Getting ready to grow!

I'm in zone 8a and have been itching to get my garden ready to grow veggies since our last frost date has passed. The only thing holding me back was getting my ground tilled as I don't have one. Luckily my brother in law does and he came by Saturday to help me out! I feel so much better to be able to have a place for my plants, which are just screaming (well, I hear them anyway) to get out of the cells they've been trapped in for almost 8 weeks.

Once I figure out how to post pics from my phone I'll show you what my set up looks like.

Here are some tips for how to post images on a forum:

Lower resolution images are better than the really high resolution images that are print quality.

Congratulations catdaddy! Yeah, I usually have to edit my pictures and resize to 60% to keep them under 3mb to post. The plainer pictures without so many shades in the background do not take up as many pixels.

I know the mechanics of posting pics, just don't know how to resize them on my new device. But after watching a YouTube video I'll try again... Wish me luck!

I right click on the picture. You can edit in picasa or I just click on edit. It opens up. I click on resize and it says horizontal/vertical. I only have to change one, it changes both to 60 and hit save. click on file and save as rename your file. I add an r to the filenames so I know it is the one that was resized. I don't resize the original because if I screw it up, it is hard to fix. I also found out if you click on options on this forum and click on add file. you can click on the file of the picture and right click to edit it before you open the file.
