Need advice from East Coast organic gardeners
Comments (5)I have yet to get any significant blossom blight, but my impression of the brown rot lifecycle is it is easiest to shut it out early than to try to fight it later in the season. The only year I ever had bad brown rot was last year, and there were horrible continuous warm rains last spring and I did not spray very much then either. Previous years I had done many more spring sprays (trying to shut down a bad case of shot-hole) and I never had brown rot then. Since last year was so bad I did one spray of Orbit at pink and plan on using the Saf-T-Side/Serenade combo for the rest of the summer. Scott...See MoreWhen It's Bad Which Roses are Good?
Comments (24)Hi Carol: I challenge you and others to finish our internationally acclaimed novel, using roses' name, entitled "When we are bad, and roses are good". See the below: â¢Posted by dove_song WA State Z 6b (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 12 at 8:09 ...some MOONLIGHT PASSIONATE KISSES. ST. PATRICK's HEART 'N' SOUL was ALL ABLAZE with anger at THE KNIGHT's and the MERMAID's MONKEY BUSINESS. CHANTILLY LACE had believed she had found TRUE LOVE with THE KNIGHT, But his FLAGRANT, OUTRAGEOUS behaviour with THE MERMAID would break her HOPEFUL HEART. :( â¢Posted by Strawberryhill 5a (My Page) on ST PATRICK invoked the help of king NEPTUNE, who sent a BLASTOFF of cold water jet into the BLUE OCEAN. This froze the knight's ass, so he had to jumped on his boat to continue with the journey. â¢Posted by dove_song WA State Z 6b (My Page) on Unfortunately for him, THE KNIGHT's boat ran into an ICEBERG thus thwarting his journey. In the meantime ST. PATRICK's sailboat was heading out into the BLUE OCEAN FULL SAIL... ST. PATRICK had a HEART O' GOLD, but he was weary of life's hard knocks to him and to those he loved. Therefore he decided to sail to FAIREST CAPE which was well known for it's EASY GOING lifestyle. Upon his arrival at FAIREST CAPE he was greeted by ... â¢Posted by WinterCat z10 (My Page) on ... a BLONDE BOMBSHELL with a BLACK HEART and a penchant for the use of BLACK MAGIC. "Oh! a HELPING HAND just at the right MOMENT IN TIME!" cried the TEMPTRESS. "The CHOCOLATE PRINCE is after me! He wants my HOT CHOCOLATE SECRET RECIPE! Quick! Please let me into your MERCEDES! He's CLOSE UP behind us!" "So much for EASY GOING lifestyle," mumbled ST. PATRICK, but how could he abandon a BLUSHING DAMSEL in distress to her fate? "Hop in LADY! Let's go!" "You're a saint!" sighed the BLONDE BOMBSHELL. "Don't BUTTER ME UP" replied St. Patrick. "What I need is a break from it all. Besides I'm thirsty. You wouldn't have any of that famous HOT CHOCOLATE left, have you? Even some MILKY TEA would do". "I've got SOMETHING ELSE that's much better. A real SURPRISE! Close your eyes", whispered she. ST. PATRICK closed his eyes and ... â¢Posted by Strawberryhill 5a Chicagoland (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 9:45 The BLONDE BOMBSHELL stuffed a GOLDEN DELIGHT into ST. PATRICK's mouth. It tastes so GOLDEN DELICIOUS to him, that he kept eating until he exploded into GOLDEN BUDDHA. Thank God that his entourage of the 7 dwarfs came to the rescue, running on their CUTIE PIE little legs. They are: BASHFUL, DOC, DOPEY, HAPPY, SLEEPY, SNEEZY, and GRUMPY. The dwarfs carried the bloated ST. PATRICK onto his boat. The 7 heroic dwarfs steered the boat toward the ICEBERG to rescue THE KNIGHT, whose YELLOW SUBMARINE got jammed.

Comments (0)phyllostachys bamboo. If you are in or near the Eugene OR area, you can have all the clumps or rhyzomes you want. Warning: the euphorbia will spread throughout the garden and yard if not deadheaded, but is easy to pull up; the petasites are invasive and need to be kept in a container or they will send roots throughout the yard; and the bamboo is a slow running type. The euphorbia will grow to 4 to 5 ft and is a wonderful speciman plant. The petasites have huge tropical-looking leaves and strange spring flowers; it is eaten in Japan and called Japanese butterburr.. The bamboo, which I will be digging soon, makes a lovely, tall, hardy screen with fairly large culms. I planted it 9 years ago and it just recently began to spread, so I'm cleaning it up and putting in barriers. I purchased the bamboo from a local specialty bamboo grower, but I misplaced the species name. It isn't the ordinary skinny rampant bamboo you often see. I'm not asking anything in trade, but if you have something to share I will gladly take it....See MoreAnyone uncovering yet?
Comments (3)Thanks, Mehearty and EJR2005! Well I did uncover a couple of the new ones I got last year from Aldi's, not knowing whether they would even come back at all. They look good--albeit pale and spindly and tender. I left the others alone, and will wait a bit longer. We aren't scheduled to have any of this cold weather others around us are getting....don't know why, but am grateful! I am a beginning hosta collector, and some of mine are up 5-6 inches and leafing out already. I don't think I could possibly find enough containers, sheets, etc. to cover all those plants, so if it does turn off cold, I'll have some losses. Fingers still crossed....
