Raaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.....
I've been doing a pretty good job about leaving the roses alone, not hovering over them TOO much and just letting them grow and do their thing...yesterday I was taking inventory and sure enough there are new buds on them...it was like 'bam' they popped up - obviously cause I wasn't hovering over them, making them nervous...we visited the nursery today and they received their big order of antique roses, so I compared their growth to mine, and sure enough everything seems to be right on course...their Old Blush buckets were blooming and I have 3 or 4 buds on mine, ready to pop...but most everything else they had was waiting until it got a bit warmer...I expect in the next couple of weeks to start seeing some pink on these guys...Next week is a free class on antique roses at the nursery, so we'll be there front and center...I want to find out about pruning, and planting companion plants...pics will be coming once I have something pic-worthy...
Do you hear that? that's the roar of the crowd, cheering because I have completed packaging all the beads and eBay treats and will be labeling them to go out in tomorrow's mail...29 packages...took hours yesterday, but its so good to see the piles (I separate them by weight) of packages...rrraaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!
Tony Robbins Hungry...I am being shuttled out of the house for breakfast and a new truckload of mulch...back after Tony Robbins gets his breakfast...

Donna, your roses sound wonderful . . . I can just imagine how beautiful and fragrant they'll be in a short while! Enjoy the rose class at the nursery.
