February 21st Primroses
So it’s been a tough patch of time here, for gardening. It has been so windy and rainy and cold. BUT, I found a tray of primroses at Costco and couldn’t resist planting them. It was a 50 degree day. Of course, the temp dropped immediately and I’ve pushed the pots up against the house…

December 16, 2022 Winter Rose Maintenance
It’s been dry and sunny so we worked over our climbers a couple of days ago. It’s a good idea to remove the leaves from all of your roses so they don’t winter-over black spot. We have ten climbing roses, so this can be a big job. We aren’t done. When buying roses BE SURE…
