Bet you didn't know. I didn't
Comments (6)Thanks for sharing that Ron. I did not know any of those stories. They all touched me, and they made me think of many other stories there are out there. I travel a lot on my job and in pursuit of my other passion in life; trout fishing. I see men and women in uniform in almost every airport I travel to, but I particularly see many on my trips to Charlotte. Some of these folks are going "over there" (or getting ready to) and a few of them I've met were coming home. I never go by without letting these people know that many people here at home, whom they have never met, care deeply about them, worry for them, wish them a swift and safe return, and thank them for their service. I hope these people never ever want for their fellow Americans respect and concern. And I hope that if you are reading this that you will reach out to these people when you see them in your own life, shake their hand, thank them for the job they do, and let them know in some small but sincere way that you care. You'll be doing that person and yourself a great deal of good in the process....See MoreBad Behavior
Comments (4)If we all just respected each other's opinions we could still hae good debates without all the drama. Some people don't spray. I spray occasionally. Others spray regularly. That's fine with me. They are your roses in your yard. Do what works for you. When you share your experiences we all learn something. But don't attack some one else for sharing their experiences just because they differ from yours. Sounds simple but it itsn't....See MoreWhy I didn't think of this sooner I don't know...
Comments (5)I cut hansa rose back this year.. it was blooming at the top of seven feet canes, fine for me, but no so great for my wife. She loves the smell of this rose, plus behind it I planted John Davis, the were both the same hieght and it looked odd. Normally do not cut rogusas back, but honestly, it looks soooooooooooooo much better now. the foilage has filled in and you cant tell I hacked it in half, its around 4.5 feet now and the increased light has prompted John Davis to grow up even further.

Comments (3)Hi JR, I'm a little surprised that these previously established plants haven't bloomed for you after 18 months. They prefer full sun, so hopefully you have them in a sunny spot. If they are iris, I'm sure you will enjoy them. They are pretty much no-fuss plants. We would love to see pictures of your blooming plants this spring! Janice...See Moreboncrow66
