Hey Bunting,

What does the NS stand for? Nova Scotia?

Anyway, we do have a lot of fun and we are very lucky that we have some very knowledgeable people here.

-- Eklectic, Follow my Bliss, South East Ontario 5a

Hi

Yes NS means Nova Scotia. Birth place of New Scottland. A lot of great history in my area and a great place to visit and to live.

Hi Bunting … WELCOME to GT!!!

We got flurries yesterday morning … and two days ago it was 70 (F) degrees. CRAZY weather here in Michigan. But at least, consistently, it seems to be getting warmer. The sun is shining today, so I’ll take that and “run with it” ...

Look forward to seeing your gardens …

Welcome to GT !!

this video from our other site, LumberJocks.com shows how to embed a picture in a blog.. (the video is for another challenge at LJ.com but the picture stuff is all the same! Hope that helps).

And pictures for projects can be uploaded straight from your computer.

have fun. Looking forward to seeing your gardens.

Thank you Ms DebbieP

Do you mean I don’t need to size them first?? They are not sized straight from my puter

I have most of them in photobucket already sized

Well here goes with posting a pic

This is a small part of the swimming pool I filled in 2 sumemrs ago

I was in an accident Christmas day 2000 so ended up in a wheelchair for 4 1/2 years then 2 years to learn to walk

Since I am now disabiled somewhat and can’t bend over well or get down on the ground my joints now don’t work well and I just bend over to garden for a shot while at a time

I hope this posts

well that is weird. it didn’t post. what am I doing wrong?

-- NS Zone 5B 200 KM East of Halifax cheers Bunting------Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family.

I’ve always prepared mine first but I guess Photobucket will do it for you. You just pick the size as shown in the video.

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

your link has the [img] included in the link so it’s not working but taking that off – voila there’s your picture!

a lovely yard. just my kinda garden—walkways amongst the flowers! Love it.

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

oh my you can see it?

Debbie

I took the img off but it shows my whole album when I view it I don’t want all the album to show all at once

some of it would be boring to you grandkids pic etc

what can you see?

-- NS Zone 5B 200 KM East of Halifax cheers Bunting------Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family.

Ok, got it this time

Problem solved debbie

thanks so much

-- NS Zone 5B 200 KM East of Halifax cheers Bunting------Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family.

I can see the whole album Butterfly!

Welcome to this forum “Butterfly”, nice to see you here as Bunting. It’s there in your photobucket account and link. This forum unlike the other ones you are used to, does not take the [img] tags.

You will have to do it this way !your photo link in this space!. So start with an exclamation and end with an exclamation. How is the safari browser and Mac holding up? Enjoy the forum Carolyn and don’t forget

I am looking for a nice tall pink one to plant in memory of a dear friend who was killed 2 weeks ago

Her fav color in the garden is pink and she had so many beautiful lilies

Does any one have one in mind for me and I need to buy in Canada

thanks

-- NS Zone 5B 200 KM East of Halifax cheers Bunting------Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family.

I think just the pic I post shows now that I took the img off

Some of my album pic would be so boring to you. pickles, family pets etc and this is a gardening forum so I will stick to that

Bunting … beautiful garden photos!!! And your lilies are gorgeous.

There is a Lilium (Lily) called “Black Beauty” that is a beautiful raspberry pink color … but not sure that is the color pink you want.

I am truly, truly sorry to hear the loss of your friend … my heart goes out to you and your friend’s family.

Hi

I didn’t post all day

Sick with shingles. I didn’t sleep well last nite. Now I must catch up on the reading here. I can always learn more about gardening

I always fine one never stops learning something new even though we have been gardeneing for many years

I can learn more and maybe I can help others too

-- NS Zone 5B 200 KM East of Halifax cheers Bunting------Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family.

keep on learning

shingles.. ew.. NASTY

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

Sorry to hear you did not sleep well last night … shingles are so painful. Hope you do begin to feel better soon!
I have found that there are wonderful people here who have an unbelievable amount of gardening knowledge … and they all love to share their wisdom and stories! But with 25 years worth of gardening, I bet you know a thing or two as well … look forward to chatting, picking your brain a bit and seeing your gardens.

Feel better Bunting …

You pick my brain all you want. I am sure I can learn a thing or 2 off the rest of you too

I find it is a topic one can always learn something

Just like I just posted, not sure where but it was in a jokes room

I had new neighbours move in a few year ago

They never gardened before. Even his 35 year old son didn’t know where carrots came from. This family never saw a veggie garden before They weren’t from Nova Scotia

before I knew it , he had 100lbs of potatoes planted and 100 tom plants

I didn’t buy one potaote, cabbage or turnip that winter and neiher did the neighbours. I had enough toms in the freezer to do me a year and I eat a lot of them

They knew nothing about eyes in pot . They had turnips, carrots cabbage everything you could think of

yes they did have a large lot 2 acres. it was my first house when I was young so I knew the property well

They did enjoy themselves and I didn’t dare laff in front of them. They were so proud of themselves and I had to give them a huge E for effort. They did have a beautiful garden that is for sure

The next Spring I found myself teaching veggie gardening lol,lol

Oh it was fun lol,lol

cheers carolyn

Howdy, Bunting, welcome to GT!

NS sounds wonderful! FWIW, I once wore a kilt with the official NS tartan, the blue really popped…

-- Living on the square...Metro Detroit

Hi

You sound interesting Damouches. NS tartan has a lot of very pretty blue. Representing the Atlantic as we are surrounded by it, almost an island

My youngest daughter and her 4 yr old son just had their pic done in the NS tartan

They are very nice pic

NS landscape is very much like Scotland. The rivers, lakes and mountians and so green

So when the Scots came here, they named this place New Scotland meaning Nova Scotia in Gaelic
I live very close by the Atlantic historic town where the new Scots and British arrived by the ship Hector in the 1700’s

Other than natiives, they were the first white people ever landed in this beautiful province.

Many Americaans and Germans come here and buy land and settle. I know they are looking to settle here now

I had thoughts of advertising my place for sale on the web. It’s much too big for me to look after alone any more

may people come here for the hsistoy of their fore fathers

This is a fav winter pic

see the foot prints in the snow

This is at 8 am one morning. A neghibour came to visit for her T as she walks 15 km each am

On her way back home she drops in here

she is 74 and looks 50 I am not kidding. Many 40 year old would love to have her legs. Her young attitude keeps her young

Someone really likes her lilies :) I really like your obelisk.

-- jroot

I love lillies

This is anew double I bought 2 weeks ago

I bought 4 in the past 2 weeks and ordered 2 more today
The lillie proudcer just lives about 7 kms from me

so I phone to see if he has this one or that one then he holds them till I get there

Muscade and Robina he is holding for me now

At his prices I can’t help myself. I am addicted to lillies and have to buy more soil and make another bed. I have over 30 kinds now and counting so about 80 throughout the gardens here and there.

But then there is over 8000 different ones on the market. some I will never buy as some are over $100 just for one and even $150.00 each I have seen. Beautiful but not for me

$3.75 in bloom but when they finish blooming $3.00. The doubles were 2 for $8.00 but no tax

!

Nice shot, especially with the rain on it.

-- jroot

Ooops sorry that was not the double

this one is I might have posted this already somewhere

-- NS Zone 5B 200 KM East of Halifax cheers Bunting------Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family.

I’ve never seen a double lily before. Neat.
