It's probably OK when you are asking questions for reference. I'd just make sure it's not a high quality photo.

And also you could reference where you got the photo - so you're clearly not claiming it as yours!! The semps are gonna love the cold weather! You should be getting some color changes now for sure Jojoe! You're gonna like that part! I tip my hat to you. Hurray!

For safety sake lets see if we can just use links to great and interesting finds for gardening ideas.
Jelinda, don't worry, almost all of us have posted pictures from other sites or magazines. It is just all part of the learning experience. I know I have done it in the past. And as I said before, the fault is mine that I didn't catch all the photos in the beginning. My fault totally. *Blush*
You have so much enthusiasm and it is so infectious, keep being you. Lovey dubby

We've all done it at some time Jackie.
The great tool here at ATP is that we can post photos from other links and the database into a post we are writing. Very easy to do. In the process it automatically gives credit to the person it belongs to. Hurray!

Those are great Lynn!! Thanks for sharing! I am excited to get moved and attempt to make the hypertufa planters! Those I think will be very fun and will add a more natural look to my garden! Super excited!

Ive also seen those earrings on etsy and ebay. Most I think they refer to them as airplants. Its kinda weird but neat at the same time.

Beev,I love strawberry pots also!!! But i', going to use these in my rock garden since i don't have that many,trying to fill up the bed some.I think after this winter of having all my tender succulents in different pots & trying to keep them in enough light,i'm going to try putting them in strawberry pots.I have 1 large pot,1 a little smaller,the one i got with the semps,then one even shorter.I was thinking they may be easier to keep up with in strawberry pots and won't take up so much room!! Hurray!

If you look at the semps in the top of the pot there's all different sizes and i haven't been able to take them out yet (it's raining) but i noticed there's babies that are growing under the lip of the top of the pot.I don't believe they have even seen much light because of their color.I really need to get them all out to see just how many there are and how many with babies!!

Jojoe, on a different thread I remember reading something that "Twitcher" said, (I'm not quoting, just remembering) when you remove chicks its best to take the stem part ("stolon") with the chick, not leaving it behind on the "hen" She'll send out more babies faster that way and it gives the chicks an anchor. If you are willing to baby them I've found that I can take the chicks off pretty early, I usually put them in a pot if they're too small, just to keep and eye on them. They grow pretty quickly!! So yes, I'd say take the plants out of your new strawberry pot and plant them all around your bed! How exciting Hurray! I tip my hat to you.

Jojoe, I liked strawberry pots but got frustrate with the way some were made that I took barely basic pottery lessons to try and make my first strawberry pot. Picture of the one I made is below and appears I could have included maybe 2 more pockets? And as you can see they are not easy OR I just don't have the talent...I need to keep practicing, but I potted it up anyway.

Bev that is so cool! A woman of many talents!! Did you take a class or do you know someone with a kiln? Was it challenging to keep the pockets from flapping open before you fired it?? Its a great color too! I tip my hat to you.
