Spring has sprung here, for sure, especially after high 80's and low 90's last week...which I despised, but what can ya do ?
My roses have all leafed out already...a bit early of course.
Neal: I'm with you on hating wind. It destroys my sinuses and puts me in a foul mood.
Got notice today from Regan's Nursery that my order will be shipped tomorrow. They evidently had a problem on their site with processing credit cards, so I had to call them and give it (my #) to them over the phone. This is my first time ordering from them so I hope what I get is as good as what Zuzu showed. I got another "Pat Austin", one "Top of the World" climber and one "Distant Drums". No more room after this for any more roses !
As I was driving past my place today I saw a bed pillow in the gutter and didn't think anything of it. 2 hours later I came home and saw at least 14 million white feathers blowing all up and down the street. A man two doors down was out trying to vacuum up what he could...which didn't even make a dent in the mess. I asked him what happened and he said the street sweeping machine ripped it to shreds when it came to clean the street. This is even worse than when those styrofoam packing worms blow all over !!!
