You're welcome Maureen! I'm not great with "web-stuff" but the one thing I do know how to do is edit my page. It can be so frustrating! And I don't have anyone to help me. Good luck with it! HW

Olga, was wondering how (so far) Incantation is working for you, as far as fragrance & disease resistance, or is it too early in the season to know? May be-so far for me the most resistant rose is arguably MIP, and it would seem this would not be the case over the long run. If not Incantation, what may your thoughts be on the gallica "Aimable Rouge"? Have heard varying feedback on its fragrance & disease resistance (my main criteria), so was wondering how it would work on the east coast, since the minimum Rouge Valley Order is 3 (4?), and so far I am only decided on "Umbra" and "Mariannce" (though I will want one gallon and it appears they only presently have bands).

Connie, I inserted the photos the same as you do when inserting them in a post. Ideally I wanted to have a photo for as many roses on my list that I had a photo, but the way GW has the page set up for space consolidation, it wasn't working. You can't even have a space for a paragraph. I think I'm still going to play with the images to try to get it to look nicer. Ruth, Golden Celebration was new last year and I don't remember it having any more bs than other roses. Last year was a bad bs year for me, for the first time ever. I didn't spray all year, and by the end of the growing season I realized it's going to be necessary for me to do preventative spraying. Now about the daylily place, is that your business? Do they ship to US? If so, I would love to place an order. Esp. since they ship J. Iris in the spring--one of my main sources from Tenn. only ships in the fall, and I am finding that some of them don't make it over the winter if planted in the fall. Nice daylilies too!

When I had seeds to trade, I posted on the Seed Exchange forum. I made sure my trade list was up-to-date. If someone was interested in trading with me, they contacted me via email. As with other gardening objectives, it makes sense to define your goals--decide how you want to trade (i, e, postage, address labels, envelopes) and put that out there on GW. List the seeds you have to trade on your trade list, then post what seed types you've got available on the Seed Exchange forum. I "shopped" for seeds on the Seed Exchange forum a couple of years until I filled my garden beds. I kept the seed exchange information (i.e., names & addresses of folks with whom I traded) on an Excel spreadsheet so I'd have it for future reference. Common sense rule of thumb is be sure you get return postage prior to mailing seeds.
