Stuff is good. I am just getting into gardening - last year I started planting flowers - peonies, roses, butterfly bushes, crape myrtles.
We had such a long hard winter I almost lost the butterfly bushes and the crape myrtles, and the peonies were just roots so won't bloom for another year or two, but the roses are beautiful.
I haven't sprayed yet but have been out on my moveable seat clipping dead cane and deadheading the flowers. My husband watched me for a while and said, "you're turning into a Rose Person." I said, what? He said, "with your gloves and your bench and your clippers, you're turning into a Rose Person."
I have to say that roses intimidate me, but they are so beautiful, I feel that I must learn. And I fear I planted too many peonies, which I never was familiar with as they don't like hot climates like Louisiana. I may wish that I had reserved more room for roses, like Reine des Violettes. http://images.google.com/images?q=reine+violettes&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search
