I think it may be time to take the big guns out!
Comments (16)I give up! :O( My once robust and healthy roses look pitiful now. I spray and I spray and the bugs just keep coming! I'm still going out to find those same bugs still chewing and sucking the life out of my roses. The jps are increasing in number on top of it and the bs is getting worse despite me spraying for it. I've spent a bunch of money already trying to combat the problems and don't know if I should keep trying or just give up and let the roses try to fight it on there own. Duchess de Brabant looks the worse and she is one of my very favorites. She bearly has any leaves on her and the ones she does keep getting attacked by bugs. I have always raved about how healthy this rose was and now you wouldn't know it to look at her. Everyone one of my roses now are effected and look just terrible. :O( I'm just hoping that they can bounce back from this. Mrs B R Cant also has little leaves left as does Hermosa. Their would be tons of blooms I could be enjoying but all and I do mean pretty much all the buds on my roses are being chewed by either thripes, jps, and or those sucking insects. Everytime I go outside to make my rounds of picking and squishing bugs, plucking the bs leaves that have yellowed and cutting infected buds I just want to cry. I'm sorry for blubbering but it is so frustrating and sad to see them looking as they do. I've just never seen it so bad like this before. I don't know what it is. ~Meghan...See MoreI goofed big time!
Comments (2)pippi21, no worries! :) irishdreamer23 responded to an offer I had placed on our Canadian exchange forum. I offered a surprise pack to anyone joining GW in the month of January. I sent off a good sized pack to her on Thursday and she should be receiving it this week. I have traded on a small basis (three or four packs) with US gardeners and never had a problem. Of course a large bubble envelope may be another matter. Not sure what the cost would be for something a lot larger to the US and in response to the 'would anyone like to start a newbie free seeds project for Canadian wintersowers' question,...yes I would love to but not sure how to go about it or if it would go over well. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. :) how about it fellow Canadian WS? is it a good idea that would 'go over'? Lois...See MoreWhew! Long time. Big changes.
Comments (3)Amanda, Congratulations on the new place. It can be fun to start over with a new place, and it sounds like y'all already have a beautiful (if overgrown) yard to start with. It can be hard, though, to leave behind the plants you've nurtured. We look forward to hearing a report from you after you and Moni figure out what you have, and what to do with/about it.

Comments (8)Sandy - good point! I hate drying things absolutely bone dry too. There's a certain dryness level I like. You can feel a little moisture in the clothes but not so much that you're afraid to fold them and put them in the cupboard/drawer etc without fear of them not drying the rest of the way. So folks who want things bone dry will have a somewhat longer drying time. Those times I posted for mine are not bone dry - but a little less than that. I do know for a FACT that these HE Front Load washers can handle much more than the dryer can as far as load size (at least in my experience.) I can tell a huge difference in viewing the tumbling action in the dryer if I had a decent sized load in the washer; when it's in the dryer, it doesn't tumble as well and looks overloaded to me (even though it wasn't overloaded in the washer) and my dryer is 7 cu ft. If I have a normal load in the washer that isn't overly large, it seems like it gets cupboard dry in 35 to 40 min's. I should probably break the loads up when I feel they are too large for the dryer but I don't. I just don't let them get bone dry to minimize wrinkling....See More
