I have been a bespoke picture framer for the last 30 years. Working on gallery grade faming.
The mount-board (coloured cardboard) is used to highlight the picture and give it depth, also to hold the painting away from the glass and stop discoloration. If professionally done, the mount will have a slightly deeper lower edge, to balance the picture when hung on the wall. The mount-board will (should) be made from high quality acid free paper, also to stop discoloration and damage to the picture.
The brown tape at the back of the frame is essential to elevating humidity and dust entering the frame, extending the life of all parts involved the framing process.
Normally this tape is a professional framing tape, that sticks to the molding (wooden bit) but not to itself, but any brown tape can be used, self-adhesive or gum tape. If using gum-tape make sure most of the moisture has been removed before applying it to the back of the frame.
As for leaving a message in the back if the picture frame, I always loved this when reframing a picture. The history and love we can share with future art lovers, just makes the art feel so much more special.

I give this seed source 10 out of 10 acorns,
I love their site and can spend hours filling up my basket with just one vegetable!
Not all their seed are organic but the ones that are are labeled as such.
I understand this as i am not a registered organic gardener but grow with out chemicals in the best earth i can possibly make. In the end the seeds that i save from the seeds that I bought will be as organic and some of the best vegetable you can eat but they will still not be registered organic.
With the real seed company you can tell that thir seeds are loved and that’s what makes them healthy and strong.
Looking forward to my 10 varieties of toms!!! This year, and my walking onions are doing well even if I did sit on them before being planted!!!

Could any one tell me if it is safe to grow walnut trees near my olive trees? I have a large space between two of my olives, about 10 meters and was wondering if this was enough distance apart for me to plant a walnut. Do they get on as they both create the own suppressants? Although there are many olive trees and walnut trees in the area I have not observed them in the same vicinity.
