The latest blooms...
Comments (8)Thanks Peachiekean, Pelicanhead and Becky! Donna, if you look at HelpMeFind.com. they list a lot of suppliers for SNOWFIRE. Judy, I spray my own concoction of a repellent very similar to Liquid Fence. It usually works great, but I think the recent fires and smoke here have made the deer more hungry and somewhat unafraid of anything. Good luck keeping your doe away. As for the roses you mention.... SHOWTIME is a wonderful rose that Steve Singer at Wisconsin Roses sold to me many yrs ago. I don't believe he still carries it, altho you might email him and ask if he would custom propagate it. He does that. It grows and blooms like a weed all season long. The blooms are always gorgeous and the plant has very little disease. If I remember correctly, it smells pretty good too. STRANGER is new for me this yr, and is a florist rose. So far it's bloomed pretty good for a first season plant, and hasn't had any diesease. I've had LADY BIRD for a couple of yrs, and this was her first really good bloom so far. She seems to grow short, barely 2ft so far. That bloom finished out at about 5" and I would call it a deep coral-red with a red-orange center. The photo doesn't do it justice! She gets a little bit of B/S, and some PM too, but not really bad. I don't spray. Thanks Irisgal. I dunno how the heck they can digest those thorns!!! It amazes me....See MoreMy latest blooms

Comments (7)Annabelle's sister Gabbie was inside the coop waiting to lay her egg, and I put the eggs that had fallen out of the bales in one of the nesting boxes and tried to get Annabelle to sit in there near her sister... Didn't work... she wanted up there on the bale-nest. So I went in and got my husband to come out and help me get the two bales tied together so the eggs wouldn't fall out anymore. Then we dug out a nest in the top of the new bale, so they could both lay there eggs there. At first Annabelle wasn't too happy about the idea, and Gertie did not want her trying to get on the original nest. She got down and I tried to put her in the coop again but she came back out and was running around all panicky. My husband picked her up to put her back up on the new nest... but she still wasn't happy and was really beginning to get stressed out and was panting like crazy. I finally had to put an egg in the new nest and then she finally settled down... She laid her egg before Gertie did... and the two of them were really weird. They both were picking up pieces of straw and "fluffing" the nests and tossing the straw up on their own backs. Annabelle was still pretty stressed and just stayed up there on the eggs for awhile. Then Lulu decided to try to go up there to lay her egg... but neither of the girls would get down. Lulu was still up there when we left to go back in the house. So, guess I'll have to go out and see what else transpired out there... Oh and when we were tying the bales together, my husband pulled out about 6 or 7 more eggs that had apparently fallen down there the last few days!! At least now the eggs are more secure... until the crazy girls decide they're going to yank out more straw and open up the sides of the nests......See MoreMetteBee_Copenhagen8b
