Corey ~ I agree with you on the "Knockout" roses. Most of them fade in bright sunlight as well, so what good are they? I DO love many roses, but the ones I had were damaged so bad by the deer, I had to remove them. I may try again, and start a series of spraying with repellant before I plant them. Once there is enough repellant on them, they seem to leave them alone.

Winter is my downfall, as I don't usually go out in the snow to spray, and that is when they nibble on the shrubs and make messes. Maybe this year I will spray in time. I have to spray repellant in the planting holes for the gophers as well. But, I do not live in the city anymore, so there is a tradeoff. No more billboards and cement...So many years I lived in Southern CA in the city! The last place in Southern CA that I lived was Topanga Canyon, and by far the nicest for me (rural, mountainous).

How do you like living in a senior complex? That is probably our next step when we are no longer able to work on this property, as there is work every day here. We are retired, but still work pretty hard as it seems to be required, though we love to do it, when we are able.
