Some pics of *my* "messy gardens"
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/index.htm
I tried to throw together a simple photo gallery and wasted about 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back trying to get it to work. Well, actually it works, only you can't see the thumbnails. Well, I *think* it works chuckle. So, feel free to try it out and just click the x'ed out boxes. Hopefully, you'll see an image of some sort... And if anyone has any ideas why this Front Page generated piece of dreck isn't working, please feel free to let me know. I tried to publish is as a "web" and it said that it was successful, but it obviously *wasn't* successful g. I'll probably only keep this up for a couple of days before I trash the whole project and start over again... |

Go here instead of the above link: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/index.html Henry has tweaked the above link a little, but try as I might, I can't seem to get the thumbnail for Portland From Glendorra to work. The picture's there if you click the x'ed out box, although, it's not really all that much to look at as it hasn't bloomed yet. It's there for people who remember me kvetching about the size of the banded plant last year (you remember, the damn thing was *tiny* - about the size of a tiny tomato plant sprout). It's looking nice and bushy now... However, I note that the buds are about to open, so we'll have better shots shortly. About Old Blush Cl. I was really worried about it as the first blooms were all misshapen. I'm not sure if I had thrips or not. However, the blooms all seem fine now. They're a darker pink than the past few years and the bloom size has increased slightly. It's really bustin' out all over... Everything is now in bud. Of course, this morning you could see your breath (it was darn cold). But the sun is warming things up nicely... I'm still battling black spot. Despite my using lime sulphur late in the winter and Daconil and Orthonex since the leaf-out, I've still got some breakouts. I've been real good about spraying this year and still it's a battle... |

Thanks to Henry, I have thumbnails for the page. He created a new index page for me. Go here instead of the above link: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/index.html BZZZZT. Sorrrry! That's a well-tended piece of LAWN I see! Everything looks so healthy! My Sombrueil looks exactly like yours, but a tad farther along. So "Colonial White" or the real thing, we have the same rose. Mine has somehow intertwined with the Don Juan it grows next to, so that the buds are all intermingled! I NEED a camera. |

That's a well-tended piece of LAWN I see! BZZZZT! Wrong! Sure, it looks green. Well, the 7 or 8 different kinds of weeds and odd grasses growing amongst the bermuda (believe it or not, actually crowding *it* out) are also green. Looks ok from that angle. However, get close and you'll love the veritable diversity of plant materiel growing in that yard. As I've said before, I like green expanses to complement gardens. BTW, that big hackberry tree on the left hand side by the street was hacked by the power company, which took half of its canopy. I'm having them take it down and they've given me a redbud in its place, which you can barely discern seemingly sticking up out of the flowering pear in the middle of the yard (it looks like a stick). I think the tree will be down in a week or two... Everything looks so healthy! If you look closely at the "foundation garden", you'll see a wonderful groundcover of chickweed and something else that seems to be taking over. So yes, even the weeds are healthy! Plus, I've almost got more bermuda growing in that garden than in my yard at the moment...I will admit to making half-hearted attemts to keep it at bay by pulling stolens that must be 3 feet long... My Sombrueil looks exactly like yours, but a tad farther along. Mine gets too much shade. After about noon, it's totally shaded by the porch...If I had my druthers, it would be out in full sun like most of my other roses... So "Colonial White" or the real thing, we have the same rose. Mine has somehow intertwined with the Don Juan it grows next to, so that the buds are all intermingled! I NEED a camera. Yes you do!!! My Old Blush Cl is getting intertwined with The Fairy Cl and that's totally cool. The Fairy won't be blooming for another couple of weeks...it's always one of the last to bloom, although it's budding out as we speak, which seems a little earlier than usual. |

I took some swipes at my wild garlic yesterday. Very halfhearted since I now have reason to suspect that it repels aphids! By the way--Mutabilis is an amazing rose. It is COVERED with blooms that really do look butterfly-like, and has been for a week. Cass was right about it blooming one at a time later in the season, but the first flush is a killer. Makes de heart sing. |

It's undistinguished, except for the fact that the trunks can be somewhat distinctive and substantial. Everything looks so healthy!

Makes de heart sing. I've considered Mutabilis and will probably end up with it at some day. Mine gets too much shade. After about noon, it's totally shaded by the porch...If I had my druthers, it would be out in full sun like most of my other roses... So, what is getting between S and the sun? The house g. It gets full sun until about 12, but then the sun rises over the house. The porch faces due east. Felicia's almost on the same plane but it's not shaded by a porch. It's out in the open and as such, gets another hour and a half of sun. By the way--I am going to get some film and take some photos with my regular camera--one of those weird little cigarette-pack-sized things with the auto everything. We will see how it does. Cool! |

Tiny orange buds that open and fade to peach, then yellow, then turn a clear medium pink at the end. It is a pre-1894, "breeder unknown" (if I recall correctly) China rose. It has a lovely mounded shape. It is fragrant! If you go look at the Helpmefind entry, Clara has some great photos there. So, what is getting between S and the sun? The house g. Oh, only that? It gets full sun until about 12, but then the sun rises over the house. The porch faces due east. Felicia's almost on the same plane but it's not shaded by a porch. It's out in the open and as such, gets another hour and a half of sun. You said the "F" word again. You know, maybe I will have to get this one. If you promise it is worth it. A once-bloomer, correct? AND pink? But very fragrant, right? Hmmm. By the way--I am going to get some film and take some photos with my regular camera--one of those weird little cigarette-pack-sized things with the auto everything. We will see how it does. Cool! I forgot to buy the film. I am hopeless. |

I am really worried about it as the first flowers are deformed. I do not know if I have thrips or not. Nevertheless, the Chinese are good people. They are a dark red than in the past few years, the flower size increased slightly.

You some people like me, never caring much about their garden. But I gives water and fertilizers regularly. But about cutting the plants and gives them nice shapes its not my cup of tea.
