I have some rose cuttings in water (collected rain water) that have long since lost their blooms. Yet they are still very green and putting on new leaves. One is a bush type rose that makes the most beautiful red hips. The other is a climbing rose.
I am thinking they will root. I figure it...
In my collection today there is also a piece of what beefy calls a "ZZ" plant. Wallyworld had them and one of them had some broken off laying there. So I stuck that broken piece down in my butterfly iris :D
One day I will be able to offer something for trade for some of beefy's daylilies....I feel everything I have is so common-place except for what Joe sent and those are all still babies....
Well, one day I WILL return the favor but it will be a surprise and not because I feel I owe you but because I like to share too. One day I will learn how to be as generous as you :bouquet
Joe, I scored some great plants today that maybe I can share - you have such an AWESOME variety I just don't know what to offer!
Today while waiting for a prescription to get filled at Wallyworld I visited the garden center. They had LOTS of plants clearanced. I came home with 2 new rose...
Wow, those are NICE. Heck YEAH you should have asked for a baby - then you could send it to me! :lol:
I like the cycads. I look forward to my very slow growing sago getting some fronds....
When it comes to identifying them you have to consider that a plant here growing for me might grow somewhat differently for you. So my best advice would be to find something that is closest to what you have because growing conditions vary greatly from one area to another which will affect how...

I LOVE that sunflower! I think I must grow some next year. We have the wild ones but they are not as pretty as yours and others I have seen.....
BTW, did you get this quote from a movie? If you did, I know which one :D
From what I have read most fruit trees these days are grown from grafts, not from seeds. The reason being is it take many years for most fruit trees to actually mature and produce whereas grafted trees usually produce within their first 5 years. Also, most seeds gathered from fruit of grafter...
We did good covering the plants - this morning there was a light frost on everything. That means we should have another couple of weeks then the big freeze will happen. Come on 'maters :fl
I have an older tiller. It is a rear-tine Wizard that my dad bought for my mom about 12-15 yrs ago. We have hard clay dirt that gets cracks the size of Dallas when it gets dry. Hard. After all these years my tiller still starts on the 3rd try - even after sitting for an entire year. And so far...
Hey ya'll! I have missed getting to spend more time here but with the cooler temps on the way in it was time to play the winter clothes shuffle for 4 kids. Plus we go thru the hand-me-downs thing. I still haven't completely finished but you can see most of the floors thru the house now...LOL...
