I'm looking for sky rocket or sky pencil seedlings. These are conifers. Anyone that has them and is willing to do a trade or for postage please contact me. Thanks Debbie

We installed this amazing Sky Gold 2cm quartzite in our new kitchen reno about 4 months ago. I did tons of research and felt we knew what we were getting into, especially because of the cost. These pictures do not do it justice, and we love it, but last week we noticed these marks on the side of the sink. They look like an imprint or something bleached in. The surface is still smooth, so I feel like it's not 'etched'. We have no idea what it's from, but we do put down a drying mat for our dishes sometimes, and the pattern resembles the mat (but not exactly - I'm desperately grasping for what this could be). We don't use bleach on the countertops, but I did leave a bottle of vinegar for salad sitting overnight—again, I am grasping for what could have caused this. All to ask, does anyone know of some magic solution to lift this very bright white stain out of the counter (I tried a baking soda poultice for a few hours, but nothing). Help? :)

Does anyone grow Sky's the Limit or Goldbusch in zone 5 or colder? If so how to they do with cane hardiness, growthhabit and repeat? Full bush pictures much appreciated.

Vaporvac, the swap is always listed on the Rocky Mountain Gardening forum and is very informal. Someone volunteers to host. People agree on a date. Everyone brings food for a potluck and whatever extra plants they have. I like it because I can see what does really well for our area. How big did your Belinda's Blush get for you? Was it thornless as described? I have one coming and have to pick a place for it. We're going to try roses in our mulch bed again, but only thornless ones so as not to snag anyone. Freedom Gardens looks like a great place to visit! You can really see how a rose will do in your climate. Sam CO z5, keep an eye out for a fall swap. There isn't much interest in the group for roses. My Chuckles rose and a Harrison Yellow were the only two roses. However, I did give away my Above All and two of my Chuckles rose in advance. I brought a Sally Holmes rose once and no one took it, not even in the free for all.
