Hello all, I am Vada in south Mississippi. I live on 1.7 acres of beautiful land, that I am trying to make my paradise. I have 7 overgrown blueberry bushes, 3 fig trees, many very old oak trees (one is very big and very old, like the ones you think of from Forrest Gump), gardenias, Loquats, century, bananas (regular and red dwarf), marigolds, spider plants, gloriosa lilly, verbenia, black magic taro, elephant ears, ginger (several varieties), hosta, hydrania, canna, hostas, a dogwood and a couple magnolia trees, a few more that I have no clue what they are. Whew, I didn't realize I had so much until I started listing them! I hope to get to know everyone here. Have a great day!!!

I took a few pics this morning while I was out watering. I didn't realize how bad a shape my "gardens" had gotten. I guess I need to drag out my gloves and do some weedin' and pruning. Everything seems overgrown now. I have also decided to "remodel" my gardens. I just have to decide HOW I want to do it. I will put a few pics in my yahoo photo album for all to see, here is the link http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cubm0m/album?.dir=/48d3&urlhint=actn,ren%3as,1%3af,0

Vada, be sure to post the pics of the plants you don't know the names of in the mystery section of the forum. They won't remain a mystery for long with this group of people! Dianna

Thanks Dianna, I will be sure to do that. Can someone tell me how I post a picture in here? I am not used to this type of forum, but I am an old hand at Yahoo Groups!

Vada, since you have your pics already downloaded into Yahoo, it should be a simple matter to post them.
Go to your yahoo photos, click to enlarge the pic you want to post, click on properties, and copy (Ctrl c) the url of the photo.
You need to use the full reply/post form. Down below the "answer box" is a list for instant bb code. Click on IMAGE and paste (Ctrl v) the url to the pic in the box. Click ok and that should work.
Dianna
