My daughter has had to deal with rust on her roses! It is unsightly! Let me know how it works on the marigolds, they are one of my favorite flowers! sam

Re: ChiffChaff
Goodness Bro not unless the can break glass and get in the greenhouse. Glad you are feeling better. I tried to get a gallon of paraffin to kill some weeds but they wanted £7 in a gallon thin plastic can. When we first used oil for heating it was so cheap a Polish man we knew said he never turned his heater off . He just opened the windows if it was too warm. Quite a lot have solar panels on the roofs , but I have not bothered.

Re:
Yes but you see Kabu once flowers go to seed they go to pot. I might try the Chelsea chop on some of mine this season like the phlox and Michaelmas daisies it produces more stems of flowers. Go away Chumpet or you will start bragging again she said you ought to do more housework and not keep ogling the girls. You are thousands of years old. No Alright. Chumpet said can he have your photo for his collection. He means the purty one. No Chumpet she was younger and would have mesmerized you.

Re: Katray
Well I am growing the tall ones as long as they last a week in water and are cheap folk will buy them. They do not seem to harbor any pests much, which is an asset as systemic sprays for bugs can still be in cut flowers, so it says on the net.

Mom used to plant a border of marigolds around her garden
because their strong scent kept the rabbits away.

Congratulations to you both, and dear Kabu, too! How wonderful that is! I'll check it out.
Mosquitoes don't like marigolds, so I sometimes use them outdoors. As for snowflakes, that's a beautiful poem. Again, congratulations.

Chumpet, be happy. You are famous now.
