What Are Your Rose Garden Plans For This Spring?
Comments (28)I got a new raised bed this year courtesy of DS and DH and planted Abraham Darby, Eden and Graham Thomas to grow along a fence. It was fun dividing and planting annuals and I had two roses growing in pots that are going to get their last reprieve in that bed.....Angel Face and Heaven on Earth. I am eager to see how these do. My other plans are to complete my knockout bed. I have rainbow, blushing and pink, but the original knockout came dead from Edmunds and although I tried rooting one, I failed. So I need to find another knockout to put in that space. Other than that, I just want to keep up on my weeding and mulching. I still need to roundup the driveway and fencelines and spray the blackberries. I need a windless rainless day for that, and so far, there haven't been any. Good luck with your plans everyone.

Comments (74)Ok! I have a newbie question too! Ok it snows less than an inch. For most people in my little neighborhood the store is in walking distance. That store was jam packed with people getting ready for the "shut in" from the "snow storm" WAY ahead of time. The streets were totally empty that day. BTW, the snow melted the next day. They have an actual storm with possible tornadoes,a torrential down pour and lots of flooded out areas. The makings of a real natural disaster... Nobody even gives it a second thought unless their house actually floods. People were driving around like normal and saying stuff like,"Lots of rain were having..." I'm SO confused!!!PJ...See More2022-2023 TROPICAL FLOWERS IN MY ROSE GARDEN
Comments (131)March 7, 2023, I repotted 2 Brugmansias yesterday, after growing all winter inside home, into 12” pots still growing in bay window. They have been turned toward sun to straighten out leaves. Pots & Brugs are actually twice as big as photos Jan. 27 above. (They will be moved to bigger pots when it’s warm for outside.) Fruit Salad Brugmansia Angel Sweet Summer Brugmansia March 7, 2023: 3 PASSIFLORAS in bay window of home all doing well, filling out more leaves, BIG inside pots. Possum Purple Passiflora , in second season now, grows the best-it has the most hardy big glossy leaves-overgrowing it’s pot/obelisk & I just don’t want to cut it back-so beautiful & green-little gangly, Lol! ! May Pop, in 3rd season now, sprouted 5 new shoots & has many new long stems filling out obelisk, again. Victoria, in second season now, is nice & green, very full in obelisk! Daily watering makes them all most happy inside/outside! MORE TROPICALS: I’ll add a new African Violet, Orchid, Mandevilla and begonias as warmer weather comes. Anyone adding tropicals to their rose gardens this spring? Love to see photos?...See MoreMy 2022-2023 Japanese Garden Compliments My Rose Gardens!
Comments (105)PLANTING MY NEW JAPANESE GARDEN PLANTS: FEB 28, 2023: POPPIES: 6 Poppy varieties were planted in pots & put outside. I can’t put them in beds yet because soil us being moved around…. roses being moved soon & new Japanese beds will be established by end of month. Perrenial poppies will be transplanted after blooms to their forever beds. Annual bread seed poppies will be harvested in pots for their seeds for next year. They will go both in Japanese garden & south side rose garden bed. I planted 3 Varieties of Japanese Morning Glories, now sprouting. They will be transplanted to large 3 pots & grow on trellis in Japanese Garden. MARCH 7, 2023: Yesterday I repotted my new Japanese Dwarf Pixie Maple Tree…. It’s just a twig…. but hope it grows….it should have beautiful red leaves. It has lots of big long full roots about 7 inches long. My 2 Japanese roses came early in winter….. so I temporarily potted them growing on kitchen counter near window. Their leaves have grown & filled out! They are getting an early start until warm & J bed is established. Pas de Deux rose Shinoburedo rose Still waiting for my Japanese iris, & persimmon, to be delivered. I should plant primrose seeds now! And Andromeda is growing on kitchen counter, too. ALL plants need planted in new Japanese bed , once established, around March end! I just ordered 2 schrubs to fill out the Japanese bed from ETSY: Spellbound Camelia Pomegranate Splash Rhododendrum...See MoreSoCalGardenNut
