Fumes coming out of my ears…*Jealous* I love flowers and you have a very pretty garden.. V-ER-Y PRE-TT-Y (like Lucy says in Peanuts)
Very very pretty! Do you use any particular fertiliser for the roses?
we just use the generic organic fertiliser from our local nursery that we use for all our other plants. this year, we fertilised them just once. – b.

Stunning, soul-soothing photos. You’ve been gardening at least 2 1/2 years. When are you going to leave this all behind and move back to an apartment?
We need people like you to keep us on track
Thanks for the reminder. For b and me ideas gestate for quite a while and when they fructify, its rather sudden. -jai
