Elizabeth, my mother used to start roses like that... under a jar.
Dee

I have a shoot coming up beside the main stem, Elizabeth.
I need to get it too, don't I???
oh, I love learning all this stuff.

avon used to have a rose petal creme, when you used it, it smell just like roses, I don't think they make it anymore, it's a shame I loved it, have you ever made possum grape jelly, it's great, you gather wild grapes after the first frost, it's so much better than concord grape jelly
Elizabeth
Charleen, you have plenty of rooms for plants, don't you.I got a notion, that come next summer that I'm going to be getting rid of some of my sunloving plants...too make room, for my new love (;0)) Of course, you will be the first one that I offer them too, if you have room.
Dee
Charlene
if you want a standard, you have too cut those off, NOL was a standard, & I am making a standard out of summer kisses, the P&C has a way to go, but my goal next spring/summer is to have all standards, so much better fo storage
Elizabeth
lol,elizabeth, I have never heard them called possum grapes...too cute!
Dee
No, but it sounds deliscious. I know you all don't have Kudzu
up that far north. It is a blessing. Down here is a vine they brought
over from China to fight soil erosion. Well. it outgrew it's use. Now it is everywhere.
In August it starts blooming. When it does, the blooms have a sweet
grape smell. They make a jelly out of it and I imagine it probably
taste of grapes. It's amazing what people use to make jellies.
Charleen
Elizabeth, can you make standards out of cuttings, after they get started?
Dee
Dee
you can make standards out of anything, I had a jade, I say had because I sold it, it was a standard, it went for $50.00
that thing was 3yrs old was so top heavy I had to trim it, it kept falling over, I was so glad I didn't have to take it in, it was huge, the main stem was 5 inches in diameter, so much for slow growing
Elizabeth
Charlene
I am sorry I missed your question, no you don't cover the fishtank, when you have 8-10 inch clippings in the peatmoss you can't cover it
Elizabeth
Wow, good price! I always thought that they were slow growing,too.
Dee
O.k., I didn't think so. i thought I could make a Y by pinching but I just gave it another llimb to watch til it did make a Y. I guess I had to learn the hard way, HUH???
But I still got some pretty plants and do not regret trying. Just will have to be more careful next year. Did you all notice all our cross sending?? Once we get on it's like we cant talk fast enough to each other.
Charleen
Yep, we are good at that, but it is soo much fun...Just have to go back and make sure we don't miss sumpin'
Dee
Is that Angel's moonlight too? I love the color!
Dee

I'll just enjoy anything you put in that box. But I feel so Greedy, Elizabeth. The Brugs sounded
so great. I await anxiously for the red one. I know it is going to be beautiful. Yes, Sepi is the
baby and she is not going to let too many cats come in. Charleen

Charleen
