Scooby, I just wanted to say that your run is very nice, and the brick beds, too~

Thanks, all.

Yes, I will soak it at least an hour~thanks, Grannyof4

I planted two on Sunday and look at our weather today ! The most important thing to do is prepare the hole the rose is to be planted in well , with drainage, compost (and old horse muck if you are lucky)and make sure the rose is planted firmly , sprinkle some rose feed around the base and it should...

That IS interesting and though I don't have chickens (yet), I like reading things like this~

I have a new rosebush that need to go in the ground. Should I wait til it's a bove a certain temperature outside? We've always bought rosebushes in the summer, so I'm not sure~
