Do you grow roses named after people you don't like?
Comments (150)I'd probably hesitate a moment or two if the rose name evoked a negative reaction. And the marketers are aware of this. They don't want to have a namesake which most people would avoid. For example, years ago there was a cute lil' rose bush named after someone in the royal British family. "Fergie" to be exact. Welllll, soon after the introduction of that rose the real Fergie was photographed poolside while having her toes sucked by someone (not her husband). Needless to say this created a hubbub in the news and a somewhat negative association with the rose shrub. The marketers quickly changed the name of the shrub to "Sunseeker". That cracks me up every time I think of it. But while we have grown accustomed to the names of our roses, non-rose fanatics are simply unaware and my friends find it wildly amusing when I say something like, "That's George Burns! Isn't he looking good this year?" What IS in a name anyway? My last name is Butcher and it's prevented me from seeking employment as a baby sitter, veterinarian or even a medical examiner. But it is a great name for a hockey player....See MoreDo you like Ailanthus altissima ? Is it worth to grow?
Comments (64)i personally love the smell but this tree is extremely invasive it reproduces through the seed but also new trees sprout from the roots witch run very long. i have a bunch in my backyard, and i had no clue what they were until i went to use it in my compost pile since there was so much. I ripped up the leaves and smelled a strong peanut butter smell, and had to research what i was dealing with. it was brought over from Asia and is used to treat baldness, to mental illness. im going to be doing some essential oil extraction of this tree to test the effect of topical applications, eating it, and smoking it. {DO NOT ATTEMPT THE SMOKING TEST YOURSELF IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG IT WILL GO WRONG VERY FAST}...See MoreDo you like celery? do you grow celery?
Comments (8)I use celery very often, if I want to plant, the quick way is to buy celery with the roots at the oriental market, you can also root regular celery cutting the bottom and root it in water or soil. I make the best celery salad, I use the whole bunch of celery thinly sliced, green peppers, thinly sliced onions, meyer lemon sections, parsley and cilantro. With or without feta and egg.

Comments (11)First your pots are too tall. You need shorter pots. You also need to use proper cactus potting soil. Read up on cactus care. You are having a drainage problem. If you are watering your plants more than once a month after October it's too much. If you are in a Northern Climate I would look into a Climate Lamp. Your photo shows you just aren't getting enough light. If you have a southern facing window that would be best. Get them outside as early in the spring as you can....See More- 7 years ago

7 years agoI don't grow it, but we use it for Asian dishes...mostly a Hmong spicy soup called Ka Poon. It is a type of curry with very bold flavors (ginger, lemon grass, red curry, banana blossom, bamboo shoots, chicken, cilantro, onion, coconut milk, chicken). We take a Kaffir branch with leaves, bruise the leaves, then toss the entire thing into the pot. Unbelievably delicious.
