I've uploaded many, many photos to facebook but not all are of my garden, plants or flowers. I prefer to have my plant/list/flower photos organized here on ATP and then I supply a link back here.
I like to promote ATP because I think it's an amazing site for gardeners, whether those who've been interested in plants for many years (but don't yet perhaps know about the site) or those newbies who are just starting out and learning about gardening. I know a lady who lives in South Florida who loves working in her yard and enjoys plants and flowers but she just wants to plant stuff and hopes that it will survive. Here in Florida, many things will indeed thrive and survive but recently she e-mailed me, asking questions about a couple of types of plants that she saw at a big box store and another that she saw a photo of in a magazine. She really wanted to plant them in her yard but they were plants that do not do well at all in Florida and would be very short lived. This friend isn't real computer savvy, other than e-mail so she doesn't join on-line websites and I knew she wouldn't join ATP but I still supplied links to the plants in our database so she could read more. She thanked me and said she really enjoyed reading about the plants and loved the photos and she was happy that she didn't waste her money for plants that would only live for probably a month or two here in our hot, humid Florida climate.
