It's easy to do if you use an image editor like irfanview. I think most editors have this function (not viewers) and then here's a video showing how to do it in irfanview..

Thanks Al@NC! I will go watch the link. Does anyone else find their pictures randomly loading sideways? It seems strange I need to edit an image that starts out fine when I upload from the source. My lack of technical knowledge is ...well... is!

Great looking little plants, hl2601,couldn't help but notice that you also have Rumpelstiltskin started, but this one is supposed to be delineated as Striped Rumpelstiltskin, because it is different than regular Rumpelstiltskin. Rumpelstiltskin does not have stripes, this is a late segregant that showed up in the F6. Won't you please add that to your name tag? Later on since this is a new segregant the breeder will change the name to something different altogether.

Some of my pictures load sideways too. I try to PREVIEW before submitting the post. All I have done is go into the picture editor on my laptop and save the picture, making no changes. The picture then loads on TV perfectly. It is totally random; about 20% of the time.

Meanwhile we had a hellacious storm late afternoon yesterday. Winds were 22 MPH all day, but after 5 the gust were 40-50 MPH. 4 of my 5 plants on the porch toppled over; the one didn't because I had moved it after the first one. One EB toppled over; that was all I could see. I left them all down until this AM. Ripped up the weed barrier on the east side of the house (no tomato plants there).

This morning I went out expecting the worse, and although some branches were broken , nothing else toppled over.

The KARMA PINKS were totally intact; didn't look like they were affected at all; just growing. 10+ tomatoes on the one plant. Many bud and flower clusters. The earlier tomatoes are approaching ping-pong ball size. WooHoo

Started pruning some of the leaf branches.


Will post again when I have new info or ripe tomatoes (haha). I has not been 2 months.

We had a lot of high wind yesterday down here south of you too. It wasn't quite such a hellacious storm down here I think it had calmed down a bit. Looks like with the Karma's you're well ahead of the pack. Pretty good green thumb you have there my friend!

On Tuesday night, I started my usual pre-sprouting method - seeds, paper towels, zip-lock bags, and distilled water.

Come Wednesday night, I check all the seeds (because I'm impatient) and, lo and behold, the KARMA Pink already had tiny taproots. Typically, I expect my tomato seeds to take 48+ hours to sprout, so I was pleasantly surprised when these seeds were sprouting in only 24 hours... those little buggers are vigorous!
