 | From: Marion D (dixie) on Fri 28/05/10 22:59 It looks like an Austin rose-perhaps 'Mary Rose'?-absolutely gorgeous with sweet perfume.I made a little blue bridge in my garden and planted Mary Rose each side of it.It is lovely to see it in your garden too. |

| From: Jan S: Full of Scottish Pride! (roosterscot) on Wed 04/08/10 07:37 I've just cleared an area outside my front door of ornamental pebbles - previous owner of the flat didn't like gardening apparently. My plan is to plant only roses in the area so that when I open my door thats the first thing I will see!! I hope to get the area ready for planting at the back end of summer but might have to leave it til next year. The soil has had a plastic membrane on top of it with the pebbles on top of that for years so will need to fertilise and prepare for the roses!! |

| From: Marion D (dixie) on Wed 04/08/10 22:32 O dear-the soil will be sour.It must be so discouraging for you to be faced with it.Probably not a sign of a worm either.However,what i have done in the past is to dig trenches in poor ground,and put all the veg scraps,sheep pellets(if you have them over there) chook manure andwhatever i can think of into the trench - and cover with soil as i go along.It will break down quickly and will be delicious for the little worms scurrying hither and thither. |

| From: Jan S: Full of Scottish Pride! (roosterscot) on Wed 04/08/10 23:10 How odd that you mention worms Marion. I have always had good soil wherever I have lived and wiht lots of worms which is a clear sign of great soil in my opinion. Well when I dug a wee area to put some pumpkins in I didn't see any worms, I asked a neighbour who has the most fantastic garden if she had seen any worms in her garden - she thought for a minute and said actually no she hadn't. I have never had a wormless garden, but the plants i've already put in here are all thriving. Strange!!1 |

| From: Jan S: Full of Scottish Pride! (roosterscot) on Wed 04/08/10 23:12 I think your right though about the soil where my rose garden will be eventually it will be crap, can't put scraps in it cos i'm worried about mice/vermin (this area is right next to my front door) But I will add manure and probably seaweed if I can get some from the shore. I just need to patient and work the soil to enrich it |
