Good evening, Ladies. Just catching up here and reading your weather info. Here, we've been fluctuating between extremely cold and warmer than usual. One day is bitterly cold, the next shirtsleeve warm! Our forecast for Christmas Day is snow, possibly some accumulation. If it happens, it'll be our first white Christmas in ages!
Chelle, I loved your description of getting those roses in the ground. I have plants still in pots that I started in last winter's winter sowing, I have peonies that need division and now it will be next year before that gets done, I redid half a bed in the back during one of our few rainy spells this fall, then it got so dry I couldn't finish it and now it's too cold to work on it. Ah, the joys of gardening!
