Not quite peak bloom yet but the warm weather we have had the last few days has hastened things up. I came home from work to find several roses blooming. Apologies for the cell phone pics with several in fading light but I just had to share!
Thanks for looking.

And so it begins...
Comments (26)Once they start to sprout I place them each into 4 inch pots with sterile starter. I pretty much get 100% success from sprout to seedling this way, with newer seeds anyway. I only do my longest season peppers this way, the rest I just plant directly into sterile starter trays and see who takes off. I like this method for the long season ones so I can see how things are progressing. I've been burned before with dud seeds planted in starter, I waited too long for seeds that never came up and then I missed my window for the entire season. Also the seeds sprout at different times which is great for having seedling backups. One year aphids got my seedlings but luckily I had backups ready to go in baggies. Saved me weeks....See MoreAnd so it begins. First Service Call for Induction Range
Comments (1)Oh dear. I hope it's an easy fix for you. I've been looking at the GE induction range with two ovens -- on paper, it's perfect for me -- but I'm really afraid to put that much money into an appliance and have to deal with constant repairs....See MoreAnd so it begins
Comments (27)Thanks for the warning bustopher, I have plenty of space. I think it’s Jeri’s that is an 18x18 monster or something like that. I’m planting several ramblers along the edge of the yard this spring. If they get too big there, I’ll move them to the back or other side yard....See MoreAnd So It Begins !! Slowly !!
Comments (23)Wow! So beautiful! I can’t wait for rose season to come here. Molineaux looks ready to explode! Pretty Jessica is so beautiful. I’m super excited as I got one in a trade last year. It’s still really small, but just sent out a new basil. Hopefully she will look as pretty as your someday! flowersaremusic, as far as I understand it Pretty Jessica is perfect in all areas except that she is an excruciatingly slow grower. Several of the smaller nurseries have stopped producing her for that reason. She just took to long to get to salable size. I tried to buy one several years ago, and couldn’t find any. That’s why I was so excited to get one in a trade!...See More
