Don't forget your nitrogen!
Q
Comments (31)
Hi Sherry, Have you ever tried adding native nitrogen-fixing plants to your rosebeds? I don't know much (like zip!) about Florida natives that fix nitrogen, but I found a few pretty quickly on a Google search--the small partridge pea (annual) and Elliott's milk pea (perennial). Both of these were on the website of the Florida Native Plant Society (link is below). Maybe this wouldn't do a lot, but it might give just a little boost to the soil so your roses could possibly benefit from mini snacks throughout the year. I use a variety of nitrogen-fixers in my garden. Many are California natives, with some non-natives that like the climate here. I have palo verdes (love this tree so I have 3 Parkinsonia 'Desert Museum'), Lotus scoparius (deerweed), Lotus crassifolius otayensis (Otay lotus), pink fairy duster (Calliandra eriophylla), Santa Catalina Island Mountain Mahogany (Cercocarpis traskiae), lots of California lilac (Ceanothus cyaneus, spinosus, tomentosus, 'Snow Flurry', 'Zanzibar', 'Lemon Ice', 'Diamond Heights', 'All Gold'), as well as non natives like white Bauhinia, various clovers, Austrian winter peas, birdsfoot trefoil, etc. Guess I'm just a lazy gardener who would rather not have to add stuff to the garden if the plants can do my work for me.;) My plants are lucky to get a little fish emulsion--although a small number get a mild powdered organic fertilizer occasionally. Many plants I feed nothing. Don't know how successful this would be in a much different climate/soil. Here I have mostly sandy loam, with some strips of the garden being clay or sand. Both the soil and water are alkaline and rainfall is low. The only problem being that the city water is high in boron with varying effects on plants.

Susan, I would love to see your rose garden one day. I do hope you will have a time some year where you can have a bunch of GWers to your garden. I can think of nothing I would like better than to see your roses live and in person.

Don't Forget Your Peas!
Q
Comments (38)
I've always direct sown my peas in the garden mid to late May. They grow so fast they always have enough time to produce before the heat of the summer sets in. If you choose to ws, I'd plant in individual cups that can be spaced apart. My sis-in-law planted a flat of them early indoors last year and ended up with a tangled mess by the time she could plant them out. I think they literally grow inches a day. :)

And Mark and Elena proved penetration is impossible with clothes on, so she got out from underneath him and told him to finish himself. None of them seem to care how they are portraying themselves. Well, maybe Kevin is beginning to regret his actions. I'm almost positive his hand slide down into the back of Christmas's pants.

If you go to weatherchannel.com and type in your zipcode, you can see what time Moonrise is. I looked yesterday, 8:59 I'll be outside looking, although we're expecting partly cloudy skies tonight, darn it. Super Moons are very cool!

It won't be till later though that it reaches the closest point, according to the article on weatherchannel
"At 11:34 p.m., the moon will be about 221,802 miles from Earth. That's about 15,300 miles closer than average."

Here I thought that you were referring to a fairly weighty person shifting some of his clothing ...to lay bare some of himself.

After all the beautiful weather we've had this spring, of course there are dense clouds tonight. I'll be looking up anyway.

DS just saw it from his house. I'm waiting for it to come out from behind my neighbors tree.

Too much foilage to see it right now. Can only see it shining. Maybe later before I head to bed.

I saw it, but will be better able to see it closer to 11:30 PM when it will be higher in the sky.

My neighbors prolly think I am nuts now. LOL, just came back in from howling at the moon.

I had to walk across the street, to get a good look at it. To many trees between me and the moon in the back yard.

Sure is big, round, and bright.

Well, I know, it isn't 10:30 yet, but I am tired and turning in.

Good night all

It is full tonight and brighter but I can't really say it is bigger. Looks great though.

I was expecting it to be really big, like a Harvest Moon only bigger. It was awfully bright and pretty though.

It would look bigger at moonrise than higher in the sky - it appears the largest closest to the horizon.
