Idahomeboy, I too started on the container forum. But I found this forum substantially more helpful for growing fruits in pots. I found that the recipes for the "gritty mix" and the "5-1-1" mix were way too dry for my purposes. And the gritty mix is extremely heavy. (It is based on rocks, after all.) I use a wetter, but well draining soil mix and I still must water every day. Although he also grows in ground, fruitnut has shared a wealth of information on growing fruits in pots. Try searching this forum for his posts. There's a lot of great info here. I'm just a beginner. I'm in ohio, zone 5. In pots, I grow or have grown in pots strawberries, mulberries, gooseberries, sweet cherries, blueberries, and blackberries. I haven't harvested any plums or boysenberries yet, but I'm working on those too. Everything I've needed to know to grow those fruits in pots I learned here on this forum. So you're in the right place. Good luck

As I exclusively buy bare roots, my buying season is fall to early spring and I did most of my buying last fall. However I have a few roses I ordered in 2014 and arriving any day now, which should be the last for the season: Cornelia, Mrs. Herbert Stevens, Mme Jules Gravereaux, Evelyn, Macmillan Nurse, Alchymist and Aloha Still not sure where to place most of them and I also have a backlog of another 30 or so roses living in pots pending placement also... However the roses I bought last fall make a much longer list... Fortune's Double Yellow Duchesse de Brabant Gloire de Dijon Pink Grootendorst (for a pot) Lady Hillingdon Climber Crépuscule Sombreuil (not the tea) Cécile Brünner Climber Félicité Perpétue Queen of Sweden R. rubiginosa Magnifica Teasing Georgia Abraham Darby Jude the Obscure Sharifa Asma Lady Emma Hamilton Buff Beauty Munstead Wood Boscobel Darcey Bussell The Lark Ascending Perle d'Or Paul's Himalayan Musk Lady of Shalott New Dawn Mme Grégoire Staechelin Paul Noël and Ispahan some of the above in multiples.... I think I need to pay a visit to rosaholics anonymous. Nik

I love them, Soultan!!! They are beautiful roses, and you got great shots of them! I really like the bi-color, or variegated, rose! I'm going to have to add one or more of that type to my 2008 rose order list! I would think that color combination really stands out in the garden... I've never really been interested in them before, but after seeing your picture, I must have at least one! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this post... I fried my keyboard with coffee, and then my computer gave me the dreaded "blue screen of death"! Luckily, Larry was able to fix the computer, and I found a spare keyboard to use... lesson learned: technology and coffee do not mix! I am planning on taking new photos of my blooming bulbs and other things sometime today, and hopefully, I will find the time to get them posted... The red mini rose that I've posted pictures of is STILL blooming... we've had a few hard frosts and it's the middle of November!! I can't believe it's still blooming... what an amazing rose!! I just love the minis! I should take some cuttings from this one, and start some new plants to spread to all my friends all over the USA!! If I get good results rooting some cuttings, I will have to send you one, Soultan!

LOL......probably not the place to post this. Aplogies to Kristy for partial hijack of this thread. Here is a quick cut and paste from an Excel list I keep of what I am growing.
