So glad you liked the pumpkin pics. Peter picked his giant pumpkin and has it safely stashed away in the garage awaiting Halloween. There are some new ones coming in that might rival it in size and color but not in height. that one grew up and out.
Well thank you for asking.
DHs recipe for soil is our secret. I call it pure gold. He makes up a special combination of ingredients for each plant. I only know the flower end of it. DH is the veggie guy.
Some example: melons get more sand and tomatoes get more manure. Roses like it fluffy and rich with a think layer of mulch up to the crown.

Hmmm...do you ever call him the Colonel?
Sounds a little bit like those 11 secret herbs and spices!!
Really, whatever it is that he does, it certainly works! He could make a fortune with his secret recipe.
Your pictures are breath-taking. My favorite has to be the last one on this page. You captured the pure beauty of the flower and emphasized it in the filter around the bud edges.
Now here's a true compliment.....I don't even like roses, yet your picture just have me ooohing and ahhhing over here.
Definitely giving me more motivation to get my flower garden going this year.
Chessie,
Good luck on your orchid. It's frustrating isn't it? Mal (our own F&G orchid expert) gave us some growing advice awhile back. I think I've had it for about 4 years without blooming. I'll look for the thread.
My sig on the pic is a Word doc that I make part of the pic. I don't like it My pics were showing up all over the internet without my permission. I don't really mind and am flattered they're so popular. So far I haven't seen anyone misuse them. If they do I would need to prove they are mine and thus the sig. If there's a pic you or anyone else on the boards would like without the sig I would be more than happy to send it to
