) and they DID have Mudgee!
Must only be the really important centres that rate a mention...

We're a friendless bunch, I don't have any friends either, apparently. I wonder who else is brave enough to put their mug on the map LOL.

You talked me into it after reading this string. I eventually got there, photo included, but it rejected the major town near where I live - not big enough to be on the map, so my tiny village had no hope. I'm listed under Townsville, but really nearer to Ingham if 30kms can be considered near.

Will put my details on here when i get my digital camera for Christmas.

Thanks Spatz, this was a great idea!

Hi Mabb, I don't get the popup so I was wondering which browser you are using. I am using firefox, there's no way near as many popups and you can get rid of some advertising though not all. Glad to see you joined us friendless lot. LOL Cheers, Jules
