Jill---

Just FYI---When Wallmart gets all their packaged Roses in and has them outside the building on endless tables---
Look there! Many times these older, "out of patent" roses end up places like Wallmart.

My red one is "Proud Land". have had that forever too. My yellow one is hmmmm..."Golden Gate"???
I have an intense orange/salmon one too---called "Tropicana"--but it is in my YUK" bed.
Wanted to dig it up one year to move it--but a couple of inches down--hit a massive Maple root.
So much for that!
Sometimes--I just want to get rid of them all and start fresh. Then--emotions kick in.....

You all know how limited my space in my beds is! SO frustrating!!!! It is a wonder I have--what i have!

None of my Roses are doing the greatest--except the "Sweet Surrender"..
When Black Spot hits--it is "Bye--Bye Roses!!!!
I need to spray my Hemlocks for "Wooly Adalgae"scale--but cannot get ti it....seems whenever i am off--
it is always a windy day--or raining--or rain predicted....

This IS always a stressful time in my "Have-to-do" garden chores....and then--THE SWAP breathing down my neck!!

Cute! One of the Foxgloves I have tagged for Terri has a 6" bloom spike on it. It has blooms! I staked it....

P/U some of the Apple Crates at Costco the other day. Should come in handy!

Anyone know the weather forecast yet for the 19th???? Hope it is a cool-sunny day.....

This Iris is from my deceased Uncle and Aunt's yard. they both died in 1991--and 1993.

I am a "Garden Robber"......
