First blooms of spring in GA....NO not roses!
Comments (7)Patricia...I'm not sure since we also had a pretty severe drought here in Ga.too. Mine didn't seem to be bothered too much by it. Thankfully pretty much everything here survived the Easter freeze and then the drought so I'm vey thankful! Now they are forecasting freezing temps for a couple of nights this weekend! AAARGH!!! Everything here thinks it's already spring so lots of new tender growth....See MoreMy California Rose Garden 2024
Comments (72)Diane, My hand and arm does serve a second purpose to gauge the size of the roses. Once I saw a sweet looking elderly couple where the husband was taking pics of his wife next to roses. Someone remarked how pretty his wife looked, and the man replied ’I only include her in the pic so I can tell how tall that rosebush is!’ You asked about Golden Zest and Bring Me Sunshine. Both are very young for me I like Golden Zest very much, it is a cheerful strong yellow and the blooms are high quality. BMS has been super thin toothpick stems, I finally see a few tiny buds at the end. Out of my 160 varieites, right now it ranks dead bottom! Hopefully it will improve. I did see AllSass post some nice pics of blooms. Golden Zest Bring Me sunshine so far…I have fuschias that are far more upright! Oh, and Henri is Henri Delbard. The Japanese call him Orange Marmalade, I do like that name! The rose is a stunner....See MoreMy GA Garden Spring 2024
Comments (18)Thank you all so much. It wouldn't have been possible without the support of this amazing community here. It's certainly progress from the time I started out in Spring 2018, looking at an old KO rose left over from the previous owner. Not sure what she thought planting it so close to the tree but it was blah, if not desolate outside at that time. Since then we renovated the front yard, I lined up this front bed along the driveway with Coral Drifts (coming in now), three more roses to the right, and other plants, the rest on the back deck. All in all, it's finally pretty chirpy around here :) Aaaaand I have three more roses on the way. I keep telling myself I must get rid of one to get another, just to keep the number under control, but I can't decide to get rid of any of them because they are all so beautiful and none of them does particularly bad. I snatched out a couple of them last Fall when I suspected RRD and a Drift this Spring for the same reason. The container roses on the deck are doing the best and since this place is quite generous, it could accommodate a few more :) ...Sadly, my time is not (generous). Either way, I am in love with all these beauties and they seem to get better every year. My latest love is Beverly. I bashed her on her first year even knowing she did not get a chance to show what she can do. The few summer blooms were washed out and opened too much, too fast, but now in its second year she is spectacular. When I pas her by, there's a waft of amazing fragrance and she sits so ... HT-proud and upright, in a shrubby form with floribunda-level bloom. I heard people being disappointed in her and I can't fathom why. Either way, one can't be rid of any of these gorgeous things, demanding as they may be....See MoreDoes anyone have a 2024 SamsungFrame TV over a gas fpl?
Comments (22)In PA, we have all our TVs over fireplaces. They aren't Samsung, though, just regular TVs. We have little insets cut out into the wall behind the TVs where we hide the Apple TV because we built the house. and planned it that way. In this day and age, though, why would you need a cable box? Our new house we just have all smart TVs so they mount on the wall and are self-contained (we had electricians move plugs so you don't see the plug). We went to considerable expense to put arms behind the TVs .in PA. Fancy ones with remotes, etc. Do you know how many times we have used them. Zero. I don't even know where the remotes are or if they work any more. And they made it a huge pain to take the TV down when we needed to. Our TV over our wood burning fireplace tied pretty quickly. Maybe like .5 years., TVs are cheap, we just bought another one. The ones over the gas have been fine but we don't use those fireplaces nearly as much (Wood burning we put on every day we are there in the winter)....See Moredavidchance
