What great advice about the carrots, I had given up on them because of pests as well, I should give your advice a try next year and try for another little carrot crop. :) Your apple trees look so beautiful, apples are my favorite and I am so looking forward to picking up a bunch from the farmer's market this month, I love cooking with apples! Back pain is horrible, I suffer from time to time myself so I can relate, hoping you get better soon!

It will not upload from my computer, so I tried linking the Youtube video directly on to my blog and it showed up perfectly on 'preview' but only as a white square 'live' I did it both by copying the html code and pasting it into 'link' and by copying the URL code of the video under 'information' and that didn't work either. Thanks for the help, I'll keep trying, new computer takes working out sometimes.

If you can get to an acupuncturist they may be able to help you. Your carrots look great to me, as do your apples. Actually everything looks great to me. Concerning your video....did you want to actually post the YouTube video on your Blog. I was not sure if you were saying you wanted to post the video on your Blog, but couldn't so used YouTube because you can embed YouTube videos onto your Blog itself by adding the "embed" code to the page where you compose your post. Just click on the "html" tab and paste the "embed" code where you want the video to be.
