Erin (Floret Flowers) interviews Gracie (Grace Rose Farm)
Comments (6)Both of these women will tell you anything you want to know about their growing methods - how they get so many blooms, what products they use, etc. Very generous with their knowledge. Plus, they reply to every comment and question....See MoreSomething interesting you may enjoy! Grace Rose Farm is selling plants
Comments (15)@bayarea_girl_z10a_ca no she didn’t provide a list or anything. I read through her responses to comments and know that Evelyn is not one. I think she will send a private message with lists and prices. i believe her regulars run around $65 each and these are all 5yo roses cut down hard while dormant. I’m expecting I won’t be ordering any but figured I’d ask anyway....See MoreFox Farm potting soil/Ocean
Comments (22)I get Miracle Grow Potting Soil and Jungle Growth Potting soils. I layer them in the pot. You could just use Miracle Grow and mix it with the Ocean if you wanted. MG has a lot of peat making it very light but I like to add another heavier soil with a little more pine bark in it to balance it out. When I say "mix".. you can simply layer it in the pot and kinda stir it around. I have been growing stuff in pots ..large trees, shrubs, tropicals, roses, cacti & succulents, etc for many years. I have good success this way. (I do add sand, xtra perlite, and sharp granite or gravel to my cacti mixes.) If its a very large pot, I add a little extra perlite in the bottom for added drainage due to our wet summers but it probably isnt necessary. I would not use water crystals in a place that has heavy rainfall like LA or FL. I lived in Southern LA for several yrs. My climate here is very similar except the soil is very different. S. LA has slower draining gumbo soil. We have faster draining more sandy soil. Those water crystals blow up and get huge and displace everything in the pot. You can add some extra osmocote to the pots if you want. I always top off my old pots with compost and a little fresh potting soil in the spring. I have some potted trees etc. that I haven't changed soil in 10 yrs..I just keep adding and they have done fine....See MoreI won 12 rose bushes from Grace Rose Farm. Now what?
Comments (37)Susan, I just read an article about southern Oregon and the cartels Pot growers used to be locals who cared about the water and environment. Then we had to Mexican cartels and the danger level soared. Now, we have Chinese and Baltic country cartels taking over. Basically using slave labor and threatening anyone who tries to leave and following through, these are not nice people. They are everywhere, taking over land and water and these are ruthless greedy cartels Why does it continue? Not nearly enough agents to clear them out and it is like playing Whac a mole. There seems to be no end in sight to the illegal drug trade and trust me, pot is only one of many drugs travelling in to our valley. If I was younger I would move somewhere else but at this age starting all over sounds top daunting....See MoreUser
