For specific colors in Lenten Roses, I have ordered from Heronswoodnursery.com. Have also found some white ones at the big orange box(HD), but you have to buy them in bloom, as they aren't marked with specific colors. I also buy from a small mail-order nursery in Decatur, GA, ECO Gardens. He doesn't have an active web-site, but has printed list. e-mail him at eco-gardens@mindspring.com(Don Jacobs) and request specific info on what you want.This man has 25+ years experience in growing and hybridizing Helleborus and offers some unequaled beauties for sale(Not cheap, but un-available anywhere else). Typically, Lenten Roses(and most Helleborus) prefer a circumneutral to slightly alkaline soil, but I've had great success growing them under pine trees. I always mix a large hand-ful of dolomitic lime into the soil before planting and that seems to make them happy. Good Luck! Rb

One variety of thunbergia is called blackeyed susan vine. By pest i assume he means it is aggressive, spreads a lot and is hard to control. It is aggressive. In the situation you show in your picture, it should be easy to control. It can't grow anywhere but up and over the top. There is nothing for side shoots to attach to, so would be easy to keep pruned. Blue Jade and red jade vine is similar, but much slower and easier to control and has striking blooms. The blooms make outstanding lei's. Passion Fruit; but, that is more aggressive than thunbergia. Pothos (Epiprumnum pinnatum) is a basic. Leaves will grow to 18" long or more. They are green and white or all green. Very neat by itself, or could be mixed with other vines. Some of the Philodendron's. Jasmine, but you would have to keep winding it through the fence. Tomato. Check these out and let me know. Good luck. Phil

Yes. THANK YOU!! Its people like you that take that tiny bit of extra effort to actaully find all the 'gems' here, that restore my faith in this forum. To just grab some text from posts, you can also use keyboard commands. Pressing control and the letter 'C' copies text you highlight into a hidden clipboard. Then you can paste the text into a program like Word Pad or other text reader. The PASTE function is done by pressing the control and 'V' key. Highlighting text is easy to do. Place the mouse pointer at the beginning of the intended text, while holding the left mouse button, you move down the text on the page which highlights it what you want to copy. After that, the control C is used to copy, and control V is used to paste elsewhere. My red pepper spread used balsamic vinegar, as well as roasted onions and roasted garlic. All were done on a gas grill with mesquite to add a bit of smokey taste.

Welcome Wanda, I am fairly new as well and have found everyone here helpful, friendly and talented. I am also in Canada but am American. My father transferred here and I married a Canadian and stayed. I live in Campbellville, Ont. My sister just moved back to Ontario after spending almost 20 years in Bridgewater, N.S. My sewing these days is mostly quilting and crafts. I used to make alot of clothes for myself and children but don't do much of that anymore. Enjoy and I am sure you will have alot to offer the rest of us Mary
