GOING BANANAS in the garden and new site features

My Banana Tree August 2010  Portland Oregon

There is nothing like going a little bananas over the weekend is there??   Check this out you guys.  The ABOVE image is of my banana tree taken today  and below is around September LAST year.  Wow did this tree grow  a ton this season!

Considering the banana trees are cut to the ground every November  this is an incredible feat of botanical magic.  I do help it along with some awesome Bat Guano and bone meal…the same as what I feed the cannas which will bloom in a few weeks or so

You may have noticed some underlined text in the blog this time….well they are not just your average link!! These little morsels of trivia and interesting factoids I insert with a new program I installed to make my fact finding easier and more fun for you all!  Don’t miss the great garden video about growing cold hardy bananas which I inserted at the bottom of the banana trees link (above).

BELOW IS A SCREEN SHOT EXAMPLE OF THE LITTLE WINDOW  THAT POPS UP WHEN YOU CLICK ON UNDERLINED  LINKS

Note you can resize this window, drag it around the screen and if you click the question mark in the lower left you can set your preferences on how the windows behave. You can even make the windows pop up when you hover over the links but I have the defaut set to CLICK to enable the links.  Customize the way you want and the system will remember it next time you visit.

Clicking on any  of the links will keep you at the blog and pop up a little window like the one on this screenshot,  with all sorts of my hand chosen links and reference videos to expand your universe!!!

The main link in the window most times will have  other goodies which I inserted in a row at the bottom.  All open up in the popup so you never need to navigate away from the blog.

WAY FUN HUH????  This will be perfect for when I want to put up travel facts etc.

TO VIEW THE LITTLE WINDOWS LARGER THEY CAN BE RESIZED BY DRAGGING THE LOWER LEFT CORNER

Above are some photos I took today on our 60 degree morning walk in a local park full of mosses and lichens.  It’s kind of a boggy area and in the summer the mosses are quite dry…….but in winter they are an emerald vision!

And I’m sure you noticed by now the new banner at the blog homepage and the shopping cart icon!! I just installed a new website directly in GRAFFITI GOSSIP and on my FACEBOOK page as well.   Click on SHOP JEWELRY at the top of the page in the tabs to bring you to my store front!  It’s still being worked on but there are couple of gorgeous new sea inspired pieces in there already and my blog readers the first to see them!!

Let me know how the new site is working for you and I will have much more on the way.  I’m just getting all the categories into place now will announce more in my MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

Have a wonderful week my friends and I hope you have a wonderful week!!
