Roses not growing - boy, am I stupid!
Q
Comments (10)
Thanks so much for all of the good suggestions! Cass, I do intend to test the PH and do some investigating. At the moment, however, we are in the middle of "de-bagging" and "de-tying up", and pruning, mulching, re-tying up, and feeding all of our roses and other plants all around our house, because the scaffolding is finally down (yay!), and the painters have moved on to the garage. So, I don't have lots of time right now to spend on these containers, and my main concern is to see if I can feed & water them enough to make the roses happier, and then I will play Sherlock Holmes later. I did think of the water issue when I noticed they were not growing, so I have been giving them extra water for a while. I felt so guilty when I thought of the PH issue that I went out and bought a bunch of that MAXSEA plant food (the kind for acid loving plants) , which is really expensive, but will be worth it if it works on the others as it is working on Susan Louise. Thinking about it, if pour planting soil was the issue, that might explain the immediate response to the food, although I was giving them normal food before. We have had the "soil horizon" issue here before, because our soil is very much clay. Last year I transplanted a Margo Koster, which died within 6 months. When we dug it up we discovered that in digging it a "big hole" what we had really done was dig it a bathtub that didn't drain, because the clay was so dense. Anyway, that certainly might be an issue. However, the 7 containers are all over the garden, and in some places are in beds that have been amended & planted for decades, where the soil is in pretty good shape. I will keep you posted on what I find out, and how they do with their new food. Thanks again for all of the good suggestions. jackie

Check out the ultrasound picture of my baby BOY!

What a great picture. I am at 24 and a half weeks and we went in last week and for the third month in a row the baby had his legs crossed at the ankles and the umbelical cord was between is legs. So we still don't know what it is. We have decided on a different name than Hudson for a girl, it will be Madden. Now to wait another 3 weeks for another ultrasound. On the other hand my sis goes in for implantation of 2 embryos so will be waiting to find out if they take. Stacie Girlsingardens

O/T Some Things I Love
Q
Comments (25)
I don't think I've ever seen poppies of that fabulous color. I love, love purple roses and all purple flowers. The poppies go beautifully with your roses. Diane, can you tell me the names of the roses with your poppies? The purple one on the right especially intrigues me. Lisa, my young roses never look that good! Yours are gorgeous. Lois, I had Harlow Carr at one time and it fried in my dry heat. Yours makes me want mine back again, but of course you have a lot more humidity. Lisa, my previous cat, now sadly gone, was also my outdoor companion and I enjoyed that so much. I could trust him to stay with me and not wander off. I miss that with Lacey, but she's not at all used to the outside, and if she saw a lizard or bird she'd be gone in a minute. Every animal is different and one can never replace another. They all have their own unique little personalities. Your pictures are all so fabulous.

Sharing a pic of the beautiful rescue boy I transported Saturday
Q

You can't imagine how wonderful it makes me, and the other volunteers feel, when we do this for a deserving dog or two or three... As I sat at the turnpike Park n Ride waiting for the driver before me to meet me there, I saw many other cars pulling up, and other lucky dogs from other organizations getting into the next car, either to continue their journey or go home with the person picking them up. I'll admit to other pet lovers that I had happy tears in my eyes as I watched those dogs jump around on grass, get a drink, and continue their journey to a loving home. I 'failed' on my very first transport, when suddenly asked if I could foster her for a few days, as the head of NEBR had to go to MA to pick up a large un-neutered male who was heartworm positive. I did, and when that little girl greeted me with kisses, and jumped into my car, it was all over. Brought her home, and my three at the time welcomed her, and I asked if I could adopt her. My BIL said that I did great on the 'transport', but failed the 'delivery' part! Who could turn down this face??
