What else I can do for it?
Comments (30)Yes, that is just wrong. Another "COME ON, REALLY!?" Definitely soak the whole thing in water maybe with a little B12, for at least 24 hours. After that, I would cut off the left cane, involved in the break, all the way down to the beg. of the break, wash it, let newly exposed area dry(roots still in water)and seal it with wood glue or varathane or?. It has a lot of healthy "thru way" for nutrients and the canes on it look surprisingly OK! Remember each bud eye is really 3. The far left cane looks dry, but hey, you never know? I would cut canes back a lot, balance out the size of the roots and canes at least. Some people reading this will probably be rolling their eyes at this. But you know what, I love fixing, or trying, things! Having a big doggie, teenage boy, and buying from J&P, shtuff happens. (Yes, I said it.) I think with any huge company the odds are you will see things like this. Chuck Billie, yes my DA "Janet" looked just like that. She is a trooper! Allison Ps when I look at neighborhood roses I always look at the bud union (we plant them above ground here) and it is amazing the nastiness nutrients are getting through and the bush is flourishing. Tough plants in many ways!...See MoreWhat else can I do for my roses?
Comments (28)Thank you, Kentucky Rose. You help me tremendously by your keen observation. I'm grateful for your experience, since it confirms my hunch that the Milorganite (sewage sludge) I test recently, with 4% iron, is causing my roses to break out in B.S. I DID NOT put Milorganite on Frederic Mistral, he broke out in B.S. on bagged cow-manure alone. . Candida Yeast is a fungi. Check out this excerpt from about yeast infection from Livestrong.com website: "At the same time, iron also improves the virulence of the candida species, which is the ability of the pathogen to invade the host or human cells, according to the authors of the study. Another study in the March 2011 issue of the journal "PLOS Pathogens" also points out that individuals taking iron supplements to treat anemia and related disorders have an increased risk of getting candida infections." Another excerpt from below link: "To successfully sustain an infection, nearly all bacteria, fungi and protozoa require a continuous supply of host iron." "Mechanisms of microbial iron acquisition are determinants for the kinds of cells, tissues and hosts in which pathogens can flourish." **** What's wrong with Milorganite I use which cause such break-out of black spots in my roses? Its NPK is 5-2-0, with zero potassium, it's sewage sludge, high in salt. Its 4% iron promotes fungal growth. Thank you, Kentuckyrose, for your info: "I used alfalfa meal for the tea, added Epsom salt, iron granules, and dyna bloom (liquid fertilizer). Last week I put alfalfa pellets and fish meal down and worked it into the soil ... I just can't get rid of the BS." Alfalfa meal pH is 5.7, zero salt. Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is salty, deficiency is rare except in sandy soil ... my clay is tested exceedingly high in magnesium. Fish meal is salty, high in phosphorus (great B.S. inducer). Iron granules is another fungal promoter. Dyna bloom NPK is 3-12-6, super-high in phosphorus, that would zap out the zinc (a strong anti-fungal nutrient). Roses break out in B.S. when they are stressed out, be it too much salt, and not enough potassium. In humans, a low-potassium & high salt diet will cause stroke. In plants, a low-potassium & high salt intake is a fungal promoter, like iron. Mill's Magic is low in potassium, high in Milorganite (salty sewage sludge). Another recipe for black spots. One lady in clay soil & hot climate killed over a dozen of her roses by fertilizing with Mill's Magic monthly. THANK YOU, Kentucky_rose, you helped me with my garden. I'll quit using Milorganite, and return that bag of red-lava rock (high in potassium, plus high iron). I'll go back to what I did last 3 years with very clean roses by using alfalfa NPK 2-1-2 (decent potassium & calcium), then topped with horse manure (pH 8) and high in potassium & calcium. Below is the base of Golden Celebration, picture taken in late October in its 3rd year. It has layers of horse manure & alfalfa meal ... all my roses were clean for 3 years, until I quit that approach.

Comments (14)Being your first time here, you may not have expected the replies you got about your daughter's two rooms. Don't be offended. We mean well. I tend to agree, tho. And not to get personal, but how do you and your hubby have any intimate time together if you're sleeping in the LR? I would at the most, give your daughter the larger room so she does have room to play, but would take the advice of others to store the toys in the same room. Maybe it's time to go thru them and donate the ones she no longer plays with? Kids only play with half of the toys they own, anyway. Involve her in choosing which ones to give away and explain that she is helping kids who have no toys. Make it fun and help her learn that being charitable is a good trait. I'm sure if you google, there's an article on how to do that because I've read about it. That being said, I think you did a bang up job on the white furniture. That is my taste exactly. Shabby-chic and cottage-y. I am single and on a disability budget and my home is about your size. So storage is critical. I do all my furniture shopping at thrift stores. I bought a dresser that I use as a buffet, yet I keep my tools, gardening stuff, plastic storage bowls and seasonal linens in the drawers. I also bought a tall handmade shelving unit with cabinets below for storage and an old console with cabinet type doors for extra counter space in my kitcken (up against a wall) and storage for my crockpot, platters, bowls, mixer, etc. That one I painted but have yet to paint the other two. Rule #1 - paint before you get it in the house and start using it or you will never get around to painting it due to the dilema of where to store all the stuff inside while it's being painted...lol. I've also found new curtains, quilts, pillows, shower curtains, and even Ralph Lauren bed sheets at thrift stores. Target donates lots of stuff to Goodwill. Most of my decorative kitchen stuff and household knicknacks came from thrift stores. Lamps are always cheap and can be spray painted. They make textured metalic spray paint if that's your taste. Just do a good tape job first. They always have lamp shades, too, and many of them are new. I've gotten wall mirrors and done paint treatments on them to make them look shabby chic. You can repurpose sheets to make curtains, pillows, and even a shower curtain if you're handy with a sewing machine. I also got my two sofas from the thrift store. One for $40, the other a pull out bed for $50. For the first one (red checkered...UGH!!) I bought a white slipcover from Uglysofas.com. They sell Pottery Barn slipcovers pretty cheap (they call them Brand X since they can't advertise where they came from). I guess they're seconds but there was nothing wrong with mine. The 2nd couch was actually in perfect condition. It came from a hotel remodel so there were several, along with club chairs to match. I liked the fabric, so it didn't need covered (but I still do...I like the white better). Do you have a Restore Store (Habitat for Humanity) near you? They have soooo much stuff for remodeling, including paint. I buy my drawer pulls from there (which are very expensive at big box stores). Yes, it takes some digging around to find the quantity you need but they really update older painted furniture. And my store has started a thrift store section with furniture, mirrors, lamps, etc. As for paint color....I like the sage green but that's just me. I see you have a blue and pink pillow, so you could pull off that. However, paint isn't cheap so if you can live with the sage, live with it for now and work on making a sanctuary for you and hubby and a nice new LR. Ohhh...i forgot to mention. Are you familiar with Pinterest? If not, you MUST check it out. I've gotten so many decorating ideas from there. It's all visual. Pic, pics, and more pics. You just type in 'shabby chic decorating' for example, or 'cottage bedroom'. I search by color since i have a beach cottage color scheme. So I type in 'aqua shabby chic.' Just saying....if you are thinking of blue, they use blue in your search. You have to sign up to use it but it's no different than signing up for this site. And there are no ads, no spam, nothing !! It's addictive tho....trust me. Looking at beautiful picture is so inspiring. And then you can pin a pic to your 'board' so you can save it. It's like a virtual scrapbook. I LOVE IT !! Well, I've rattled on long enough. I do love your taste and wish you the best in your decorating !!

Comments (0)Planting and maintaining native flowering plants known to attract hummingbirds is always the best option for feeding hummingbirds. The list, both native and non-native, is extensive, but the friendly folks on the Hummingbird Garden forum are always happy to share their knowledge. Check out What Plants Attract Hummingbirds in Your Garden. For a special hummingbird treat, try putting out an opened banana on a plate. The fruit should attract fruit flies, and hummingbirds love to eat fruit flies. (A side benefit to this is that you may also attract a wide variety of butterflies as well.) Hummingbirds like to bathe just as much as any other bird, but prefer water dripping off of leaves or spray coming from sprinklers and pond fountains. Try locating one of the many commercial "misters" amongst a leafy bush or tree. Any number of small birds will enjoy it as much as the hummers....See Morebooberry85
