Comments (38)Just chiming in about the alfalfa at a feed store - I use the alfalfa HAY exclusively, partly because it's cheaper in bulk (mine is $12 for a 50 lb. bale), and partly because it doesn't create the cloud of dust that StrawberryHill talks about. I used to use the alfalfa cubes like Jeri, but I found I had to break them up, and as she says, they have molasses added to them. The alfalfa hay is 100% alfalfa, and it stays light and fluffy. I always add a few handfuls into my compost and manure that I mix into planting holes for new roses, and always scatter and scratch in alfalfa around the existing roses every spring as I pull off the leaf protection. Not having an overly inquisitive dog, the leaves mixed in with the topdressing of alfalfa and compost tends to cut down on the crusting as well as critters eating the food, but I certainly sympathize about the dogs barreling through all that to get to the alfalfa. It's possible that the pure hay wouldn't interest them as much as the pellets or cubes, but I don't have a dog and wouldn't presume to guess. The only thing lethal about the alfalfa hay is the smell if you leave the bag in the rain (or sprinkler) before you get it spread out, but we're all used to that from using alfalfa anyway.

Comments (16)That home is pretty, lynn I only saw 4 pics but it doesn't sprawl like the ones we're talking about. Beautiful views. On television I saw a monster home that Mike Tyson had. It was sooo sad. He admitted that the decorator picked every little thing on his tables and bookshelves. Not a real memory of something a friend gave him or a place in time. No family pictures. Nothing to call home. He went bankrupt too. If I were a movie star I would be embarrased to live in any of those homes. Brad and Angelina's home is on a cliff. I don't get that. Also this is only one of a couple of houses the stars have. It's not that my life has been so suppressed that I can't think bigger. But gilded crap like the Donald has? Does the house represent their salary? I'll sound like a Pollyanna and that's fine but they can get tax breaks by helping out the hundreds of towns that are dying out. Start a manufacturing company in one of them. Everybody wins. Make your own cloth, manufacture clothes here in America again. I want to believe Brad Pitt is still helping the people in New Orleans. There are other stars too. Can't understand why people still are without the basics there. That town has had constant help from Ellen D and Harry Connick and I guess the government. What's up. Are the officials maybe a little corrupt?...See MoreCelebrating Rain, Roses and Beneficial Insects
Comments (248)Jess: Before you closed this thread and start a new one, I went through this thread again, specially the posts done in Feb. The size of bushes planted in Jan 16 (ie, just a month or so earlier than when you took the photos) is enormous. Some of them are unbelievably big for a bush that has just been planted just a month earlier. That's absolutely remarkable. What was the size and age of bushes when you planted them? When we buy grafted roses here, they are 5-7 months old grafts and the plants is just tiny with a strong centifolia root stock but mostly one single stem coming out of the graft (they are generally grafted on Rosa centifolia or Bengal Rose which is Rosa chinensis, in Jul / Jun previous year, during monsoon season). Nurseries try to grow them as big as possible by giving them a high doze of nitrogen and phosphorus based fertilizers but afterall, how big can they get in 5-7 months!! Really very impressed to see the size of your bushes and I am not sure it's gypsum and potash alone that has done it. There may be more to it, in addition to gypsum and potash... best regards...See MoreCelebrity Encounters
Comments (58)I met many celebrities in a job I had in the theatre business during the 70's and 80's, when the stars finished their London or Broadway run, and toured with the production, to other cities. 'Star' cast members usually have clauses added to their 'green room/dressing room' contracts, that fulfill any personal requirements they demand. Shortly after arrival, I'd meet them to get their signature on the green room contract, and occasionally for a future signature, if a new issue arose that needed amendment. Some were a short 'greet and sign' while others could be chatty. Many of them are now deceased, and I won't include more personal opinions, such as being slovenly unhygienic, or 'fidelity challenged' (only one listed here, but I knew of several 'stars' who clearly 'dabbled when they travelled.') I'll just refer to my impressions regarding any short conversations I had with them. I know I'm forgetting many, but these ones are perhaps most well known. Yul Brynner- articulate, outrageously arrogant, boorish...(one specific memory is that his dressing room had to be repainted 3 times, until he was satisfied with the shade of 'chocolate' brown.) Peter O'Toole - intelligent, vulgar Richard Harris - gregarious, warm Laurence Olivier - surprisingly soft spoken, considering his forte was acting Katharine Hepburn - gracious Audrey Hepburn - sweet, polite, elegant Elizabeth Taylor - funny, loud, brash Richard Burton - same as Elizabeth (I guess they were too much alike) Rex Harrison - charming Maggie Smith - lovely, impeccable manners Vanessa Redgrave - kind, warm Julie Andrews - same as Vanessa Christopher Reeve - congenial, chivalrous Margot Kidder - rudely presumptuous Liberace - humourous, generous, stubborn...See More- 4 years ago
