Wow, Stubbornhill Farm, I like what you are doing. It just so happened that I made Peach Jam also , from the first Peaches that came on the market, bought 3 baskets they looked lovely and tasted very good. My jam always tends to be a bit runny rather then too stiff I am using the low sugar...

Hello Momov; Yeap, I encountered the dreaded "Red Beetle" on some of my Orientals this summer for the first time. I Googled and found that they are , in the U,K. all over their Country in a big way. So they have finally landet in our region, what a shame. We sprayed with a water dishlotion...

Wow, I feel honored ;) So many replies! I am very happy that my blooms will give someone else a moment of joy. I will thank you all personal: Carol Dee, thanks for you kind comments . Thistle, yes I do have quiet a few, our place is large however our soil also holds many rocks. So we dug...

Oops, just spend the better part of one hour to show you my jewels of the garden when I hit (I assure you purely by accicent) the Backspace button. GONE ! :hit Being the person I am I will try again: My favorite Lily the Oriental "Nippon", like it for it's delicate appearance. The red blooms...

Sorry Mary, of course it would be difficult for you to send me a PM since mine was not enabled yet. Did so now, please go ahead. :)

What a good idea, Kristi :frow I bet you have an immaculate looking garden.

You are correct, there is a remedy for everything. Just as long as you notice the problem right from the start which is not always the case with me. :hu My place it getting to large anymore, it is getting overwhelming, in a good way.

Love the color of your Gladiola, Digit. They are surely a pretty flower. I did plant some this spring,,,,,, again after I promised myself I would never plant them again. Planted them 2 years in a row and each time they were befallen by "Thrips", they eat tiny little holes into the sword like...

Hallo Mary; I could not help but quickly search in Google for a recipe against Mildew on Roses for you. There are many other web sites to choose from but here is one, the first one. Have fun reading it. http://scvrs.homestead.com/marchmildewmalady.html :)

Oops, thistlebloom ;), no Rugosa 1 doesn't really know that much about Roses. I wished though. I am lucky that I don't have to battle with mildew on my Roses , not in the area we live in. We have big problems in British Columbia, Canada , because it does rain a fair bit there and therefore...

Love all the Roses you show, Mt Gardener. I agree, # 4 is so very delicate. Sorry, I don't know ALL the Roses by name, actually just a precious few. I find also that Canada names their Roses often by different Names, this is also true with Lilies and Daylilies. I think that whoever breeds a...

This is a beautiful Rose, Mt Gardener. I think thistlebloom is correct, it is probably "Fire and Ice". Thanks for that. I would honestly have to go through my Rose image files to check it out. Love the amount of white in this red Rose, very nice. Oh, and with writing things down while taking...

Ha, ha, Carol Dee, yeap those DH 's, mine planted 9 Roses for me in April of 2009 because I could not do it since I was in Hospital at that time after a botched up surgery. Spend 7 month there so by April I was already 4 month in Hospital (Botched Gallbladder operation!) So I was very proud of...

Hi; Glad you discovered the Casa Blanca Oriental Lily as well, Thistlebloom, it is a magnificent flower. Oh, and Carol Dee, I hope you will soon be able to grow Roses, don't give up. Teach your doggy "do not touch' maybe let him come close to the thorns more;) :lol: And hopefully the...

Helloooo TEG members! And thank you so much for your kind reception. I was astonished to see so many answers to my post, you are spoiling me! To a frequent question about which Roses I like best and which ones are fragrant? To the first question ;"it is very difficult to say which one I...

As I mentioned before, I am a newcomer to the TEG and so I like to introduce myself with some of my flower pictures and share them with others. I feel what good is it if you have a garden with lots of blooms in it but can't share them with others? I notice that this site leans more towards "how...

Planted about 10 Beefsteak Tomatoes , a few Ultra Girl and 4 Cherrie Tomatoes this spring . The Cherry Tomatoes have been a let down because something ate them (only half) and also destroyed the plants in the process. I have a good idea what it could be namely the Chipmunks and the Red, Black...

Thank you everyone: Sunsaver: Yes I know you can eat the Daylilies and of course some selected other flowers as well but I rather just like to admire them for their beauty. :) Nyboy: The blue flower in my first picture is a Balloon Flower, or "Platycodon" in botanical terms. It grows easy...

Hello, I am new here and am trying to get to know the TEG forums. I like what I see and read and thought I give this gardening web site a try. I grow many flowers but the majorty are Daylilies, Roses and Hostas. Thought I show you a few of my Daylilies that I have growing in my garden for a...
