This is the vegetable garden out back. It doesn't look like much yet but everything is planted including 20 tomato plants and brocolli seedlings, for seeds coming up: nasturtium, dill, carrot, sweet corn, cucumber, pole beans, potatos, tomatillos, two kinds of onions, garlic, and jalapeno pepper plants. Several more things to go in yet. Two herb beds out front have Greek oregano, rosemary, sage, chives, pinapple salvia, thyme, and other various things. I am in the process of moving the herbs to plant around the dog rose in the middle bed to make a knot garden and will convert the old herb beds for more vegetables. I have lots of flowers planted in the beds along the fence behind, as well as elsewhere. Thank goodness for free mulch! This is very much still a garden section that is in progress. Blueberries, almond, red buds, dogwood, and peach all planted around the garden. Going to add a bench and rose arbor to the back right behind the center knot garden later. The larger raised beds shown here are 6 feet wide by 30 feet long, double dug deeply and much amended as Georgia red clay isn't much to garden in.

We are suppose to get rain later today into Friday and then the cold temps will be coming back again with snow next week. We are happy to have temps get into the 40's even if it is for a few days. Feels like a heat wave LOL. I see on the weather forecast your area is getting some terrific storms moving in. Hard winter for you as well? Julia

Bernd- If you use windows os you can use Paint. I would make a copy first and resize copy, else you will lose old size and detail. Right click on pic file and select edit - paint should open. Resize option is listed above. If using Picasa you can export a copy to desktop and select parameters for size. You'll have to play a bit to find right settings that get file size to 250k or under - else Photobucket works. Paul

Hope you don't mind if I also do a test with my iPad. Weeeeee, the picture shows in preview! Ah, interesting, it wasn't there when I previewed after adding the last comment and I had to choose file again. Good to know but will I remember the next time I add a photo to a post? Maybe I should post photos everyday to train myself. Edited to correct a typo. This post was edited by hhireno on Sat, Apr 13, 13 at 8:15
