I have found the time of uploading does make a difference. Midday never works for me.

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.

Re-read my posting and realize it sounds rather prudish... A few years ago we were discussing if it was safe or not to post Gooogle satellite pictures of our properties on the Forum. Marshall wanted to show that he could find one's exact location by the information on these photos. In Photobucket I had a map saved, but it had not been posted here, which included the co-ordinates of our home. It was all harmless and in good fun, but made me realize to BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PUT IN PHOTOBUCKET because everyone can see it. I too like Marshall and smilingly think of him whenever a cargo plane flies over on it's way to Travis AFB. Hey... maybe my son will be stationed there too! Barbara

Hi, I'm new on here, But I've been growing Iris for over 12 years I have over 18 Colors. I live in Wyoming and was always taught when splitting them to cut the leaves back to 3 inches, and I'm sorry they stop blooming when they are rhizon bound. You just dig them up in the fall cut em back and replant. If in really bad shape it will take up to 2 years to see blooms again, extra plants can always find a new home. I have a waiting list from my beds. BUT they will all rebloom.

I wanted to check how this tall skinny photo would show up. I noticed that all of the other pictures seemed to be resized to the same width and that the thumbnail or preview was the same size as the photo when clicked on. I liked it better when the thumbnails were small and then you could click on it to get a large photo. Anyway, this photo is one I took this week of a bromeliad in my back yard that I've had for two years, and this is the first time it has bloomed. It has two spikes, but one is much taller and bigger than the other. I had no idea what the flowers would look like, and I was a bit disappointed at first, but now I'm getting used to it, especially since the flowers seem to last quite a long time. The purple parts haven't even opened yet, and it's had spikes for a month now. It's got wicked leaves - like a very sharp saw blade - and so it is difficult to tend, but it seems impervious to pests of any kind. Lars

I'll test around noon and then again later in the day and see what happens. I uploaded those around 8:50am (EDT). I think your an hour behind east coast time zone. As the country wakes up, it could impact traffic on the Houzz site.

Okay, did a test at 2:30pm EDT and pictures loaded but when I click on the Next button it just hung and would not finish. Let it run at least 6 minutes before reloading the page.

I am still impressed that you got all those through in the first post. I have noticed some times are easier than others, but have not gotten more than 3 in the initial post. And really pretty blooms.

Early morning EDT seems to be good. I was surprised too that I could do that many and no issue. Unfortunately, the 2:30pm one not working. I think when Houzz changed in June it added extras for the "business" side so perhaps it is slowing traffic through the servers.

They really are very pretty blooms. Loading has become a chore.
