You can do bulbs. You can put in peonies, or move them if you have them. Mums, are available now at the garden centers, and will bloom next fall. That's all I have for you right now. Hope it helps. Sass |

You can also plant flowering trees, ornamental shrubs, garlic, ornamental flowering kale, and onion sets.

Hi all - I live in zone 9 in California, and have property in Nevada, zone 5b. Very different zones - and pretty much different trees, plants, etc. I am pretty sure that roses will do well in both zones, and want to grow roses from my own CA roses, and all my friends who have ok'd my cutting them. Our on-air garden guy says to cut a 6 in slip, spray it with VF-11 (he's an avid believer in VF-11, and I've used it for years myself), wrap it in newspaper, stand the slip upright in a 5 gall bucket or coffee cans with holes for drainage in it, and keep it wet - not soaking but really damp, for about 6 weeks. then - it should callouse over, and I can plant them. Another on-line search said to cut them, dip them in roottone, etc., put them in potting soil/vermiculite (or is it pearlite??) where I've pre-poked the holes. Keep it in sunny areas, but not in direct sun, keep it moistened, and (they say) I could have roots starting in 2-5 weeks. So - to those rose-lovers, do these sound reasonable? What happens after the little roots start? Can I leave them in the 1 gallon plastic pots I'll be starting them in? And then plant them in the NV property? If so - when is the best time to plant them? Next Spring? this fall? Thanks for your help and comments. Judy |
