Elizabeth, I took this from the search bar here on GW, I hope they don't mind. I refer to it often when things won't work for me. pa After you download your first picture you will see 3 lines of html underneath it. If you copy the second line, the TAG line, you can then paste that line into your forum message. Press the preview message on the forum page and you should see exactly what your message with picture will look like. I usually open two internet browsers to do this, one is open to the garden web forums where I want to submit a message and the second one is open to and I have my album open so I can download my new picture and copy the tag line. 1. open free photobucket account 2. download picture and copy TAG line 3. paste the TAG line into the message you want on the forums - and it's easier to do this if you have two browsers open so that you don't have to keep going back and forth from GW to PB, especially if you�re putting in more than one picture. *********************************************************** If you would like to post your photo as a "clickable Thumbnail" ......... Put your photo on Photobucket. WHen it is there, click the little box next to the photoname.jpeg. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the large tab to the bottom right that says Generate HTML and IMG Codes You then have a choice of 4 boxes of code. Copy ALL the code from the first box (Thumbnails for ebay, myspace, etc) to the body of your message that you are posting. Then finish your message and click the preview button. If everything looks good then submit. Entered by caliloo pa

Squirrelypete, I thought your resolution was to email me your misting box plans before fall, lol :) I did not make any new years resolutions for plants. A few years ago I made a permanent decision to try and grow anything that can grow from seed, that I would like to have in my garden, from seed. Anything I do not have success with, or can't grow from cuttings (both hard or too slow) I will buy. This has worked like a charm! GGG

1. Get the garden planning done earlier (I'm starting it now). It usually takes me about a week to get everything in 3 gardens planned, and I've always put it off until everything was finalized - which led to it being done late, and in a hurry. After all that, I always end up making changes anyway... so I might as well just rough out the plans now, and change them later as needed. 2. Enlarge the garden plots on my own property (some tree & stump removal will be necessary). 3. Continue to amend the gardens on my own property, to improve their drainage, fertility, and to gradually raise their level above the surrounding terrain. 4. Use straw bale berms to reduce soil erosion from my rural garden (caused by water flow from an adjacent field across part of my garden). Because of the lay of the land, I'm not sure how much more I can do, since this is on a friend's property, and re-directing the drainage permanently is out of the question. Sure wish I could permanently divert that flooding away from the garden, it has caused a lot of losses in recent years & that is my largest garden (10,000 square feet). 5. WEED, WEED, WEED. One of my cardinal rules for gardening has always been "never let a weed go to seed". However, the last two years, the weeds have gotten out of control due to extended wet periods... especially around my garlic beds. I've never needed to use any weed barrier other than a thick layer of mulch, but this year, I'll probably be using weed barrier in places, to give me a fighting chance. 6. Try minimize the stress level while doing 1-5 . ;-)

Wishing each of you a Happy , Healthy and Prosperous year ahead, with much good gardening too! Caroline
