Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 >>Does anyone know where I can get the Damascus Roses that Butch tells us about??? Thanks! Neysa Neysa, Try Jung seeds. Probably www.jung.com Their prices are great. They also sell many quality bare root plants. I have been buying from them for years. If the link isn't right, I'll find my catalog and check it. Let me know if it wasn't correct. Nancy scents1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also sell many quality bare root plants. I have been buying from them for years. Thanks Nancy. They have great stuff but none of " Butch's roses " . I also cant find antique roses anywhere. You'd think that Jackson and Perkins would have them... that is where I originally got the ones I have! Hugs Neysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hi Neysa, Didn't know, I haven't planted anything for the last few years. Always get the catalog, I should look at it some time.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Didn't know, I haven't planted anything for the last few years. Always get the catalog, I should look at it some time. I am concentrating on perrenials.. mainly things that will infuse for my products though I do have annuals like Basils and Calendulas etc. Hugs Neysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Perrenials or annual that self seed are all I have. Use to have a large row of Calendulas, but I think the dogs or kids ruined then. So I now only have small patch. Sadly this year, with the weather so bad, grass is taking over my flowers. I can't last to long working in the yard this year. I'm having a friend make me a cart. I have a three month puppy, next year she can pull me and my weeds. Last year my son lived at home, his dog helped me. I put a harness on her, she could help me get up off the ground. He bought a home this year, it was heartbreaking to lost the dogs. Finally had to get a new one for myself. My dog passed on this last winter. But she wasn't a working dog. When anyone come over the say how beautiful my front yard is. All I see are the weeds, my weeds are grass. As I take the puppy out in the front I do get to take a little more care of it. The back yard has the dogs side, but I worry she could dig out if left alone. The other side has a pool, I have to really watch her, she did fall in one day. It was still covered for winter, still is. At least now the water is just clean rain water. I don't think I could get her out if I was alone and she fell in. Everything I planted were for the birds. Well I use to have a lot of herbs. Just love to watch the birds year around.

There are lots of them now, some manual, some motorized. One I think is called the gardendevil -- let me go google...no, wrong name. I've seen it on TV. You just stand over the weed, and the tool is basically a long shaft with twisted tines on the bottom. You have a torque-type handle and you just twist and lift the weed out. The other tool I've seen works like an auger/weeder with the aid of a power drill! They carry it on QVC. Hmm - just went there and didn't see it, but i found something like the weeddevil I mentioned before: http://tinyurl.com/emp0 That weeder doesn't seen as easy to use as the one I'm thinking about, since you have to step on the foot part and it has no torque handle. I'll keep searching for you. In the meantime, you can search for ergonomic garden tools, as it is a booming industry. Here are some more QVC garden helpers: http://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?class=9255 & cp=index & cont=sn The sitting garden/planting cart might be a good idea. OHHHH -- here it is, the tool I was looking for -- I'm going to get one for myself, too! http://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?class=9255 & cp=index & cont=sn I've seen it demonstrated many times on the TV, it looks wonderful. You just have to have a good power drill to operate it. I'm on a roll -- here's the non-motorized version I spoke about earlier with the torque-type handles: http://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?class=9255 & cp=index & cont=sn HTH. I'm like you -- I see the weeds when everyone else is admiring the flowers, and sometimes you're just too stiff or sore to get out and weed. I'm not a kneeler or sitting-type weeder, though, I'm a bendover type, and I get dizzy and pull my hamstrings. Ouch. I am going to invest in one of these tools, probably the drill/auger/weeder, since it makes it easy, easy, easy to dig a bunch of holes to pop plants into, also. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Oh, I forgot to mention about getting heirloom roses. There is a nursery called something like Roses of Yesterday Today and Tomorrow. They're out of Ohio, IIRC. They have a huge selection. I want to encourage the OP to seek out other roses than R. damascena. Sure, it's nice, but there are, IMHO, many nicer. It just happens that industries evolved around the Damascena and centifolia varieties, but many roselover swear by their infused oils, made fresh from their garden's roses :-) There are about 50 'scents' to roses, IIRC. Fruity, musk, floral, sweet, tea, etc., etc. All infuse beautifully in oil. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I now only have small patch. I have a lot of self sowing things too. Am really a lazy gardener! LOL Sadly this year, with the weather so bad, grass is taking over my flowers. I can't last to long working in the yard this year. I'm having a friend make me a cart. I have a three month puppy, next year she can pull me and my weeds. Last year my son lived at home, his dog helped me. I put a harness on her, she could help me get up off the ground. Wow it sounds like you are really having problems. I had shoulder surgery last year so am still struggling with mobility. With the shoulder and my back which just doesnt allow me to be kid I want to be! Dont have a dog and the biggest thing the cats do is lay on my herbs and eeat them... not to mention ocassional " litterbox " usage of my raised beds. Perhaps your son could make you some raised beds you could handle? He bought a home this year, it was heartbreaking to lost the dogs. Finally had to get a new one for myself. My dog passed on this last winter. But she wasn't a working dog. Still, I hate losing a friend. Had some great dog friends in my day. When anyone come over the say how beautiful my front yard is. All I see are the weeds, my weeds are grass. As I take the puppy out in the front I do get to take a little more care of it. The back yard has the dogs side, but I worry she could dig out if left alone. The other side has a pool, I have to really watch her, she did fall in one day. It was still covered for winter, still is. At least now the water is just clean rain water. I don't think I could get her out if I was alone and she fell in. Cant you make a ramp out for her?? Everything I planted were for the birds. Well I use to have a lot of herbs. Just love to watch the birds year around. Yes birds are great but my cats like them waaaay too much! Hugs!

My arm strength is as bad as my back and legs. So I just do what I can, not much. I don't last long before the pain gets to me. This year I had planed to let it all just go back to grass. Didn't have the heart for it, so I play around. Today I did find a wagon for the dog, she is 3 months old but weighs 25 lbs. She already has more strenght then I do. If she can pull the wagon this year, it can have my tools and put the weeds in it. That won't start until next week. My daughter left her doberman with us while they went away. I had thought the puppy would keep busy playing with the cat. But the dob, he is use to a cat, had my pined in a bathtub. So now the poor cat is staying out of the way. Looking forward to Monday when the dob goes home. Later we get him back for 2 weeks. I may need to be locked away by then LOL. Have a great evening. Thanks for the advice, just everything I try, I'm unable to use. Oh well as long as I can keep my mind busy, thats all that matters.
