One of the best roses I have in my garden that takes the heat, humidity, leaves stay on without blackspot, blooms repeatedly. Can't say enough for this rose for its beauty in garden. Pearl D Or. Light peach. Pretty color. I wish they all were that easy. No spraying at all, except a little sevin for beetles. Its the bush at right of picture.

Oh, yes. Lovely. I really like your rock! Did you do it or did you buy it that way?

The rock in my garden came from my son's garden. He wanted me to put a scripture on the rock. Could not decide what scripture. Brought home and kept it around. My son was suffering from colon cancer. He died June 2007. I decided I would put the rock in my garden and every time I walk in my garden it reminds me of what a great son I had. I know he is with The Father. Brian was only 46. Thats the story of the rock in my garden.

That's a beautiful garden and scripture to remember him by. I'm very sorry for your loss. That's what my dad died of, too.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. The scripture you chose seems very appropriate. You have a very lovely garden.

Do those foxgloves bloom every year? My son picked them out this year to be his flowers he planted but they are only leaves and only a couple inches high. He wants to know when they will get big but I have no idea. Are they perenials or annuals?

Foxgloves are biennials. Plant this year for bloom next year. One of my favorite flowers. Its worth the wait to see the blooms next year. I had about 200 in my garden this year. When they finish blooming I let the seeds dry on the plant. About the first of July I pull the whole plant up and shake the seeds around on the dirt in the beds and they will germinate and I will have a lot of small plants. I then start moving them around the garden where I want them. They will germinate in the walk way and everywhere. Sometimes I let them bloom wherever the land. The garden centers sell them in the late Spring and they are usually blooming, but the plant will not come back next year. Sometimes I cut a few back and smaller blooms will shoot out. Tell your son not to get discouraged it will bloom.
