Attaching a picture from Mac: Open Iphoto. Highlight a photo, go to file export and click ok when the message pops up. Then at the Post Reply page click browse. Go to images, find the image that you just exported and click open. And now you see nothing on your screen, but when you post reply you can see a small attachment. If the person who set up the topic did not choose to have an attachment in the reply, I can't post a photo. Now if you are not using a mac, well I'm lost  Attachments:

Wasn't sure where to pose this question - how do I post photos into threads? Clicking on the insert icon image just inserts code into the post, and attachments don't seem to work for me. there's nothing in the online help, and no 'site and computer' category... T I also use photobucket. It's free and fairly easy. |

T host your photos paste the adress of the photo between in the between the two ![]() of the 'insert image' tag. |

Thanks for the advice folks.
Not on a Mac Dumont, so what I'm sure was very useful advice was just igibberish to me. ;D
Thanks johno, and your explanation now makes sense of what to do, Nuts. I knew it would be simple, just didn't know what to do - haven't come across this process on forums before. I tried photobucket a while ago, but i just can't be bothered trying to keep track of two lots of photos and all the uploading and downloading - is there anyway to just upload to a post from my own computer? If not, I'll just have to work on the imagery of my prose, I suppose.

when you are ready to post a photo, right click on it, select "copy image URL", and paste that where the x is here ![]() . |

For uploading directly from your puter, you have to use the "attachment" option that's above the tags(when you post a reply). |

Hello all. I just climbed on board from the big cyber-ocean, baited and hooked by several interesting and informative threads.
I started a very small (0.15 acre) microfarming endeavor in 2011 and am hoping to expand a little and perhaps turn a tiny profit in 2012? My primary market focus is CSA's with farmers markets and other outlets as backups. I'm looking at 500+ types/varieties in 2012 and feeling a bit overwhelmed...

I started a very small (0.15 acre) microfarming endeavor in 2011 and am hoping to expand a little and perhaps turn a tiny profit in 2012? My primary market focus is CSA's with farmers markets and other outlets as backups. I'm looking at 500+ types/varieties in 2012 and feeling a bit overwhelmed... Welcome seamsfaster: That's a very respectable garden. More that 500 varieties? Oh my gosh!!! I grow less than 50 varieties. Whenever anyone asks me what variety a vegetable is, I either say "I don't know", or I say "It's my own variety". I just offer peas, or carrots, or tomatoes, etc... I might offer sweet corn and sugary enhanced sweet corn. However... If I look at it the other way around. In my landrace peas there might be 50 varieties, and there might be 40 varieties in my landrace beans, and there might be hundreds of varieties in my odd-ball tomato landrace, so when all the varieties that contributed to my landraces get added together, 1300 varieties might be represented in my garden. No wonder I don't name them!!! |

Hi, all!
I discovered this board through a link from Joseph's site, lurked for a while, and decided to dive in.
Among many of you, I'm small time; I'm a hobby gardener, not a farmer. As long as I spend less on my garden than I would otherwise spend on equivalent supermarket produce, regardless of how small the margin, I consider it a successful year. Of course I also grow for fresh taste! I grow any particular product for one of 3 reasons. Either it is too expensive at mainstream markets, they don't carry it, or homegrown just plain tastes better. My garden is all in raised beds, one 24'x4' and eight 4'x4's. That's 224 square feet of planted space, with the total area including pathways equalling about 450 square feet. I'll end up adding more eventually. I've reached the stage where I have so many products I want to grow every year I almost always have to leave something off each year due to lack of space. I love growing things, but I have to limit myself to growing what my wife and I can and will eat. But I digress...
I discovered my love for horticulture while teaching high school Biology during one of my past lives. I'm now the garden department supervisor at my local Home Depot, so you'll have to forgive me if I mention them too often. I won't intentionally plug them unless I think they have a product someone would find useful.
When it comes to chemicals I take a practical approach. I've used less fertilizer each year, and am hoping in a few years I'll have developed my soil to the point that I wont need it at all. I use companion planting, garlic spray, BT, and soapy water when possible, but I do still spray insecticide when the situation gets out of control. I only needed it once last year (squash bugs), but I do use it when necessary.
I have the feeling this will soon become both my favorite haunt and my greatest information resource. Looking forward to a great season in 2012. Good luck, all!

Drakkh,
It will be interesting to read your posts and garden experiences. I look at my garden space as if it were expensive greenhouse space and hope to harvest 2 crops per plot plus seeds for the third with some crops. In the Winter the taste of Summer and Fall fruits and vegetables is unmatched and adds to life's pleasures. The fresh is all the more enjoyed while gardening or shared at home. Then there is the excitement of other gardeners and shared experiences and seeds!
Each person has so much to offer in experiences, knowledge and perspectives from around the globe! I was so pleased to find Google Translate to augment my Communication.
I will look forward to your future posts.

Hi Everyone ! I'm a new to Homegrown Goodness. Just joined today February 12, 2012. I'm very much into beans. I have a number of varieties that were originally outcrosses back in the early 80's. They have become stable and bonafide varieites that I named and selected years ago. I will be putting up a website about my bean collection in the autumn of 2012. Right now I've seen two varieties I've seen on Home Grown Goodness that I would love to acquire. They are both pole varieties. Could anyone help me acquire them. They are "San Antonio" and another called Poletschka.

It will be very interesting to learn more of your bean out-crosses in the early 1980's, as well what you may offer through these postings. I will be interested in your posts and hope someone can supply the beans. Do try private messaging those that posted about the beans you are interested in.
with warm welcome
