What roses are you planting this spring?
Comments (8)Don't know about north Alabama, having only been born in Haleyville and spent summers there with my cousins, then moved south to Mobile. But I do unnderstand your fascination with roses. This year, I am putting in the ground two Zepherine Drouhans that I bought last summer. They will go on the newly constructed arbor that marks the entry to our back yard. And I have a white Lady Banks also going in the ground close to these pillar types. All of my roses are due to be moved from the bed in the center of a circular drive, so I can line them up more on the property border. My son's favorite is the Don Juan, very fragrant and a dark blood red. I also love the Iceburg, Just Joey, and Joseph's Coat. For a tall rose, try Queen Elizabeth. If you can find Felder Rushing's book, TOUGH PLANTS FOR TOUGH PLACES, he lists the hardiest toughest roses which are his favorites. You might find the rest of his book interesting also....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 More2023 rose & health & garden & what we treasure
Comments (745)Jim. Oh dear. You could try putting a basket muzzle on Gracie. She can still drink and you could give her (and Savannah...that's important that they're both fed treats) treats for being good. For example. Get them to sit apart (8 feet) from each other. Both would be on leash. If it's too close (Savannah is trembling, etc.) then move further apart. Gracie would be on leash with you holding (loosely...no tension) a short leash (maybe a foot of leash between you and her). Jerk the leash and say no if she moves towards Savannah or if she growls. She can look at her though. If Gracie is good, give her a cookie saying "Gentle, good gentle). If Savannah is not affected, give her a cookie. You don't want to give her a cookie when she's nervous. Then about 15 minutes later (after separating them), move them back to (7 1/2 feet) from each other...if they did well at 8 feet apart. Otherwise, go back to 8 feet. They should be on leash (when you are both home). Shake it up with not just you holding Gracie's leash. If you want some time away from them, put one in a crate or a different room. This may go on for months. Any time that they're calm around each other...give a treat and say good gentle....See MoreSpring Plant Swap 2023 SA May 13 11:00 Berthoud
Comments (22)Hi Alyssa, Here are the directions to private message me to get the address. BE SURE you have Private Messaging enabled on Houzz! To do that: Click on your screen name to go to your “profile page,” then, in the upper right corner hover over “Your Houzz,” then, in the drop-down menu click on “edit profile and settings.” From there, in the left side menu click on “advanced settings,” scroll all the way down to “privacy settings” and in the “who can message me” box, on the drop-down menu click on “allow anyone to message me.” Then click “update” on the bottom on the right side! Also, since houzz took over, when you PM somebody the person who receives the message will NOT get your personal email address unless you put it in the BODY OF THE MESSAGE, so when you send your PM to the host BE SURE you include your email address in the message! Thanks Arborwolf...See MoreKittyNYz6
