I hope you have good weather for planting. We're still getting frost here at night. I hate planting anything if there is a fear of frost. Hopefully, we wont have much more.  :smile:
If they get frost bitten I'll just email Henry Field's and tell 'em they sent the darn things too soon and they'll need to replace 'em.... :biggrin:

I had to stop at the local junk store today to buy a runner and they had roses 3 for $10.  They are two year old plants that they chop down but have new growth.  They looked alright so I got some and planted them.  If they don't work, well they were only $3.33 a piece!!
Take time to smell the roses.

Usually, the ones that are well established do better. They will probably make it. At that price it's definitely worth a shot.  :yes:

If I have some time in the AM, I might just go get 3 more.  I mean you can't beat that price.  If the rose bush that I planted last year is any indication how roses will do in my yard, then I should have no problems.  My friend had a huge bunch of three bushes that she dug up and took apart.  I got one part and that sucker looked like hell for about a month but then came back to life.  It looks great now!  I would love to see a huge rose garden in my back yard!  It would remind me of The Wedding - the sequel to The Notebook!  :biggrin:

It is really greening up outside. I'm going out later today to look, and see if my rosebushes survived the Winter. I can't wait to plant the garden.  :biggrin:

The whole yard has greened up this week. The Tiger Lillies are about 3 inches tall. I noticed Sunday that the Peonies are about 2 inches tall too. I think almost everything survived the Winter. I've got to plan what I want to plant in my garden. The beneficial insects should be coming soon. In a couple of weeks I think we're gonna have to mow. I love riding the Cub during mowing season. I pretend I'm on a big Alice Chalmer bebopping around.  :biggrin:

The beneficial insects arrived today. The Lady Bugs are live. We bought 2000 of them. The Praying Mantis' come in an egg pouch, we bought 1000 of those. We also bought a big box of Nematodes. Nematodes cannot be seen by the naked eye. The Lady Bugs are in containers in the refrigerator. It's not warm enough to put them out, so you have to refrigerate them, so that they go dormant, until you're ready to release them. I'm not sure what hubby did with the other ones, he must have put them somewhere where the cats can't get them LOL!! OK, now we need warm weather.  :yes:

Hum, if you can't see Nematodes with the naked eye are you sure you got them?  Just one of those dumb things that popped into my head.  what are they anyway?

Well, it sounds like we better keep our fingers crossed on the weather. I'm glad I haven't planted anything. I am however worried about the flowers that have broken ground. The apple tree is a concern too. It has buds on it. Last year, we had that late freeze when the apple tree was blooming, and it only had about 5 apples on it. I hope Champ's rose bush will be OK, it's been looking really good. Why does this crap always happen ? :mad:

All we can hope for is a breeze or some gentle rain.

I don't know if if we got below freezing or not last night? I will have to go out this afternoon and check things out.  :yes:
