It's official. They are urban terrorists!
Comments (44)Hmm... Well if you add enough spices, you can eat anything! I don't even want to think about some of the "meat" that I've had in spicy dishes in Asia! ;~) As long as it's stopped moving and doesn't try to talk to me... I'm so mad! One of my worst rual terrorists got away last night! :~( I set my trap with a duck egg and finally caught another fox. It was 11'ish and I left dealing with it for today. I'd been out doing fence repairs and just wanted to shut down for the night. This morning, it was gone!:~0 They aren't suppose to be able to get out of these. With the ponds getting lower and lower, my few ducks left...will be no ducks left! We did have a truce until they started raiding the poulty and gardens so badly! One or two were fine, but now I have a ravenous horde! Fortunately, they don't seem interested in orchids. Although, I wonder if they've been diggin' in my Cyps!...See MorePlanting roses in groups? Best practices?
Comments (14)We have a small hill located on left side of the front yard which I felt was a prime location for modern roses. It is facing east and could probably have the space large enough for 50 mature HTs. It has a fence at one end that could take at least 5 climbers. Thus, when I realized I had the inclination to grow modern roses, I went to my wife to pitch this brilliant idea. I told her that I wanted to go back to painting as a hobby but my motor skills have left me. But I told her that I could use the hill instead as my canvas and the rose as my medium for this "painting". Further, it is going to a dynamic one, the flushing of the roses will give it movement. Stunned, she thought for a moment, and then she said ok. It has been 8 years since then. I have toiled hard to get to a collection matching the painting in my head. I tried to use 3 roses of the same shade, instead of 3 of the same roses. I had to do this to give me flexibility in facilitating softer transition between colors and still get good definition. Each year, after the 3rd year, my wife would ask when my "painting" will be complete. I always replied, "IÂm close". Yearly kills, removal of under and non- performing plants, wrong color or height etc, makes it an impossible and daunting task. The best compliment I received so far from a buddy was "it must be hard to negotiate between bushes". My good neighbor calls it "roses in steroids". My other neighbor thinks the cumulative scent is too much. So, I continue to work at it until somebody says "you know, that could be a nice painting." Lesson is be brave and have fun....See MorePruning group 2's as group 3's experiment
Comments (20)Blackie, so it is...Thanks. I have it listed wrong on my chart. Suzy, Good memory. They promised scaffolding (and is one reason why I picked them), but they did not come through. They did temporary ladder to ladder scaffolding from time to time, but there was still constant ladders in and out of all the beds. The tri-clematis wall was the tightest space and got the most damage, but I'm hoping the plants will be back to normal next year. They also stepped on an emerging martagon lily that suffered a lot. And some emerging hosta tips got bent resulting in torn foliage. And this was with them being extra careful where they stepped due to the obsessive gardener/homeowner in their midsts! If we could have done it in March as planned, it would have been fine. The timing was super close. Mounting the painted trellises back up on the wall was the very last step. Niobe was growing in leaps and bounds those last few days. The bottom of the trellis was covered in Niobe as soon as it was mounted. The bad part about the painting job is that they might have to come back in the fall to redo some spots that the primer did not adhere to well and got some blistering. I think I would rather take the risk of the paint peeling than have to deal with painters again :-)...See MoreUPDATE: fabulous favorites robin - green group
Comments (23)Hi Ladies....I had an opportunity to take a look at the box last evening and let me tell you that whoever decorated the outside of the box with the Robin and the birdhouse theme really did a nice job! It is too cute! I am very impressed with all of your generous contributions to the RobinÂwhich will ultimately be passed on and shared by those of you who will be participating in the second Robin! But most of allÂI am very appreciative of the envelopes you girls enclosed which contained your favorite seeds just for me. These seeds/flowers, which I will grow in a special place in my garden next summer, will remind me of your kindness and willingness to share with meÂa stranger, but yet a fellow gardening friend to you all. Thanks so much ladiesÂyou were magnificent participators and I hope you all enjoyed the Robin. It's been my sincere pleasure to have shared with you all and coordinate the Fabulous Favorites Robin. I will be in touch when the BLUE ROBIN returns home and promises more fun to come! Hurry BLUE group! - Lisa - Lisa...See Morejust_terrilynn
