I've never tried container roses, but I don't see why the smaller bush varieties couldn't do well in a large container. Tree roses, I would have...
Planted two short rows of green beans (bush type). Of course I had lots of help from two cats--rolling around in the soil, putting their little...
[ATTACH] Timi is not obscuring the view--Timi IS the view. She disappeared for three days and we were both saddened, worried, and slightly...

Cayuga, I see some kind soul filled the bird feeder! Our birds are hitting the feeders and suet cakes heavily--even with "natural" food available.
Happy Wednesday to y'all! I went to our local grocery and found everything on my list (flour!!!), plus a 71/4 lb. pork tenderloin on sale. We now...
