Sorry to hear that Lucy.

It works fine for me and 2 others I have heard from.

May be a setting on your computer perhaps? (I recall you had a similar problem a while back.)

Wish I could be more help.....

Country Gardens magazine, in the Spring 2012 issue, has a cover feature on "Creating Cottage Style" with raised beds.

The entire issue is interesting:

- Tulips in a Louisiana garden.

- an article about swapping a California front lawn for a yard full of xeric succulents and herbs.

- a beautifully photographed article about using Wildflowers in containers, at The Garden in the Woods, in Framingham, Massachusetts.

- an article on creating succulent bouquets.

- one about making Cookies from your garden!

- and much more.

Really a nice issue.

Flea Market Gardens
This is by the publishers of Country Almanac magazine, and at the newsstands now..

Lots of useful and beautiful articles, and garden visits.

Some standout Cottage Garden articles, showing great gardens and many ways to use "found" decorative elements to create the look.

One article titled "Reclaimed Prairie" (Iowa), shows a shed with the roof planted profusely with annuals. The owners design and sell repurposed, recycled "country chic" garden ornaments, arbors, etc on their charming farm.

Another article "Creative Castoffs" features repurposed Flea market finds for the garden, such as furniture, glass punchbowls, a cultivator, etc.

Chock full of ideas and eye candy.

Janice, the first article in that issue of Flea Market Gardens, the 10-page article without an identified location or owner, is the garden of Calsurf73 (JasperDale in DG). It's absolutely stunning!

Great to know, Zuzu!

It is fabulous and recognize the arbors now!

I believe he gave me some ideas on Climbing Roses last year. Doesn't he have CanCan on an arbor, as I recall?
