Jean, this forum is for off-topic posts, which means for things other than roses. It doesn't get much traffic anymore, so if you repost your question on the other side, the Roses Forum, you will get lots more replies. BTW, beware of answers from posters in warm parts of the country. Since you want climbers, you'll want to choose a rose that is reliable CANE hardy (not just hardy enough to come back and re-grow after winter knocks it back.) Look at the Canadian Explorer roses like John Davis, Capt. Samuel Holland: or, Marie Victorin for example. You'll have no problem with them covering your fence year after year. You'll find them hardy and although you may not have constant flowering, you will get good reblooming through the season. Plus there should be no need to spray them for disease. Be ready to give them about 3 years to mature in size - and then enjoy! Good luck, Anne

Hardening off my seedlings is the hardest part for me. The weather is nice here right now, so I'm trying to harden them off. They will go into garden about same time as yours. I wouldn't worry about the size of pepper plants, just make sure they are fully used to being in sun.

If the soil is peaty, I'd repot it again now too. With those *GIANT* windows, anything that doesn't require significant direct sun should do well. If you plan to live there indefinitely, (I'd have to be dragged out, kicking & screaming...) and you'd enjoy more plants, you might look at a few that are usually too big for the average home/window, like Monstera deliciosa, and bird of paradise (Strelitzia, there are several diff species.) Trees like various types of Dracaena, Schefflera (actinophylla is the bigger one,) and China doll (Radermachera) are usually fairly easy to find. Palms! I need to click submit now before I start rhapsodizing about the plants you could hang...!

Oh sorry. Thanks. How do I delete this?
