Retirement? Wuzzat? Every person I've ever known who "retired" worked 3 times harder than when they were actually "working"! But the concept of being able to sleep in would be nice...
My roses are toast. Had a minor killing frost a few days ago and a heavier frost this morning. All the new growth the roses had been putting out is now dead and the blooms that I had are all nasty looking w/frostkill. I put down 4 more bags of mulch last night around my blue roses in my pond area to make sure that they are OK. I left 3 bags of mulch available for when I get the roses in from Palatine. Can't wait! I'll be putting Blue Nile & Charles de Gaulle in my pond area where I sold the bluebeards out of.. that'll leave me enough room for Blue River & Blueberry Hill from RU when I get them in next spring.
