I am so happy there isn't a restriction on the colour I choose to use. I once joined a forum and was told that Admin is the only one who can use red. Ha. It's been a while since I have been actively on a forum. I don't know if I remember how to post a picture but I am going to try. Where are the gardeners and lovers of nature? I feel I have been fighting with nature for the last 3 months. Planting and weeding constantly.
So here is just one of what I have been dealing with:

View Attachment Good to see you are still gardening, you always did have a green thumb. I can't pull weeds, can't bend down to do it, so they grow happily until hubby does some weed whipping.

Love your color Islandgrl. The flowers are doing well this year. I have a veggie garden and flowers everywhere. I grow mostly all perennials, they are all doing well. I take lots of photos. I downsized my garden this year and had to fence it in. The critters ate all my tomatoes last year. I've only 3 this year, cucumbers, green/red peppers, butternut squash, onion and tons of herbs which I dry and jar up. Spring photo I've a couple herbs in pots on the patio, fennel and globe basil.

Jezz, like you I have lots of gardens. I have lots of perennials. This forum allows only one picture per post. I resize a picture and then I cannot find it. What are you using to resize and how do you get 3 together like in the one with tomato, pepper and cucumber?

What are you using to resize and how do you get 3 together like in the one with tomato, pepper and cucumber? I'm using Resize Crop Share program from Microsoft, free download. www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/resize-crop-share/9nblggh5kk6t?activetab=pivot:overviewtabIt saves your images to a Saved Pictures Folder. I can resize and save multiple images. Then I post the photos from the Saved Pictures folder. I can post up to 4 photos per post The forum limits to up 4 images per post.

Nice, I didn't know peonies could be tree like. Very cool. So did the program work for you? How many pics can you add per post? Here are a couple pics of my peonies this year.

It worked for that one picture. I cannot find it anywhere on my computer to resize more. Have to do some searching. Ok, I found it and resized this one. But first a little about these plants. The tree peonies do not die back as the herbaceous ones. They flower on last years branches. This picture shows some of my favourites. I have another group. Very cold Winters does cause some die backs and therefore loss of flowers. Attachments:

Love your peonies. They are beautiful.
I only have the one white one. I didn't know they flower on last years branches. Good to know.
As for pictures, sounds like you'll need to organize a bit. Download photos into organized photo folders. Mine are labeled flowers by year they were taken. That way I can find the folder or photos more quickly. Before you download a photo, add a new labeled folder under your 'pictures' folder. Then specify where to download the photo to that folder. When finding the photo you want to resize, it'll be easier to find if the photo is in a pre-labeled folder.

What a bounty! Are red peas like beans? I've not ever seen those.

I will do the sorting later. How do you get the pictures next to each other in the post?
