what new roses have you recently obtained?
Comments (48)Mori, are you specifically looking for a yellow hybrid tea? If you're worried about wintering them HTs will be the most tender and suffer the most die back probably. You might want to look at some floribundas or shrubs instead. They tend to be hardier. Julia Child is one I know is hardy but there is also a new one out called Sparkle & Shine, although I don't know about it's hardiness yet....See MoreWhat have you passed up recently?
Comments (39)Greenhaven--seems fitting that Mr. Lincolns should be $5, but it's too bad they don't show him the respect of proper care. ;-) I avoid the whole garden section of walmart in the summer because it either makes me depressed or mad. Angelcub, my Pat Austin is tall and bushy enough that the bunches of blossoms look like small bouquets, and don't really droop. I will try to get some pics on photobucket and post a link later. Yesterday I went to buy a Peter Mayle and and SKy's the Limit, but came home with Elizabeth Taylor and Polka instead. Also a Centennial Star jumped on the wagon with no advance warning! I passed on 3 I've really wanted--the Peter Mayle, Shocking Blue, Sweet Promise. They were 9.95 in 3 gallon pots but they really had not grown much beyond the 15 inch canes they started with in the spring. Look like they had lost their leaves and were starting over, also. We have a long warm fall here, but then a sudden freeze usually, so anything I plant now has to be pretty healthy, I think. Should I go back for those? Is that a good price for the chance I'm taking? They have been sprayed and fed and watered. Also saw a Lasting Love with a beautiful bloom. Full price here in great shape early in the season is between $17 and $21. To me a good buy is $5 or less, on a healthy plant. Oh i also walked by some vigorous Topsy Turvy bushes because they looked awful after rain. They hold on to petals and they just don't weather well. On a nice day, I might have bought one. cindi...See MoreWhat baking have you done so far for xmas?
Comments (19)So far I haven't baked any thing. I will for sure make Wedding Cakes and Spritz. A couple more after I look through my recipes and decide which ones to make. Susan, if you check back in here, I have a question about freezing your pecan pies. I'm thinking you pour the filling into the crust and freeze it; not freeze just the filling, right? Sounds like a great idea. Think I will try that. Thanks for the idea. Sue...See MoreWhat have you learned recently?
Comments (15)Timely question.... I too often find myself winging it with a quilt pattern...for instance.... Recently I selected fabric with a theme ( horses in this case for a niece) and once I decided on a block, made 12 and was ready to kick myself...too much of a pain to make the block ( they became my center blocks-below) so I changed gears and decided to redesign my original concept. Well I finished most of the top, still need to make another change and add the gray border, but I learned to stop winging it sooo much...I get in trouble every time and it always takes me longer than the time I have available... My own error... Next time...I need to stick to my original game plan ... Sorry for the long rant... on the plus side...I did learn to make 4 flying geese at a time... New technique for me. V....See Morenicole___
