Moving Roses

Today was mild enough  to play in the garden, so I had the idea to move a rose. This little fella was squashed behind a very vigorous rambling type shrub rose. Well moving this compromised rose was far more trouble than I thought it would be. The rose was far happier than it should be and had intertwined its stems with the over zealous shrub.  Long prickly stems picked at my hair and clothing, and there were so many forked stems that it was darn right impossible to drag the tanggled stems out.

Finally I did the the reluctant rose out, and I did get it replanted, but boy oh boy did I need a nap afterward!



 New Show Starting

Yes, indeed, the Garden Gal is starting a new show on ustream.tv. The A Garden Gal will air live at 1pm and talk about things in your garden and in mine. 

Sometimes there is something that really makes you wonder. A particulular lady called Caitlin Flanagan has come out of her crystal cavern and put her dainty foot right into the garden via a vitriolic attack on school gardens. Well I don’t know where the good Ms. Flanigan has lived of late, and I don’t know if she has actually been into a garden, let alone a school garden, but we will talk about what they really are.
We are also going to talk about the branding of apples, and maybe other fruit, with your business logo or name.
As for things to do in the garden – well I think it is seed starting time and we can talk about seeds and planting.

FInally we are going to look at those indoor plants that are suffering from too little light, no water or fertilizer and getting definatly buggy as well as dusty.

Join me tomorrow for the show on ustream.tv at 1pm: A gardengal – live.
The show is tomorrow on ustreamTV at 1pm tomorrow.



 Practical stakes for the tomato patch

I found these stakes and thought I would give them a try in the tomato patch.  The regular little white tags are great for the pot, but get lost and misplaced in the garden. So I gave these things a try.

They are from www.Quikstake.com  and should be clear though the whole season. See how i did it:

 A New Blog and Site

This site and the occompanying web site has been a work in progress for several months, and will really take off in the New Year (she says hopefully).

Gardengal is a gardener and the lady next door. She chats about her garden and what the neighbors are doing plus gives hints for your own garden.  Look for all sorts of multimedia things to enter the site and to help you see what she does in her own garden.

So come on in, and stay a while and lets talk about gardening!
