How many of you are just itching to get back out into the gardens
Comments (9)I've been playing outside too, trying to get beds ready for more spring planting. I have still have 100+ plants in pots waiting to be planted. My entire yard is a garden, so I've been trimming back dead foliage and pulling some weeds and generally cleaning up so I won't waste any valuable planting time come spring. Now is also a great time for us to transplant trees and I have some growing in the wrong place, so they're on my to-do list. I'm in the process of turning a flower garden into an edible garden. And I see my lavender and rosemary are still green. I've added to my list to buy some more of those. Gotta have 'em. This is the mildest winter I remember. And I'm loving it! I even have a canna sprouting!...See MoreWhat do you do with the roses you get rid of?
Comments (14)For the most part I prune them, dig them up leaving as much of a "root ball" as I can and "package" them up with a note, if I know the variety, some sure start planting fertilizer and I put them on my curb with a FREE sign. I've always had takers. My best taker turned out to be a friend who knew a family that lost their mother and they were planting a memorial garden for her. Since then, I always give them first chance before I put them out on the curb. I've done this with some calla lilies that I put out with the caveat at how invasive they can become so I didn't have to feel bad if they took over. They knew what they were getting. I've had some monster roses from the previous owner that in order to get them out I had to cut down to the ground and dig out but that is the price I had to pay to get roses in the ground that I picked....See MoreTips on getting rid of sawfly larvae on roses

Comments (19)Heh. Michael, if you can remove oxalis from inside your roses with Roundup and not kill the roses, you should be cutting diamonds instead of growing roses. I don't know who you people are, who can use Roundup and not kill or maim something you're trying to save. Every time I touch the stuff there's a mishap. The only thing I can safely spray is poison oak acres away from everything else. Anything else, and it doesn't matter whether I use a tiny paint brush or a sprayer with a cup over the nozzle to direct the overspray, the brush falls on a plant, the dogs knock over the tank, the solution splashes on my goggles, the cup drips, something bad happens. I get the message. I'm doomed....See Morelavenderlacezone8
