Do you have a flashdrive? Maybe putting it on there will "universalize" it? Or, if you can borrow a Mac-compatible projector and bring your computer, it'll all be the same system so shouldn't be a problem.....

I would love to share some garden travel photos, but I just seem to be Jinxed! I put hours into preparing a presentations and they always have Technical Difficulties. I happened again a few weeks ago with a school district presentation.
Oh, when I was in Ashland, it was their Garden Tour weekend. We got to visit people's (mostly) backyards. Fun.
As you know, I'm more interested in food gardens, though. Visited three community gardens on this trip.

KG Day - Help us choose a date!

Kitchen Garden Day has traditionally been celebrated at the end of August which is a great time for gardens in temperate, northern climates but not a great time for many other gardeners around the world (e.g. August is winter in the southern hemisphere, monsoon season in India, too hot for many gardeners in southern states, etc.).

We're exploring the possibility of changing the date to the spring and would like your input. Please answer our poll here.

Hi Joel Rhubarb is one plant that is best grown from a small portion of a known variety, [a piece of root with a bud] rather than from seed. We have about five degrees of frost right now [which is unusual], but in a week or so when the soil thaws, i…

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again

Forum Policy

Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.

I would be happy to hear any comments you may have.  This is very much a work in progress so plese feel free to ask me to add anything you think is needed.
