I am new here to these forums but not exactly new to Moosey's country garden since I have been a regular visitor for over a year now and LOVE to read her updates. (I had once written her too and she sent me a very warm and friendly reply much sooner than I had expected).
My name is Cosmata and I live in Guyana, South America. I love gardening and spend most of my spare time in a the postage stamp sized garden I have created in the very small space around the house I presently live in. My garden is a perfect example of a messy, colourful flowering shrubs and annuals, all mixed up and expected to cooperate with each and bloom to their best ability, hey I have very little space and can't resist new additions! But I do love every inch of my higgly-piggly garden and dream of how I can improve it every day. I will try to post a couple of pics so those who might be interested will have an idea of what my garden looks like.
Love to all,
Cosmata

21 Oct '09 3:24 am Hey guys, thanks for the welcome. I will try to post some pics, I have lots on my computer but always have trouble uploading pics, (maybe it's because I use dialup instead of broadband?) but will see what I can do. Thanks again for your friendly replies

Hi again!
21 Oct '09 6:46 am Once you've got the hang of it, uploading pics on Moosey is really easy! I've been around the block, believe me, and all the time I get more respect for Moosey's webmaster son for the design of the forum et al!!
I am also on TERRIBLY slow internet. The important thing is to resize them before loading. Moosey's max is, I think 1600 x 1600 pixels, but that is way too big for us slow-pokes anyway. Reduce them to under 800 pixels in the biggest dimension, or even under 400 whilst you're learning. Try to load pics of between 100 and 200 Mb to begin with.
Good luck!
