Photos and Signatures?

That is a matter of opinion Ann.
Can you add photos and signatures to your posts on this new forum?
If so how, if not why not. Or is this the progress and change for the good that I hear so much about.

This all may be changing

Give it a week or so to see what's in store.
That's all I know...

What's in store

Dear wise YB the shelves in the store still look a little bare.
How about those pictures?

I see them now YB!

Some of the other newest changes are nice too!

The blue lettering on the thread titles is easier for me to read, and the bigger blocks for the posts is less cluttered,,,but I can't find the link to get back to the main page of the forum.

SIGH!

You're right Larry, we need a link back to the list of threads for each individual forum ... only the Chat Forum has it so far.

After posting a comment, I had to use the Browser's Back Button 3 times!!

BUT then I clicked on "To Top", and on the yellow Navigation topics on the left, I clicked on "Gardening Forum".

Not Per User, Per Forum

You're right Katrina, Chat and Garden forums has it, but the others didn't ... now, they are all the same. YB talked to the Web Admin and got it fixed.

I mean really, for people who garden in rows, uniformity in our forums is not an unusual request! ;-D

gardening

I am new to this so I am not sure if I am searching in the right place. I no longer have a garden, but I have two dwarf peach trees that are loaded this year. How can I tell when the peaches are ready to pick? Some are already dropping to the ground. Is this a good indication? Thanks for your help.

Asparagus

I have started my asparagus from seed. They are about 10" tall in pots. I am going to put them in my garden soon. I live in south central Tx, should I wait for cooler temps to plant?

asparagus plants

I live in S. Texas. I planted my asparagus last year in july. they are doing great. I think you can plant them any time as long as you keep the soil moist - not wet - they will do fine.

Roses and Mock Orange losing odor

I have Rio Samba roses and a Mock Orange which seem to have lost their delicious smells. They grow quite well and have wonderful blooms, but the odor is very weak. What do I need to do to get them to smell again?

Apricot Tree

I have been given an apricot tree and was wondering if anyone knows the light and proper care it needs before I plant it in the wrong place in my yard. I live in zone 9 and am excited about planting my 3 acres of garden little by little and want to do it right the first time around. Fruit trees is my main focus.
