I finally got my roses planted! :)
Comments (6)I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. That must create immense stress for you. I hope he'll be able to come home soon. I'm sure your roses are going to be thrilled to be in the ground and to have cooler weather. I hope they grow like gangbusters for you. Right now I have just one recently planted rose, Earth Song, and I'm always hanging over it looking for signs of growth and overall happiness. I'm very excited about this rose and hope by next spring it will put on a nice little show. The Dark Lady and Pretty Jessica, also fairly young, are doing very well and the one flower on TDL has been huge. I've been disbudding it to make it grow but am now allowing it to bloom, and there are quite a few more buds coming along. This seems so far to be a very satisfactory rose. Pretty Jessica also seems to be growing nicely, and I'm only now allowing the buds to mature. There didn't seem to be much point during the hot summer months, and I wanted to direct more growth to the roots and leaves....See MoreI broke down and ordered some irises this year
Comments (4)Repartee is beautiful! I was looking at Shooting Star, too. It seems like it would "go with" a lot of things. I was looking to pair it with another iris with a small white patch in the center of the falls. But I can't decide whether to order or not. I love new flowers, too, but am trying to get some of my old favorites going at my new house, because I miss them....See MoreGuess what......my car broke down again today.
Comments (9)Hope it's something simple. DS had to replace some electrical computer sending unit. He had it diagnosed at a dealership for $35 and then replaced it himself for about another $35. We have to have that done soon on the Navajo, after we get my car out of the garage. We dropped it off to get the heater fixed. Drove it 60 miles a day in sub-zero temps with NO HEAT! It is getting fixed because I won't do that again. By the way, the air conditioning works fine. I was in all-day training yesterday when DH left a message for me to call. It seems he had a burst radiator hose and wanted to know what to do. So after work, I went and bought the hose and clamps at the parts store and then some duct tape at the hardware. I already had some anti-freeze in the trunk. (unlike DH, I travel prepared as well as can be.) DH taped up the hose, and I followed him. He pulled off the road to the mechanic's house and told me to leave my car so the heater can be fixed because his car was not leaking bad. We got his car home and DS fixed it in a few minutes. So now I'm driving "Snot", my old car and DH's current car and he will drive the Navajo, limping and missing as it is for a few more days. I will take Snot in Saturday and getting new tires. If you remember, the last time I drove it, I had a flat tire and discovered no jack or spare and couldn't get hold of anyone to come help me. So I will make sure it doesn't happen to DH or me! I will still need to get a couple of new tires for my car before winter. Most all of our income tax refund has gone to getting vehicles up to snuff....See MoreFinally broke down and whacked it...
Comments (96)The benji cutting lost all it's leaves and after getting a chunk of roots,regrew the new ones seen above. The host tree has had the tallest growth pulled down with some hooks fashioned out of coat hangers. Reintroduced the cutting this morning. :)...See Morecharles kidder
