Okay. I put in her name in the top search box, but I got every trade and other message out there for her on GW. So maybe she doesn't have a rate and review yet. I just wish they had it like the old forum where the rate & review itself had a search box. I put other people's names in there, along with "rate & review," and I still got all kinds of other posts, messages, etc. Thanks for your help, though. I figured I was doing something wrong. I actually have a link on my Ideabook for my rate & review page. Makes it easier for people to find me. Just click and you're there to review me. :)

Hi Sherry, Have you ever tried adding native nitrogen-fixing plants to your rosebeds? I don't know much (like zip!) about Florida natives that fix nitrogen, but I found a few pretty quickly on a Google search--the small partridge pea (annual) and Elliott's milk pea (perennial). Both of these were on the website of the Florida Native Plant Society (link is below). Maybe this wouldn't do a lot, but it might give just a little boost to the soil so your roses could possibly benefit from mini snacks throughout the year. I use a variety of nitrogen-fixers in my garden. Many are California natives, with some non-natives that like the climate here. I have palo verdes (love this tree so I have 3 Parkinsonia 'Desert Museum'), Lotus scoparius (deerweed), Lotus crassifolius otayensis (Otay lotus), pink fairy duster (Calliandra eriophylla), Santa Catalina Island Mountain Mahogany (Cercocarpis traskiae), lots of California lilac (Ceanothus cyaneus, spinosus, tomentosus, 'Snow Flurry', 'Zanzibar', 'Lemon Ice', 'Diamond Heights', 'All Gold'), as well as non natives like white Bauhinia, various clovers, Austrian winter peas, birdsfoot trefoil, etc. Guess I'm just a lazy gardener who would rather not have to add stuff to the garden if the plants can do my work for me.;) My plants are lucky to get a little fish emulsion--although a small number get a mild powdered organic fertilizer occasionally. Many plants I feed nothing. Don't know how successful this would be in a much different climate/soil. Here I have mostly sandy loam, with some strips of the garden being clay or sand. Both the soil and water are alkaline and rainfall is low. The only problem being that the city water is high in boron with varying effects on plants.

The upside of these gift registries is one could find a gift one is willing to give and when the receiver decides that isn't quite right they can return/exchange end up with what they prefer in the end. I often find "registered for" items at other stores for much less. Buying them "off sight" increases the possibility the receiver will get two. With a registry the receiver can exchange the expensive version for a new choice. No one wants to know when their gift is "adjusted" to fit the receivers true desires. I understand the feelings when a gift is not well received but in the end if the money is going to be spent I would rather the receiver have something desired and usable. When I was a young mom money was tight. It was very depressing for me to have plenty of clothes--hand me downs from sisters/first child and receive MORE brand new things, when I NEEDED diapers/wipes/sheets......

Happy New Year! Bury the money today, while saying I'm burying my problems. After midnight say rabbit rabbit then Happy New Year. Eat lucky foods and bang clean pots. Dig up the money while saying I'm uncovering my fortunes. I think I've got it. For further fun personally I'm also going to shake an empty wallet at the sky. :-). Lots of fun for me. The rest of my family is bordering on ho hum about most holiday and traditional stuff so it's a party of one mostly. I'm fine to have fun on my family's behalf. :-) Also happy to say goodbye 2020! So happy to be rolling in 2021! Hooray! ... Although we did get the vaccine made and vaccinations started in 2020 so maybe that is something. Not nearly enough but something... Here's an article about superstitions around the world. I don't think I'll do all of them :-) I do not want that n'k'd potato. https://blog.atlastravelweb.com/special-interests/festivals-2/unusual-questions-about-new-years-eve-superstitions/
