Planted bare root rose 2 days ago,,,looking sad what to do
Comments (13)Thank you all. They actually were in dark colored soil (bare root bag) that I kept very moist until they were in the ground and have kept my eye on watering them now that they are in the ground, daily. Around me, I've only seen the saw dust bare root at one place but they were out of Z.D. at the time. I bought them from a very reputable and well know nursery and the guy actually went into a holding area to get me the best ones. I'll snap off the new growth as you all said. Question: Would some alfalfa meal on top of the soil be of help now or just wait? I read someone else's post about this. I wouldn't do the tea but just do the meal on top and water. For my other 19 rose bushes (inherited when we bought this house), when should I do this alfalfa thing? Any BEST time to do this? Since many of the older established roses are of unknown varieties, is there any way to tell what TYPE of rose they are since I noticed that the new leaves in some are dark almost purpleish and in other bushes they are bright green? I was just wondering about them. So far I've taken out some of the bushes that had no smell or where just shrub roses etc. that I didn't like and picked out new ones that I wanted. Just something I noticed and thought you all might have some insight into this. Fun learning all this stuff. I'm soaking up all the knowledge I can right now. I'm a sponge much to my husband's pocket's dismay.... ;D...See MoreDid you post a pic of your large natural pond 1-3 yrs ago?
Comments (8)Thank you GP, and I apologize also, I did not mean to be sarky at all. I will try to watch my use of exclamation marks in the future. I realize after reading my reply, that a question mark would have been the proper thing to use! I guess a simple thing like that, can make it a bit ambiguous, when we read some of the posts/replies here. It can make you wonder if a person is miffed and sending a cryptic "Smarten up message", or just possibly trying to be helpful after all? At least this will keep your [?] question up at the top and hopefully, the person you are looking for will reply. My [?] is there as you don't seem to be the original poster,who posed the question in the first place? Unless you moved to the U.S from Canada and changed your user name? LOL Take care, "Horton"...See More6 weeks ago... (sorry, long post)
Comments (4)I am sorry for your loss as well. It is never easy to let those we love so very much go so unexpectedly. Your post alone shows how much love and admiration you have for "Granny and Papa". How blessed you are that such fine people were such a big part of your life. Your words clearly express the depth of your love for them and their love for you has no doubt inspired you in your own life. I lost my dad then my mom almost exactly a year later. My mom was never happy after my dad left so when she left, as much as it hurt to lose her, I knew she was with my dad, where she wanted to be. deb...See MoreRemember My Post Many Weeks Ago About...
Comments (20)I think people peel the husk back to see what the kernels look like before they buy them. You never know if the kernels are mature inside the husk or if there are worms or empty spots, ect. Now if they find a good ear and peel it and put it back, that would chap me. Kinda like peeling a banana and then trying to put the peel back on so it doesn't ruin. Doesn't work that way. But I have seen people checking out the kernels before they buy....See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
