My English is bad, so I translate it in translation software. There may be some barriers to communication, but you want to make a friend. As far as I know, the origin of succulent plants comes from the United States and Mexico, where you have learned your maintenance skills.

Hope I'm not making a mistake . . .
Comments (9)1. The feeder roots will remain in the top 8 inches of your soil, which would be your raised bed section of soil. The anchor roots would go down into your poorer drained soil. Dig a large hole in your native soil to loosen it up before building a raised bed above it. 2. Some roses are winter hardy, but, not cane hardy. The canes can die back to the ground on some roses during cold winters. 3. Roses can be over-wintered in containers. Roses need to go dormant in your climate, so, a unheated shed, unheated garage, etc. could be used to over-winter container roses. You would have to learn container over-wintering techniques. 4. Best time to plant a rose in your climate is in the Spring after your last frost. If you try and plant into the ground now, try your hardest to not disturb the tiny feeder roots on the rose. (If you do, it may cause severe transplant shock or possible death to your rose.) So, try and keep the dirt intact around the roots when planting and keep it well watered after planting. You may have to provide shade for it during the hottest parts of the day. By placing a chair over it, etc....See Moreforgive my ignorance of grasses but i'm hoping for some advice
Comments (6)Driveway entrance. Yes, I get itÂyou want something simple yet unaffected, unpretentious but with a bit of drama, natural with no-fuss (drought tolerant) and no-worry (deer) habits. And grasses give more multi-season interest than do bamboos. Off-hand recommendations? Drama: Miscanthus sinensis, especially 'Gracillimus' or 'Variegatus,' but others are just as (if not more) interesting. Shorter, for near the mailbox: try some Panicum virgatum (any cultivar); or a sweep of Deschampsia...Oh, the list could go on. But do yourself a favor. Take jackgrass advice and get a good book. Without reserve, I can recommend Rick DarkeÂs "The color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses." If you love (or come to love) grasses as we in this forum do, you also will love this book; itÂs a treasure....See MoreChristmas Day is Bittersweet - I'm hoping I'm not the ONLY one...
Comments (11)My husband died on December 19, 2008. His funeral was the 23rd - This is my fourth Christmas without him. Any real joy in the holidays died with him - it will always been the anniversary of the saddest week of my life. Since then, I've also become estranged from one of my daughters, due to her mental illness and alcoholism. Today was quiet - son and I shared a turkey dinner I cooked. No tree, no presents, no decorations - one grandson called briefly, said he was "making the rounds" and would be over soon - never showed up. I told son if he had not been with me today, I would have been totally alone all day - might as well have just been any old day. Next year I'm seriously considering just taking a cruise over the holidays - never been on one, so maybe it's time to see what that's like. The secret is to not have very high expectations of the day....See MoreI'm from China. and I want to make a friend with you
