It  does seems idyllic to me until I have to start weeding it..lol Thanks for the comment.

Oh Cheryl - thank you so much for the compliments on my garden .. it is great to "hang" with fellow gardeners & appreciate together the beauty of our labor and actually of God's blessings to us!

Hi Cheryll, welcome to the Landscaping group!

Hi Cheryll-i have gardens all over m property. No ground left unplannted! I have a discussion on my "sage gardening Tips" on how to grow beautiful roses with organic products. Just join and then you can read it. I am also doing a similar thing on Roses but it is a story of my garden in installments. i have most of the information that you need on Sage. They do need a good watering at lest 2-3 times a week. They like a deep drink. You may have to trim your roses a little to get them to bloom. There is a 3-leaf set and then a set of 5-leaves and then a set of 7 leaves on your rose stems. you must cut under the 3 leaf or another rose will not emerge. You can even cut just above the 7 leaf if you want a longer stem rose. This is on hybrid teas where only one rose grows on a branch. If it is a floribunda or many flowers on one stem, then just pinch off the spent rose. Hope this helps you.

It started out tobe English but I say that it turned French. Much more relaxed. I do love irises. I have between 2-300 of them and in many varieties and colors. They add to that unusual touch that I like to inject in my gardens. Thank you for your compliments. Isn't this fun. I just love it here!

Cheryll- You will definitely enjoy this wonderful place here in cyber-space. You will meet and keeps friends here that you will have never met. I have a whole group of friends. Nice to make your acquaintance. Look forward to hearing from you again.
