Copyright Notice
We love gardening, we love talking about gardening, and we love sharing what we've learned with other people. Most gardeners are like this. We didn't put this site together in order to make a profit. However, this doesn't mean our images or words are free for the taking.
Feel free to look at, and enjoy, our photographs as often as you wish. Feel free to tell other people about them, or to send the URLs (Web addresses) of the photos to your friends. But please do not copy them and use them yourself, even if it's "just to mail a nice picture to a friend". Our photographs represent a lot of time and effort, and we retain all rights to their display and use. If you have a legitimate reason for wanting to copy one of our images, write us and ask! We're reasonable people, and will consider reasonable requests.
Likewise, our words are our own. Short excerpts of our writing can be used, as long as they appear in quotations and are cited as having been written by us. Also you certainly can print out pages for yourself if you find them helpful (it's a lot easier than dragging your computer out into your garden!). But do not lift entire articles, or significant parts of them, and use them as if they are your own. To most of you this probably seems like a silly thing to say. Unfortunately, though, both of us have been through the experience of having a "great Web site" recommended to us, only to find out the entire site was constructed using writings taken from another source without credit (and probably without permission).
Finally, if you find a bit of JavaScript on our site that you really like, you are free to use it on your own pages - as long as you credit Travis as the author (if you look at one of our scripts, you'll see what we mean). Any scripts on our site that weren't written by Travis will have an author credit attached. Please note that this only refers to client-side scripts. Server-side scripts are not to be copied.
In short, it is ILLEGAL to take any part of this Web site to use without permission from the authors!
