Random greenhouse shots from today
Comments (13)I have at least 2 more weeks to heat the GHs at night. Our last frost date it the 15th of April. But we can get a frost as late as the 20th. On the 20th (give or take a few days) I'll remove them to storage for the summer and we'll put the shade cloths on both GHs....See MoreSome pictures ... including inside greenhouse shots!
Comments (3)Looking good Timbo! Hopefully we will break out of this warm/cold cycle and into a warm/cooler pattern soon so you can get those Bananas in! If the models are right we may be mostly 70s/80s in about a week but we have to get through this weekend first! Love that little Waggie,when did you get it(from where) and how much-if you don't mind.

Comments (9)Thank you both very much for the compliment. Lilyfinch I don't remember when I planted most of my roses. I have 23 antique roses and some knockouts, but the oldest I have is Mrs BR Cant which I planted 8 years ago in the spring, I can't remember if Lamarque and Climbing Pinkie were planted the same year or the next. Once I planted my first 2-3 roses I was addicted and bought usually 3-4 roses every year, I haven't planted any new ones in the past 3 years as I just don't have the time to spend in my garden like I did. I have found my climate here (can't speak for anywhere else as this is the only place I have ever gardened before, but Noisettes (which originated here in Charleston), regular tea roses, China roses and hybrid musk roses tend to thrive quite well and can get quite large fairly quickly for some. Peggy Martin (I did a post on the antique rose forum about this fantastic rose) is a found rose so I don't know what background she has but she seriously thrives on neglect and I do very very little to her. She is believe it or not the youngest rose I have! I have a lot of heavy clay soil so working with it is back breaking and slow which is why I haven't added anymore roses as of recently. I have some roses that grow quicker than others and in my garden here are some of my slow growers; Madame Alfred Carrier is one that is always touch and go, Mrs Dudley Cross, Maggie (I threaten to dig her up every year but she is looking for promising this year so we shall see), Cornelia (another touch and go rose that I have threatened to shovel prune but keep giving her a chance and she too looks better this spring)...While Lamarque, The Charlestonian, Peggy Martin, Belinda (not to be confused with Belinda's Dream), Duchesse de Brabant are among the fastest growing then there's Mrs BR Cant who hardly did a thing the first three years and then took off into one monster of a rose. The rest seem to grow at a fairly normal rate. I had to laugh a bit at your saying hoping to stay long enough, I have wanted to move to a bigger home for awhile but my garden keeps me from doing so, I just can't leave her and anytime I tell someone we were thinking of moving they would gasp and say you can't leave your garden what about all the hard work you have done. My daughter laughes at me because in the winter I'm all about moving, that is till spring comes and I'm like I can never leave. Haha I think she right! But I would say in general it will take about 4 years to have them really start filling out again though it just all depends really in end on a particular rose. ;) So I didn't intend for this to be so long lol, but I hope that helps you some. What roses did you plant if you don't mind my asking? I would love to know! All the best of luck and happy gardening to you!~Meghan...See MoreDrone Shots from around the World
Comments (15)Russia is certainly beautiful, isn't it? And Budapest, with the lovely Danube. How does the hermit get to his little house? I think I saw a ladder, but what a difficult climb! And I'm surprised people can find their way around Barcelona, as so many of the streets and buildings look alike. Mumbai looks like a place of desperation. I saw an aerial shot of Pittsburgh yesterday and was surprised at how beautiful it is. I've never been there. Thanks for sharing, Jemdandy....See Morekaktuskris
