Did anyone else order roses this winter?
Comments (15)LL those are all very pretty colors! I've finally decided to take a chance on roses again as I see so many pretty ones here. However I didn't order any as we are redoing our garden and I need to move a lot of plants to make space for them. I want them near the patio so the deer are less likely to get to them. So hopefully there will be some roses left at the garden centers when I'm ready to plant them. I've made a long list of very hardy roses so I might be lucky to get a few I like. If they are in the ground sometime in May they should be OK. Our last frost date is beginning of June. We still have thoroughly frozen ground so can't do much for awhile but plan....See MoreAnyone else losing it because of the weather?
Comments (8)I can soooooo feel your pain ;) No with daylight saving change we can look out the window at the snow even later in the day...WAHOOO NOT! LOL I did have a real wahooo this morning when the temp as 5 degrees and my greenhouse maintained a temp of 28 degrees overnight (no heater). Yeeha the thermal mass has thawed! I think next weekend I'm going to have to bite the bullet and start a heater out there. I've been going so bezerk I started too many seeds and now my little seedlings won't all fit under my growing lights...wooops!...See MoreIS this RRD or something else on my Rose bushes
Comments (22)You don't want to spray Roundup or any similar herbicides near your roses. The spray can drift far (20 - 30 feet), and the damage looks similar to your third photo. Not saying that it definitely IS herbicide damage, but I wouldn't do any more herbicide sprays around the roses. On the chili thrip front, in addition to the state ag folks, send a copy of the photos to Dr. Malcolm Manners at Florida Southern College (Google him). He stops by the forums from time to time (usually over in the Antique Roses forum), but a direct email would be best....See MoreHomemade Yogurt – Anyone else make it? I have a few questions..
Comments (64)Greek yogurt in Greece is very thick. That was my first exposure to "Greek" yogurt. It has added fat so is very rich and creamy. 10% milkfat is usual but you can get even 15%. Usually served with honey to drizzle on it. Consistency of sour cream. At the greek bed and breakfast where we stayed 6 years ago, it was large part of breakfast. We would all eat big bowls full with nothing but honey on it. I doubt you can get it with added fat in the US. It's been trendy here for a few years, but bears little resemblance to real Greek yogurt. I laugh when I see a label stating "Non-fat" greek yogurt. I use whole milk Greek yogurt as a starter. You have to experiment with brands. Some are sour. We buy non-national, non-advertised brands we get at an ethnic grocery store. I have a vintage Salton yogurt maker I have had for 40+ years. I didn't use it early on when the only brand you could get was Dannon, which I don't like. Now that I can get good yogurt for a starter, I use mine every week. We use more yogurt than I can make. The thick yogurt as it comes gets used to make Tzaziki sauce and similar. I don't bother to strain my resulting product. Mine is just to eat....See Morebuford
