It´s all about pruning and training of those lanky roses
Comments (64)I have a question about Gertrude Jekyll. I pruned mine after its last flush to about 2-2.5ft and it looked pretty tidy for about two weeks It's since put out a couple of basals and new growth that has to be 5ft at least at this point. Gertrude Jekyll on 8/2/16 Gertrude Jekyll 8 days later As you can see, my GT is looking kind of gangly - Clearly I didn't prune it hard enough! My question is is it necessary to wait until after the cane blooms to cut it down? This is sitting out in front of a window at my apartment, and is kind of an eye sore to look at, plus, I don't want to draw unwanted attention. If it helps to know, I'm in NC zone 7b. AKA humid and hot!...See MoreFor Shame, For Shame
Comments (8)I never give anything away that I don't expect people to kill. Many plants I've given away to people who don't already have established gardens end up dieing...most of it because it never even makes it into the ground. People -think- they want to garden way more than they actually garden. I see the same thing, even worse, from people who buy starts from stores/nurseries. I see the cartons/cells sitting on the back porch 2 months after they bought them fried to a crisp long ago. ...and a lot that do plant them give up on them or kill them before they even set fruit, too. I just live with it and roll on......See MoreSo were you Naughty... shame shame

Not a new member (I joined back in 2003), but I did recently update my E-MAIL addy with GW, I wonder if that is what caused this? In browsing through some of the threads in GW's Exchange Forum, I also noticed MASS QUANTITIES of people complaining about problems with GW E-MAIL interfering with trading! Looks like only reliable way to communicate with a member is send an E-MAIL directly to them, not thru GW!...See MoreWeather...all we can do is talk about it, and weeding
Comments (8)Nancy, We have been in the 90s for so long, and still are, for that matter...next week, at least, it is supposed to be low 80s, then the following week, 80s! But I have got to get the other iris bed weeded, and the very back most daylily bed. We have had so much rain, I haven't been able to get out, and the weeds are unbelievable. Edward, I would pay good money for those temps, but it will be at lease later October before we will see them if our weather follows its usual pattern. kay...See MoreHU-422368488
