Week of April 27

Tom bought me two small Roma tomato plants for 88 cents each.  

 I almost killed this plant. It was a cold week and I just did not go outside, kind of obsessed with work and study.  But some water on Friday perked it up
 Went ahead and planted these petunias.  Even when it has snowed a little in May, the snow never reaches near the pine tree. As much as I hate that tree, it does protect these pots from hail and snow
 My tulips from the Southeast garden.
 New lawn ornament. I need more wind chimes.
Just hoping for some Romas to roast this year.  These were from the 69 cent sale at King Soopers.

Rose food May 5 2014

This is from a few years ago.  I read that coffee grinds are good for roses.   I had some leftover coffee, watered it down and gave it to 2 rose bushes out front; There are 3 in the front rose and I gave it to the two furthest from the street.  We'll see what happens.

I read that epson salts are a good fertilizer.
