Comments (6)Kathy, your 'Just Joey' looks simply gorgeous! I have given one to a friend as a gift and sadly it does not perform that well, maybe because it is own-roots. Anyway, thanks for posting!

Comments (2)I know what you mean. When I first harvested my vermicompost - and before being educated on the wisdom of exercising moderation in using the vermicompost in my pot plants - I used pure castings to sow hot pepper seeds in a couple of pots. When the seedlings became yellowish and spindly, I moved them to my flower beds. The pots which were still about 1/3 full of vermicompost were left undisturbed for about two weeks. Then I decided to use the compost in a potting mix. When I tipped the pots onto the soil (I used granular burnt earth which I get for about 80 US cents per 5 kg packet) I saw three fat healthy worms at the bottom of the cast from one pot. A cocoon must have got left behind among the castings and the watering given to the seedlings sort of helped it to hatch. Later, even though the pots were left unwatered for two weeks, some moisture must have remained in the cast to enable the worms to survive. I do think that unless the odds are too overwhelmingly against them, the worms that hatch into a particular environment adjust to that environment....See Moresuggestions for compact rose, peony type or like Just Joey
Comments (72)Natasha, haven't yet used the Tumax to create a trellis. Ran across these 20 years ago, found the idea intriguing & picked up a kit for a few dollars. Would think the structural strength would relate to the diameter gauge of the wire selected & the number of anchors used as support. Expect one of the multi-strand twisted or braided cable wires - in place of the galvanized wire roll that comes with the kit - would be much stronger & bear the weight of a mature rose. Since the wire is threaded through the loops that project from the anchors, would think how closely those anchors are spaced also figures into a weight capacity calculation. The tensile strength of the wire plus the number of anchors used along the line should yield a rule of thumb where the weight is distributed evenly along the span. Tumax may have this info with their professional kit instructions on their site - you might noodle around there to find it - or just contact them & ask for their load weight formula. Have used the anchors alone, without wires, as free form supports on a stone facade. Install them on the wall where they're needed as the rose grows & loosely figure eight tie the canes to the anchor eyelet. The anchors are hidden behind the plant. Gives a pleasant natural effect to my eye, as if the rose is doing it all by itself. (Look Ma, no hands!) To allow sufficient space between the wall & the plant, often add another ring or length of rubbery plastic chain onto the eyelet & tie to that as the canes thicken, allowing me to use those spongy noodle ties or green velcro loops. Lenarufus, Nahema is a beauty with toe-curling fragrance. Your wall coloring sets her off to perfection. New here this year as a gallon own root, she's a real charmer. Good growing to all!

Comments (16)I was really happy with āold schoolā AR this season. That is what they called it and I really hope they stick to the format. Most of the racing teams really didnāt get into any huge arguments (a few did, and I chalk most of that up to the stress and fatigue of the race itself). The finale was great. The winners were smart and played smart all the way. But any one of those 3 teams could have won....See More
