your blogs and websites about roses
Comments (24)I don't have any blog but did buy my own domain for the sole reason that I have more control over presentation and put up a few slideshows of this and that. But I'm not really getting my full money's worth out of it. It's a .com, but I've never sold anything off it, but it loads faster and is down much less than some of those other sites. I also use it to temp store my photos to embed in posts or sometimes send family & friends links to them rather than a lot of attachments, giving them more control if they want to bother with it or not and not clogging up their inbox and slow downloads big emails take. I did start a blog, but don't know enough about roses and decided best keep my opinions about other things to myself and not provoke people, not that anybody on this forum does that. I did start keeping a diary on my computer. I will try to get back to your blog but looked at too much today and talked too much. You have a lot of knowledge and experience to impart, was wishing I'd saved all your beautiful artist's drawings and photos of your arbors and trellises on your heavy metal thread, just for me to refer to, not to post anywhere else. I even seriously looked into taking a welding course, but at my age, I think working in that heat and equipment would be too hard on me with my physical limitations and dangerous to try at home....See MoreAny good Garden Centers in Palm Beach County?
Comments (10)Welcome- you will have a lot of fun checking out the local nurseries. For native plants- Try Meadow Beauty nursery. Carl & Donna are the best. Located on Ranches Rd. Near Hypoluxo & Jog. They are open to the public on Sat. only from 8-12. Their property is awesome and with the cooler weather coming you will be able to see LOTS of birds and wildlife. Also check out Abell's Nursery on Hypoluxo. Family owned. Very nice staff. Tropicals- Excelsa is awesome and if you are into bamboo, Tropical Bamboo is right around the bend from them.

Comments (7)1000 Garden Ideas by Stafford Cliff sounds like a great book, certainly one with a unique twist. I have always enjoyed the blog"A Way To Garden" and think you might find it informative and interesting as well. "Garden Design On Line" is an interesting blog that is written by someone familiar with New England and often is the first to post LD news. I have to get back to working on my taxes but this thread will give me something fun to think about in the mean time. More later....See MoreGood websites for tropical vegetable gardening?
Comments (1)I live a few miles from Echo which is in N. Ft Myers, Fl. and have been to their garden/nursery. If you ever have a chance to go there before you go to Africa, I would jump on it. I think that gardening in Africa is more than just gardening in the tropics, you have soil and water problems. THey have a lot of information for folks who are going on missionary trips. I would contact them personally so see if they'll they can send you anything specific for the area you are going to. Barb...See Morevaplantman
