So you have Flygirl, for your professional assisatnce and me, her unedjumacated sidekick!
I've been gardening about 20 years. I moved in here and curiosity get the best of me. What is all this stuff, coming out of the ground?
I had a mint bed and all kinds of bulbs - COOL! Apple and a pear tree, all kinds of stuff.
Over the years I've tried one of everything.
I am now trying to do most of it as naturally as possible. I compost, so I make my own dirt. I use mostly vinegar and epsome salts because pesticides and that stuff is bad for me, my family and pets, and all the wild things.
One thing I wanted to ask you about was my roses, Flygirl. They're really giving me grief lately. I'm thinking it's what's splashing up on them when it rains that is causing a lot of the black spot and mildew.
What would you suggest as mulch? I usually use shredded cyprus. Is there something better? I was thinking of doing a low ground cover - Dragon's Blood Sedum - instead.
