This is a great idea! It will give others a chance to do a house. And it will allow those who haven't been able to do theirs to pass it on so that it can become a Junktion House. Mine is almost finished. Been quite a journey, and will share pics soon. I'm hoping to redeem myself, and after that I'd like to do another one! I already have my idea going :-) Yes I'm serious, I've had a ball with this project. Even enlisted Hubby's help. Will be sending to Kathy/TMG very soon. The other good thing about it is that I had to finally get more organized in my basement in order to reclaim my craft area, That part was not fun lol. Thanks Kathy/Primrose for this great idea! Kathy/TMG will receive even more cool real estate for Junktionville from some of GJ's talented crafters! Good save for the project. ~tenderlee

Lets get this off the top of the list.

I have spent the entire day doing more research in this forum, helpmefind and concerning what happened to my roses. I definitely do think I damaged more than the DARes - with that extra spray routine I did on Monday with Daconil and Malathion. The reason is that I sprayed a lone climber far away from the rose garden and when I checked it this morning - it had the same burnt at the edge of the leaf look to a couple of it's leaves. It is Climbing Blaze and really only two leaves looked burnt. I have just about decided to no longer even spray for insects and would like to think I could do the same for fungus/black spot. Unfortunately - I had another problem crop up today. I posted pictures in another thread of my round Drift garden (3 years old) and the damaged buds on every bush. This happened literally overnight. I am waiting for opinions from this same forum and hope you all will go take a look. I fear spider mites. I am sure no animal ate the tops of these tiny buds out - a rabbit would have to be pretty crafty and agile to manage getting just the tops and not damaging any branches. I also have read so much about using oils - but not to use them if the temperature gets too hot - well, it was 85 here the last two days. I will NOT be spraying malathion or Daconil anymore - these leaves look so messed up and I only can hope that the bushes will recover. i am still getting yellowing at the bottoms of many of my bushes and pulling off the yellow leaves as they drop or turn completely yellow. I did water with a strong stream every bush this morning - thinking that possibly some of the insecticide/fungicide spray I sprayed on Monday would possibly be removed. Thank you everyone for any advice and attention you have given this issue. I know I am having beginners problems and with my bare root garden - if they can just make it to growing a healthy root system - maybe they will survive all of this. The dirt was prepared very well by my husband - who is a total green thumb and Biologist - but he says roses are over his head!! Thank you! Denise
