At a complete loss
Comments (6)Relax. You probably are smothering your plants with love. When you water, do it so that the soil is wet to at least 6 inches. Once a week is usually enough. Remember that we old timers depended entirely on rainfall. Dolomite is a soil conditioner not a fertilizer. Wont do any harm but does not contain any Nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium. You may need a bit of nitrogen, but likely it is your watering pattern. Lots of corn varieties have red stems, some cabbage. Collards are a winter vegetable here, so I don't know if some have red stems in the spring....See MoreLamenting the Loss of Historic Roses
Comments (19)(You know, it's really hard to type when one is hopping up and down in one's desk chair.) This is why I LOVE a world-wide Internet community. Here I sit in Virginia, frustrated at the lack of availability of something here in the US, and one of our friends from Sweden opens the door to another possibility. Ann, I will leave the quest for Dr. E. M. Mills to you and Ron. Please let me know how things proceed. I've thought about the loss of roses a lot this past few days. Take a look at the incidents of shovel-pruning that are being reported all over the Rose Forums now, and one can easily see where a rose can be all but lost. We have limited space to garden, and sometimes one rose must leave in favor of new one. At one time, it appears that Radiance and her sports were the height of fashion -- now we have Gemini, and Moonstone, and Let Freedom Ring . . . and whatever the latest and greatest is this year on the show bench. Don't perceive this as a dig against newer HTs, because I grow them and I love many of them. (Gemini, however, left my garden two years ago -- some of my exhibitor friends were confused at that decision. I don't regret it a bit.) Also, rose growers have always been bombarded by marketing. Buy THIS rose . . . use THIS product . . . (snake oil, anyone?) As time passes, and fashion fades, good roses continue to please us in our gardens. I would just love to see, and possibly grow, some of the roses that were considered garden-worthy at various other times. My list above is just a representative sample, since it came from only one reference. I could go on and on, as I sit and make lists from other books . . . for example, where are all the other Brownell numbered pillar roses? Back to the sub-subject of roses available other places in the world . . . who would one talk to, or where would one find, the rules for legal importation of roses into the US. I know it can be done, under certain strict procedures which, I'm sure, vary according to the country the roses come from -- but I have no idea where to even start to research this. Anyone know?

Comments (2)With a couple of weeks of work (picking up/raking up all of the flotsam of oak), rototilling, cutting out anew the beds, regrading, replanting and with the benefit of some hindsight, it wasn't as bad as intially thought. In fact, the 10' dogwood that was literally slammed and knocked down (I've since righted, cut out a lot of the lower branches, see the huge scraping of the trunk in two spots (crossing my fingers) and staked it with the hopes that it will recover). Most of the hostas, var. solomon seal have been dug up (in order to regrade the bed) and then replanted. While Rh. Goldflimmer, Rh. Pioneer Silvery Pink, Rh. April Dawn, Rh. September Song are 'history', I've reorderd some things from Rare Finds to take their respective places: Rh. Augustinii 'Bergs Hardy Form', a couple of Kalmias' - Sarah and Peppermint, along with Skimmia Japonica, Rh. Anna Kruschke (sp) and Rh. Rosemarie (another purple lep). Contractor to start working on the house come Tuesday. We slowly limp back to some semblance of life. Just finished applying cedar mulch, and I'm much happier seeing what's been spared and with some TLC, hopefully will rebound, though it will take a minimum of 2 years to regain some semblance of flowering on some of the maimed (Rh. Redwood, Rh. Kalinka, Rh. Southland, Rh. Bakerii, and an unknown late June flowering Kalmia)....See MoreRugs... I'm at a loss... please help
Comments (18)Les - you are right that there is another opening to the room that comes from the entry hall. the one problem that I will be having with the rug is that NOTHING in the room is centered - b/c of the opening the sofa is not directly in front of the fp. The FP is 8ft wide. If I place the rug centered with the FP it will have a foot on each side and will sit just under the legs of the Loveseat and will cover to just the end of the sofa on the other wall. I don't know if that makes any sense - but I am attaching a pic that shows the entry way opening into the LR. We now have base molding up but I don't have any new pics. We do want to get some kind of a coffee table/ottoman. I am thinking more of an ottoman. We like to put our feet up. I just hate that the couches have to be so far apart - but the ottoman is moveable - and I was also thinking of getting 2 small square ones that can be tucked away and taken out for extra seating or if we have people over and are watching a movie - they would be able to put their feet up. I will look into getting something that is from the carpet store. Here are some that I have found on HDs site. Eloquence dark gold Mohawk Solid Squares - Biscuit Mohawk Constellation-Teak Mohawk Frise Shag Black (looks just like the teak one on the computer As for decorating and accessorizing. I definetely need help with that. Finding the right scale of artowrk and accessories has been hard. Dh and I were living in a small house (only 700sq ft) and everythng looked huge there - once we moved in here we realized everything was so small. So I am always looking for new accessories for the mantle and the walls. Ruth...See Morespringroz
