Here is what I came up with - should be wild looking when everything fills in.

Durn girl, You don't frogs ??? do you????Me too. I love frogs. Enid you got mail, Monday. Don't kill it. .......
That is a pretty garden. I love it. Lynn will too.

Good morning all, miss you. And yes I do love that new garden. : ) Can't wait to see it all grown up. I'm with Charleen, love the frogs. When I get home I will have to take a picture of my frog. It it hysterical. It's in the 80's here and wonderful to see my children and grandchildren. Taking pictures, will share some with you. : )
Lori, what is in the second bed, I can't see but the edge of it. Happy gardening all.

I LOVE frogs!! I have them everywhere. I don't have them all put out yet this year but I am working on it. I will get that done and pics taken then give you a link for viewing.

Glad you like my new bed - DH actually likes it too - and he could normally care less about what I am growing (or killing).

The second bed is kinda more of the same.

another view

Looking good, enid.

Thanks friend!! I have worked my buns off on this project. As soon as I get a minute, I am going to put together the before and after pics (somewhere) and I will give you a link. The transformation has been quite amazing if I do say so myself.

Where would one post something like that on Cubits anyway? "Over There" we had the Journal - whatever shall I do???

Wow Lori, nice job!

Lori and all the rest of you. Here is a link to a new database for your garden pictures. Each person can have their own entry page. Use you online name for name of entry. Just a rough outline, please give me input on other catagories that you think would be helpful. I was thinking the plant field (1, 2, 3 etc) could be the discription of the bed, the photos could carry the corresponding number for the plant field. I made one entry in the database. Waiting to hear suggestions for what will work best for everyone. : )
Here is the link http://cubits.org/sedumandsemp...
Great place for each of you to show your existing and new beds and projects, and they won't get lost in threads. So easy to refer to them with a link in the threads. What do all of you think?

Charleen, I see you started pictures of your gardens. Really great pictures. When I get home I am going to do like Lori and put before and after pictures of the bed I am going to redo this year. Great idea Lori.

That way we can watch them all grow. won't it be wonderful? Your database is going to be so full of beautiful gardens.

That is a great idea! All of our gardens in one spot for easy reference. Personally, I want all of mine in one place so I can easily look back and see the progress I have made and admire my work. LOL
As soon as I get it all together, I will post pics.

See Lori, you got one set up for you. Lynn knows we need all the help we can get.
Lyn, Lori and everyone that is interested I have a new Steppingstone Tutorial, Please go check it out.

It will fit into our gardens and wait til you see what I did to that hole in the frog. I made it into a pot. I got to get you a pic. Today sometime....

Can't wait to see the frog!!

How great that we can display our gardens. As you use that new Garden Database please let me know if I can add new fields for you. My brain isn't thinking very creatively today. It sure is going to be fun for me to see everyone's gardens displayed and so easy to find. I will start posting mine when I get back home.

I think I am going to put the frog in the garden and plant something in it. So, I should take pictures now early in the season and then later in summer, then once more in the fall to get it all covered. Now that is great!!!!

YEAH!!! We all love progression pictures.

See RRM, we are on the same page. Here is my thought behind my progession pics. I know what I did out there right now - this fall I won't remember what container has top soil, what got fertilized, what died.... I remember now, so I need to put all that info with the pics together somewhere. Oh, and I need to remind myself that I am an instant gratification kind of girl. I don't know that seed starting is for me. It is fun to watch them grow but dang, it takes too long before you get "pretty". I want pretty now!!

I have all the plant markers (commercial) from the plants I have bought, I can store the info from them with the pic of that plant in its planting location. If it doesn't do well and I kill it or move it, I want its history and info available to me.

As you well know dear friend, I am not at all careful with things and I don't like rules so....I have done things my way. If it works out great!! If not, we can all learn something from my errors and laziness!
Lori

There are a lot of us out here and Our dear friend Lynn came up with the solution. I love problem solvers,Hang with me kid. You'll be all over these cubits and meet Lots of great people. I love it. They provide the brains and we get help with what we want to do. Isn't it Grand, Lori??? we got our cake and get to share it with others

In those text fields in the new database you can do a big paragraph for notes, etc.
