Semi success
Well the moving of the climbing roses seemed to be a success so far. They were weeping the day before yesterday so I gave them a good soaking and a good watering last night as well and it seems to have helped. They are perky again. The don juan is recovering from it’s attack from unknown person or persons.
My hybrids and miniature aren’t flourishing as well as I would like. They are growing and getting buds and blooms but the blooms are not in good shape. I fear we have thrips on them and bought a spray for them to rid them of the thrips. (If indeed that is what it is). I sprayed the Heirloom (lavender) one last night and will have to see how it goes.
Adams pumpkin is growing like mad. Apparantly there are male and female flowers on a pumpkin plant and you have to help in the fertilization of the female flowers. Also you have to be quick about is as something doesn’t last long. Not exactly sure what it is. My husband did the research so I will leave that to him.
Two of the tomato plants are getting their flowers. So I am thinking I need to move one of them and start staking them.
We have Watermelon growing as well. One is vining out already.
We were at Lowes the other day purchasing the replacement plants for the roses and the lady at the cash register said that forsythias can be grown from cuttings. So I’m thinking if i can do the research and see exactly how to do it, then I may see about putting a couple of them in the front of the house on the right side of the deck. They don’t grow too big and it is bare there since I moved all the bedding plants and it may give just a bit of shade to the front yard. We’ll see though. have to speak with my husband about it.
