Yeah Hazel, good for you! Poor camera, hope you didn't tell Jim off too much? It's done well to root at this time of the year I guess as its decidely cooler here today. Your cutting should be fine now its rooted, would be careful with the watering though. Has it held onto any leaves or is it bare? Would be tempted to keep it on heat mat for a while and maybe water VERY sparingly just to get those roots a bit stronger....is that right experts?? Good luck with the others. Oh Hazel...just a reminder...if you do use a heat mat/propagator...don't whatever you do put it on the windowcill, I hear they can turn white UPVC into a very fetching shade of pink before your very eyes! ; Â¬ ) Gill.

Brutuses, I love the way you had light come in but still with lots of privacy with the shutters you chose. They look wonderful in your laundry room with that beautiful wall color. What color is in your laundry room on the walls? I know you chose Rich Cream for your living room and I am also considering that color for one of my rooms to repaint. I also want to repaint my laundry room that is now Bone White (a neutral color I love in many rooms but not in my laundry room that has no windows in it. I want a cheery color). The painter did a very poor job in the last few years, so now I have to repaint but at least I learned a lot and I am willing to be more daring. I love all the colors you chose for your home.

As a fellow sufferer of middle age (beats the alternative) the sagging isn't going to stop (as any number of pulled to tight, frozen faced celebrities can attest). I wouldn't do tile, it won't give with the next sag. Get something easy to stand on that will give a little f something else should settle or sag. It will be better for you in the long run. Cork and linoleum offer lots of versatility, great colour choices and may set off you beautiful cabinetry better than more wood.

You have such beautiful roses seil! I didn't think Michigan & Wisconsin had much different temps--in fact I thought you guys were even colder than us. Reason I say that is now all my 12 bushes look leaved out, getting bigger & green & healthy--but only buds thus far--no roses. We've only had a handful of warmer days though. Only 59 today so far. Starting today, it is supposed to creep into the 60s up to the 70s by end of week.

Thanks for the pics. Nice hosta, nice rock borders. Love the trillium. I live in the woods so people assume I have trilliums. Nary a one. And the ones I bought wither away and do not return the next year. Are yours wild, do you have any tips?

Look at all of your space and your wonderful gardens! I agree with you re: Liberty, it is my favourite this time of year as well.

I have transplanted trilliums successfully, I have four clumps here in my subdivision garden. hostahosta - do you get plenty of the rhizomes and roots below that? That is the most important thing even if you don't get much of the 'plant'. The following year is when you see them flourish as the year of transplant they will appear to 'die' after transplant in the spring.
