shasta, I hope I didn't read it on this thread :-) but no one mentioned digging them up in any of the discussion I read about it. You just leave them where they are. I don't know everything, but I covered mine with chicken wire (read that somewhere, they'll grow through it) so the squirrels wouldn't dig them up. Then I had to cut some of it away this spring because it was cramping some of the tulips, haven't bothered covering it with mulch but should if I leave it. I think I'll take it off after the leaves die back and take my chances. I don't see anybody else doing that. As usual, the squirrels and/or chipmunks are messing with my stuff, gotta cut more chicken wire for all my planters. I love the critters but am really cross with them at this point. I think I did check back on the bulb forum with another question I had. Someone wanted to know if you could transplant tulips now. I can't remember the answer to that exactly - I wouldn't - would wait until fall, but they were talking those bulblets. One opinion is they take so long to mature and bulbs are cheap but you can grow those, sounds like a hassle. We'll see what happens with mine. There was an opinion that those grown in shadier spots are less likely to come back. Clunk. That could be mine on the east side of the house that don't even get a full morning of sun because of trees. Anyway, you might want to try it, and it's probably not too late to give them some bloom booster now for when they quit blooming for the food storage process, couldn't hurt. Your tulips are really pretty. And I still love your jug ghetto. Mine aren't thick like that because the germination is more in patches. But a visual is a great help and tells me to uncover mine (it is still getting pretty chilly here at night and I've got vent holes in mine). Now I'm seeing peoples' photos here, and I'm not seeing vent holes in the top part of the jug. Maybe they are just small and don't show. I will let them grow on until they get more like yours, more likely to transplant more easily than smaller ones. Also I decided if I reuse the jugs next year, I'm going to follow the packaging tape suggestion. I had a terrible time getting the duct tape off the 3 I did, white duct tape no less. I was thinking I could cut around it with my exacto knive and just put more over it again. You must have a lot of room for all those plants! I hope I'm around and you post pictures when you get the flowers blooming. I'm really hurting with a fairly small yard and few sunny spots because I love trees, too, and would have more if I could. I was thinking of some of the photos I've seen where people have acres to work with and told myself I'd better be thankful for what I do have!

Angelclub, Now that I redid my 5" wide floors with the long boards (BR-111 Brazilian Cherry Engineered) since I had water damage in my home with Triangulo 3.25" wide boards that were all so short, I am disappointed in how the installers installed the floors in certain very noticeable areas with seams lined up and patterns instead of random and stacking similar colors to make long boards look longer. I did not know what you meant when you mentioned you like to be involved as you like floors to be random and now I totally see what you mean. I wish I could redo a section of my new floors. I also now wish I went with the wider boards only because they were longer. This post popped up in my email box as someone like a comment I made so I was happy to reread the comments.

I agree with what Jackie said. But of course I have to add my own 2¢ worth. Lots of plants can sucker, not just roses. My tree-form-trained crape myrtle sent up suckers from the root for its first 10 years or so, and still tries now and then. There are 4 redwood trees near our house and I cut root suckers off those All.The.Time. In my personal experience, the worst offenders in the rose world are the gallicas and the rugosas, also pretty much any kind of species rose. Damasks and albas follow after that. Rose de Rescht will sucker after it is well established. So will Grandmother's Hat, though so far it stays within a foot or two of the base. The difference between own-root suckering and grafted root suckering is that if you allow a grafted plant to sucker from the rootstock, it will eventually kill the scion rose and the rootstock will take over. With own root suckering you just get more of the same rose. Sometimes more than you want. I am having a similar problem with one of my oranges, 'Midnight', a Valencia-type orange. It must be less vigorous than my other oranges because it is the only one that is doing this. I've had to cut off rootstock suckers several years in a row, and boy, that rootstock is nasty to handle. Two inch thorns all over! Rosefolly
