Here it rained a week ago but the pots were still moist despite temps of 18c.. even the terracotta ones.. I have an instrument which measure pH and soil dryness.. hope its accurate.. can get it cheap via Amazon or Wilko stores..
@Penny_Forthem lovely roses.. lot of Hybrid teas in your collection.. will be awaiting your pics.. sorry about your husbands diagnosis.. with the new season hope things get better..
Not much happening at my end. I w watered my roses in pots today and potted up a memorial rose in a HUGE pot. Only thing flowering for me are primroses and weeds!Â
The colonisation of my newly claimed rose border extension has begun with the planting of one of my new bare roots... Apologies for the shamelessly transparent ploy to get photos of my magnolia at the peak of it's powers onto the rose thread...
I also watered my potted roses and newly planted in the ground ones today. We've had no rain for well over a week and none forecast yet so I thought I'd better be good!
I see mini buds this morning on Ena and Crimson Glory as well as Moonlight. Things are looking up. A good blast of sun this weekend and some warm temps will bring things on.
