    Went out for more climbers today ,to replace the frosted ones.They were moved to another area.Home depot,i think has the best for climbers this year(height wise)$20.00..

    While planting the storm came in,lots of lightening!But a pretty good shower.We needed the rain pretty bad..

    I love to enjoy others roses. I don't grow but one that is completely carefree. Hope they do great since I have a "vested interest" in them too.
