Beautiful, Orflo! That's a great color on the Solanum ajanhuiri. Is the flesh purple too?

Beautiful pictures as usual, Frank!! The last (nameless) one looks quite like the one in this shot at the bottom centre, received from the same guy who presented me with the green Ulluco - both were bought on a market in Bolivia. I've therefore called it Bolivian Market until its real identity is known.  |

I wish I could someday learn how to post pictures.
I try to attach to the browse and it says this:
Is there some way for dullards like myself to figure this out? I have these thousand of clones of tomatoes and potatoes and outside of my tater-mater blog, I am left unable to reach many folks. My own forum is visited by few because I can't post pictures.

I am afraid I can't help you with computer related stuff, as most of the time if I have any success at it, it is a matter of luck and then I can't remember how I did it. Can you try Photobucket? I can display pics here if I use Photobucket, but I can't get it to work with Picasa. How about linking your blog and forum here so people can find it more easily? Click on your own name and then you can edit your info to include your blog in your signature line, or whatever it is called. Then every time you post here, people can find your blog with no problem.
I just looked to make sure-click on your own name, click on Modify Profile, then you have lots of options. You can add your website url and lots of other info that will show up with each of your posts. You do have lots of important info to share with the world, and your word does need to get out there. Especially important this year with all the disease problems that have been experienced in so many different places. With more people planting their own, you have a huge potential audience. I think in many ways that all of the 'bad' things that have happened in this past year are going to make it possible for great things to happen for plant breeders. You may have been working for years in what I am sure has felt like isolation, but if ever the time was ripe for picking, I think now is that time. Never has it been so easy to reach the whole world, virtually free, with just a few keystrokes.

tater-mater.blogspot.com/has a picture of my cross of multiple species of potatoes including stenotomum and phureja. The big question mark potato shows heavy influence from the Khuchi Akita clone, as it throws this shape far into various pedigrees. The more I cross up the species, the better I find clones that resist heat sprouting, and have better shapes. Tom Wagner

Thanks, Karen.
I notice that my blog and forum are even on the old posts. Nice. Maybe I should post more pictures on my blog. The blog, however, is clumsy as all get out and I don't know how to make it better. Maybe someone in Europe will set down with me and my laptop and help me. I could put together a virtual seed catalog of varieties that no one has.
I have Picassa on my old computer and some kind of windows picture folder and the laptop. I need to coordinate the two or try photobucket. I will Google the term to see what it is.

photobucket is so easy Tom. give it a try and if you like I can walk you through it over the phone if you have problems.

That (Mulln) is a strange one, it has other little potatoes coming out of it- I have never seen that before.
The very best flavored potato I have ever eaten or ever will probably- is the English very early potato called (Arun Pilot) normally one digs them as new potatoes when only half grown, but on this one occasion the farmer planted a whole field of Arun pilots in a naturally manured field with crew yard cattle manure only, later on when the field was readay for the new potatoes to be dug, he fell ill and had to leave them in the ground until late september, by this time the potatoes were huge, some of them weighed several pounds each and up to a foot long, they were absolutely delicious, floury with a strong savoury taste.

I wish I could someday learn how to post pictures. I try to attach to the browse and it says this: Hi Tom, When I'm not gardening or being a school principal, I design web sites, write computer programs and provide computer consulting services to businesses in Ohio and Indiana. That's a fancy way of saying ... I'm a computer nerd. ;D I am sending you a PM with my private email address. If you send me your pictures, I will appropriately resize them for the web, place them on my web server and send you links that you can imbed in your posts to add these images to your forum posts. You will also be able to download the pictures from the same link. You can send me as many as you want, but because of your sending email server's message size constraints, you will probably only be able to put 2 or 3 in one email message. So, you just need to send me multiple email messages to get me all the pictures you need resized. My email account will allow you to send me tons ... you won't fill up my Inbox. It only takes me a couple of minutes to resize a picture and post it on the web server. So, that's the offer. If you'd like the help, I'd love to be a blessing to you. You, certainly, are a blessing to independent plant breeding efforts. I'm not, but maybe I can help those that are. See ya' Steve. |
