Will I need to 'harden off' bareroots once I wash away mulch?
Comments (9)Mehearty - roses love sun, so I don't think you'll need the laundry basket since they have broken dormancy and now are actively growing and have leaves. Roses require 6-8 hours of sun per day. Just keep an eye on them and if you see leaves start to crisp or burn, you can cover them. Just make sure you give them plenty of water. That will keep them hydrated. That's very important. And yes, you can gently move the mulch off the top of the new growth, but I always leave the mulch around the roses themselves to help keep the beds hydrated. Post and let us know how they're doing, but I think you'll be fine. It's time to let the roses do their thing; just enjoy them. Good luck! -terry...See MoreMore of Life and Death in Pandemic
Comments (98)Mtn, I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing and sorry you couldn't be with her these last few weeks and when she passed. We are living in a strange time, but you seem to have made the best of it. I loved your description of an obituary and think it's so meaningful that you were able to write it, as well as give the eulogy. You express yourself well; I'm sure she would have been proud.

Comments (31)Most counties require a witness to the wedding and that person also signs the official wedding certificate to be filed at the court house. Side note: In the eyes of the court, a pair is not considered legally married until the wedding certificate has been filed. While searching my family's history, I found 2 wedding dates for my grandmother; one date on the day of the ceremony and a second date two weeks later when it was filed. Before automobiles, Pastors often collected wedding papers and went to the court house maybe once or twice per month to file the wedding certificates. There was a hazard: If something happened to the Pastor in the interim and the papers never filed; That can cause problems at later times when probating an estate or other legal matters....See MoreWhat is one or two things that kept you sane during the pandemic??
