What I'm Reading This Week #23

Hello there!  We made it to Friday.  Halleluyer!  Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week?  No thanks.  Oh yeah, you know what's fun?  When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes.  😤  So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises.  Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks.  I mean for real, who sells those?  I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes.  So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything.  Oh then yesterday, I went out to water after a super hot day and brought the tape out in case I saw nasties on the leaves.  Well, I'll sp...

What I'm Reading This Week #24

Happy Friday all!  I hope you had an awesome week and are ready for an even better weekend.  

I didn't post much this week because there's only so many ways you can say we exercised and watched seasons six and seven of Dexter.  It was butt crack hot most of the week and we were supposed to get severe weather but never did.  I am quite happy that our first rose is starting to open up outside.



I never thought I could successfully grow a rose bush but this cute older couple who was at the rose part of the nursery the same time we were looked like they knew what they were doing.  I asked if she grew roses and she said yes and asked if they were hard to grow and she said yes.  She said to look for something that is disease resistant and treat it like a newborn baby.  I've been doing that and making sure to water at the root only to keep powdery mildew at bay and so far so good.   That's been my big excitement of the week.

Now let's root into...

We are hoping to get out and have a picnic this weekend since it's going to be amazing weather.  I know that you have to take these good weather weekends when you can from this point on.

Any plans for the weekend?

  1. I was kind of discouraged by what that lady said about growing roses but you took it on and have something good to show for it already. Great job! Have a great weekend everybody!

  2. What a pretty rose! Makes the effort feel worthwhile doesn't it! I'm not doing anything fancy other than renting a car for work and enjoying the freshly mowed lawn. LOL I like that smell of fresh grass when I walk out the back door. I'm doing the usual chores of laundry, house stuff and going to work. We're grilling out chicken tonight so that will be a nice dinner. We might even be able to pop the windows open because the high tomorrow is only supposed to be 71. Yippee!!!!
    Have a fantastic weekend!
