Can anyone email me and tell me how to post photos please?

My roma tomato test plot of 5 plants using approx. 30% horticultural charcoal by volume soil mix for 3 plants shows no apparent difference in the plants. All have grown to the same size regardless of soil type or the time I put them in the ground from their sprouting pots.
The plants have started flowering & I expect edible fruit in perhaps 10 days. Maybe I will taste or measure some other difference in the fruit.
PS Check PM for photo info Micha.
