Next meeting Not Decided




Nobody had any ideas for July, so I don't know if we are meeting or not. We can always meet here, the gardens are pretty--but there wasn't much interest in that last year--people are busy with other things and on vacay and stuff, so I'm not sure what to do. If anyone has ideas, let's hear them. I want to head to Wavecrest sometime soon, so we can have a PIE day if anyone else wants to go along. Other than that I don't have any ideas. Let me know if anybody gets a brainwave.

Okay folks--lets see your gardens!


Finally I have gotten around to figuring out a way to let everyone share garden photos. Its kind of clumsy, but it will work. It seems I can't create a second album the way I would like to in Picasa--one that will link into the slideshow. I have come up with what I am certain Rob would call a "klugey" workaround (programmer lingo for--"well it works but it stinks"). If you go to the "Handy Links for Dirty Hands" section (lower left--scroll down) you will see a new link there that says "Member Gardens on Parade". If you click on this link it will take you to a new Picasa album.
Here's what you will need to do to get photos up on here. Send me Jpeg files of your photos--please Jpegs. I know that sounds like a broken record, but it makes the process go faster, and therefore more likely to get done in a timely manner. If you want the caption to say something specific, just tell me what. I will at least captionate them with your name, so people will know whose garden it is. My hope is to organize everyone's garden into sort of mini files within the album--we'll see how long it takes me to beat that idea into submission. Anyway--then I can copy some of the pictures into the other album, so some of them will show up in the slideshow.
Hope this idea works--I want this blog to be something fun that everyone can participate in. Just need some photos from you all now.
Hail to the dirt!
