Morning Anxiety
Comments (6)I had a lot of issues with anxiety, and related insomnia. Progesterone cream has really resolved all those issues for me. You could try a really low dose to start and that might be enough to make the difference. But if you don't want to try hormones, not sure what to say other than cut out all caffeine from your diet, and don't eat too many carbs, especially sugar....See MorePop-up for Monday Mornings?
Comments (4)Br'mom, stared on Wednedsay and was really bad yesterday. Saw it earlier today. My Son-I-L installed some sort of blocker, but it obviously didn't stop it....See MoreMonday morning pictures
Comments (19)Thanks for the encouragement! I had a busy morning and dozed away the rest of the day yesterday, so it was fun to read all your comments this morning. Ingrid, the pink rose is Princess Charlene de Monaco. Not an OGR, but lovely and fragrant. Anyway, progress will go from my usual crawl to a near standstill, now that it has gotten so warm. I am kicking myself for not getting more done while it was cooler. Here is more of the bed that gets the morning sun and afternoon shade. That's the DA Mary Rose in the center. I have a lot of flowering tobacco in here, most of it lime green. There is some of the Mutabillis here as well, but I cut it down. It reaches 8 feet high by June, but always reseeds, so I'll be seeing it again. The red in the picture is more flowering tobacco. I purchased seed one year, and somehow ended up with red. Every year it reseeds, because I'm just too slow about removing things once it gets hot. Lots of cardboard here. I was happy to read that you have a cardboard garden, as well Carol. It looks bad, but it's the cheap and easy way to go! I even have Hosta and a few Astible in the shade here. I planted them 5 years ago, before I knew better. They get extra water from nextdoor under the fence. That's the only reason they've survived.I know a good tidying up would help in here. Perhaps one evening when I'm feeling up to it. The very last of the Nicotiana mutabilis. It is lovely in full bloom, with fragrant dark pink, soft pink, and white little trumpets, all blooming at once. I'm hitting submit. I don't dare lose this. I must be getting braver, or losing my mind because I'm just about to show a very wide shot. Where are all the others? Robin?? I'm airing my dirty laundry here in hopes that others will see that ALL gardens have a place on this forum. Virginia, yours is too lovely to count. It's lush and well kept! I like the watermelon turk watchamacallit too. View from the patio, looking towards the morning sun/cardboard bed. Veggie box between patio and bed. View from the patio looking to the slope. Arch unsecured, more cardboard, more plans, more work:) On the right side of the arch is newly planted Lady Ashe climbing rose and Rooguchi clematis. They are being shaded from the afternoon sun. Ingrid and Sheila, I do have some Tea roses. I have Duchess de Brabant, and Flamingo Garden Tea. I feel as though I have more... brain foggy today. I kind of thought Paul Barden's October Moon and Siren Keep might have some Tea in them, but it looks like SK does not. I don't recall October Moon. I wish those Teas didn't get so ginormous here in So CA! I know I am in prime Tea growing land. I live on a tiny lot, and want to grow a variety of roses with annuals and perennials in between them. I like bouquet material!! I wish there were some that truly stayed 3x3 in So CA. Marlorena, yes I love the Orlaya. I bought a single plant last year, knowing I could scatter the seed around. I had not counted on how much better it would do this year, with its earlier start and our extra rain. It is 3x as large as the original was last year. They've thrown things off quite a bit in that bed. Well, now I know not to place them in front next year. Virginia, you're exactly correct. I couldn't stand the thought of all that Privet hedge instead of roses. The craziness was thinking I could remove any of it myself. The spot where I hacked at it was to give the Winchester Cathedral Rose in front of it some more light and air. It was doing so poorly. The roots of that mighty hedge sucked every drop of water and nutrients it could get for at least 10 feet in every direction. WC has bloomed more in the last 4 months than in the 6 years previously. I am so happy with the new space, with one drawback. My patio is now hotter. The hedge no longer shades it. This will be resolved as the roses grow. Anna-Lysaa, that slope is my biggest challenge! I emphasize with you. I did put one enormous climbing rose at the top. I tied him to the fence and I let him trail down the hill. He covers a lot of ground already, for only being in the ground about 8(ish) months. I only had space for one giant, and chose Paul Barden's, Mel's Heritage. I love it! I need to take a break. I'll have to look for mistakes later. "Herding cats", is no longer just a funny saying around here:) Lisa...See MoreMonday EMO's on a chilly morning
Comments (13)Again , I can't choose I'm afraid. So many beautiful blooms. I guess the only one not on my top ten is Orange Overload and that simply is because it is orange and I can't picture it in my gardens. Probably because I have so many fulva europa growing here . I dont think I want anymore orange. Your last garden shot is spectacular ........they say" one is never closer to God than in a garden" and that shot makes me think of that quote....See MoreAlisande
