Enjoying my first rose...
Comments (3)I've heard mixed things about Knock Outs in pots; I'll just have to take a gamble and see what happens, though I'm hoping that it is tough enough. Finding blackspot resistant roses for the Mid Atlantic that are great in pots seems to be tricky!...See MoreAgastache - bloom first year?
Comments (15)Two things I realized about agastache last year that make it a great plant: One patch of my 3 year old Golden Jubliee is in dabbled shade most of the day (maybe an hour or two of direct sun) and does fine. This is one adaptable plant! I planted some of the white flowering kind in a container with impatiens balfouri and it looks great! Really nice white spires. I usually don't think of using perennials in containers but I had so much of it. Also in dabbled shade with just a few hours of sun....See MoreI'm lonely - not really just enjoying the quiet
Comments (2)You have earnt your little bit of peace and quiet. I didn't get any until for close to 26 years, as the youngest were 8 years younger. That's apart from a couple of years when I was a single Mum, and the kids went off to their Dad's for the weekends. That took a bit of getting used to! You will have times when you miss your little on's constant patter, but you will also appreciate the new little school girl and enjoy watching her world widen for her. Your garden should be looking good by Spring! I work from home, and the guys at work have tried to talk me into setting up an office in there (it's our company) but I prefer my own company, and that of the dogs and cats and plants. I pop in and out of garden web any old time, because I have constant internet access for work, and only myself to answer to if I waste time now and have to catch up later. Right now I'm procrastinating about some tax stuff i have to put together for our accountant. Procrastinating is what I do best - there should be a degree course in it!...See MoreEnjoy The Show-But Lock Up Your Phone First!
Comments (50)DD and I were at a show on Broadway last year and the fellow in front of us was using his phone to record some of the songs. Then he'd play it back when the actors on stage were talking. I just leaned over and politely asked if he would turn his phone off because the glare and sound were distracting. His wife looked at him and said 'I told you so' - then he shut it off. I have no qualms about finding an usher and asking them to deal with it. When we're at a concert or movie I just turn my phone off. I can always walk to the lobby to check if necessary. I attended a funeral last month in church and I was curious if they would ask the congregation to turn off their phones before the service began. They didn't and a phone did go off - it was on vibrate and I'm guessing it was in someone's back pocket because you could clearly hear the sound of the phone vibrating on a hard surface. i guess the owner didn't want to draw any additional attention to themselves and they just sat there - while the phone vibrated away. And then about 10 minutes later the same phone vibrated again....See Morerouge21_gw (CDN Z5b/6a)
