My David Austin bare roots arrived today & I am very disappointed
Comments (36)Nik, I know that Americans farther South than my zone 6a do plant in the Fall but I have had no personal experience with warmer zones. However, from my zone North (and that's a lot of territory), Fall planting is not a viable option. In August it is too hot to plant, getting in the high 80s and then the first frosts come about the first or second week in October. Four to five weeks is not enough time for the roses to get established and prepare for the hard frosts soon to come. Our last frost date is May 15, so that is about 7 months. Usually we have snow cover then it melts, then more snow cover and on and on through the winter. This is especially bad because repeated freezing and thawing cycles heave plants out of the ground. A constant snow cover, which we do not have, would prevent that and in addition would be protective insulation, keeping the plants near 32 F instead of the -10F air temperatures normal for this zone. It may be difficult for most Europeans to sense the degree and duration of cold that we experience, Scandinavian countries and Scotland excepted. When I read English gardening books that say a plant is cold hardy, I have to remember they mean that it will survive in a zone much warmer than mine. Most of England is zone 8! Compare the Hardiness Zone maps on Garden Web of Europe versus The United States. The color of the zones give a more intuitive feel for the difference in climate.

Comments (22)Ladybugs are worth it if you can keep them around when they are finished feasting. In other words, establishing an insectary for them and other beneficials to "hang out" and reproduce/overwinter/have a food source(nectar) when there's no more "meat"(aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars, etc.) Research IPM(Integrated Pest Management) or head on over to the IPM forum. Corn, sunflowers, daisies, marigolds, poppies, borage, bachelor buttons, cilantro, alfalfa, parsley, allysum, dill, wild carrots(to name a few) are good beneficial attractive plants. You want to encourage the beneficials to overwinter so you're not having to constantly buy them the next year. Lacewings are also very effective on aphids et al As far as your perlite is concerned, you don't want the small stuff -- you want coarse perlite. I get mine from a local nursery.. 5 cf/$16. But Home depot sells it in big bags 2 or 3 cf/$17. Good luck. Kevin This post was edited by woohooman on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 20:18...See MoreYikes.....root canal is in my future!
Comments (31)I've had several and its nothing to fear. There's some discomfort during the numbing process with the needle, but after it takes effect, you don't feel any pain. It is a 2 step process. For the first session, the root of the tooth is cleaned out and a temporary plug installed. An impression may be taken if a restorative crown is needed. The dentist sent me home with a prescription for a narcotic pain killer in case I needed it. However, in my case, the area stayed numb for a couple of hours and after that, I did not need any more pain management. In a week or two after the dentist is sure there is no infection in the tooth, he'll remove part of the temporary plug and install the permanent filling. If a crown is to be fitted, he may install a post on which to secure the crown. In many cases, the second session can be done without numbing since there will be no nerves in the tooth. The cost varies considerable depending on what is needed. The lowest cost is for a simple root canal and no work on the tooth, The next level up is if a crown has to be installed and the metal chosen for it (gold alloy is the most expensive). The 3rd cost level is when a ceramic crown (with post) is installed. I recently had this type since the entire top of my tooth broke off at the gum line. I mentioned that it was a 2 step process, but it can be more if the bone socket is infected around the tooth. The dentist will take measures to insure the infection is cleared up before proceeding (after the first step). This can take 2 to 3 weeks and the tooth is opened each time, inspected, and packed with medicine until the infection is gone....See More
