I have been cutting roses once a week for a bouquet. The roses are really beautiful this year, and they seem to last a long time even when cut. I've got about 50 rose bushes to cut from, so a dozen cut is hardly missed.
Sounds lovely cjhsa. Did you plant all of those rose bushes?
I love my little garden right now. All just awakening. The trillium unfurled, the scillia aglow, the virginia bluebells looking like some sort of salad. Stuff is coming back! Stuff is blooming! Maybe I'll borrow my housemate's digital camera tomorrow.....
Hey, littlek, as long as you're here... I noticed on the book thread that you were reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time." I have just finished it. Quite entertaining. How'd you like it?
You can make the answer brief, because these people will want to get back to their gardening questions.
This was supposed to be a picture of my window sill garden but it did not work our right so y'all will just have to use your imagination.
Your garden needs to be "weeded", Joanne.
Got a guy coming to mow my lawn tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait. Right now I've got the scrappiest yard in the street. And it's a long street.
I took picture this morning of my garden, will try and post them tonight.
I planted five of the 50 rosebushes. Some of them are really old.

I like that sentence, littlek. It has a certain "Blazing Saddles" ring to it...
"Mongo took picture"
:wink:
As famous for punching a horse as he was playing lineman for the Lions.
What this has to do with gardening I have no idea.
Gus, if it didn't take so long to post an edit, I would have fixed it.
Filled my usual tub this weekend and put in some different plants
Platycodon 'Fuji Blue'
actually that site has a wonderful page for perennials and types, etc. to help guide you in decisions.

I also put in a couple of Dahlias, and some other plant that I cant think of at the moment. Like HELICHRYSUM but, not sure.
Keep your fingers crossed it doesnt go the way it did last year with some groundhog or other varmit eating them up and me going to my usual stand by of impatients..not that thats a bad thing.
Coming along. Planted veggies about two weeks ago, now planting flowers in containers. And waiting for the ones I ordered from White Farms, per ehbeth's suggestion. Or was it littleK?
The weather has been beautiful.
How is my garden looking today? Awful. Just awful. I'm so depressed. The weeds are rampant, everything's kind of raggedy, and I just can't get motivated... we're leaving in a matter of months! It will drive me insane soon enough, then I'll jump to. Actually, planting the annuals should help. They pretty things up but quick.
Finally I have a picture of my window sill garden posted in the gallery but I cannot figure out how to post it here.
right click on it, properties, highlight and copy the address information
paste that between the IMG []'s...you'll see those in 'preview'
