Tea Rose transplant

The tea roses used to be far back against the foundation of the house and smothered by larger plants that squelched their enthusiasm to grow and bloom. Now they are right up front in the border where they belong. Next year I am adding more for sure. These little fellas are a cinch compared to their larger cousins. Although I have heard that climbing roses are not as finicky as the "normal" sized bush rose. My only issue is finding the right kind of support and a location that gets the recommended sun and water. Basically its a cosmetics concern. Just pondering where they would look right for a display in our urban landscape...... Decision Decisions

Brunch from the garden

I am so excited the tomatoes are heating up and ripening. Salsa, sauce, and frittata is on.

Lasagna Oh So Good!!!

So during my mothers visit we had lots of different meals and in two weeks it seemed like we didn't have time to try everything that we wanted to try or make everything we wanted to make. However, I will toot my own horn because the lasagna I made while the parents visited was beautiful and delectable. I think I will make another one this week.
