Another One Bites the Dust
Comments (15)Don't give up hope. I had 4 cases of RRD several years in a row, but this year, have had none at all. So good times may be coming yet. Actually, I thought I might have a new case of RRD this year--sinking heart! But somehow it didn't quite look like it. So I did some severe pruning in that area with the affected growth--and everything seems to have grown back normally. Since that rose was on the property line, I'm wondering if my neighbor, who runs a mow and blow service, didn't maybe spray some Round-up next to his garage that has wild weedlike climbers going up it. That garage isn't that far from the property line where the affected rose grows. Kind of suspicious, don't you think? As to the rose, I pruned it rather late in the season, so I probably won't know for sure if it is all right until I see next spring's new growth. Everyone cross your fingers for me and my rose!

Comments (12)I work with horses, and in the South, and I was hot natured BRFORE the hormones started making me hot, so I wear and wash a LOT of shirts. I do not like plain crew neck T-shirts, I prefer a V-neck. AND, I cannot pay 29.95 for something that may get a medicine stain on it the first time I wear it. Old Navy carried some that I wore so long they frayed around the neck! JCP had some good ones that were not quite as sturdy, but more available in my small town. Neither are available anymore, ON has a shirt with the same label, but it is translucent, and JCP just doesn't have them any more. I hate clothes shopping now!! In my "better" (non-barn) clothes, I just wear the ones I have, and luckily I am a good mixer-matcher. You are not alone,daisychain01, and I complain EVERY time I go in(yes, like a crazy person, I go in , thinking something will have changed!).

Comments (9)Your hard work certainly shows! Beautiful garden. One of the local hosta buffs puts 2-4 inches of manure on every year. You'd think the plants would get buried, but they look terrific. This was the first year I've had a lot of hosta seedlings. I tried to move them to one spot, but there were so many I gave up. If they live but are all plain and boring, there's always the assorted clubs asking for plant donations....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
