Smelly,
Good point about the own root roses. I know Heirloom roses does sell own root roses. I'm sure there are others but they are the only ones I know of.
DD,
High Sheriff is lovely. I am partial to orange roses as well. Not really into the red and pink. Don't get me wrong I like them I...

DD,
Good to know about Pat Austin. I may try it just for giggles. Have you tried any of the Buck Hardy roses? I just found out about them. I'm thinking I may try one of them. Heirloom Roses carries them.

I've looked on the map and I don't think we have jap beetles here in Granger. We do have deer though. At least my yard is not along the slough where they like to travel.

Really? I have read that it is hardy to zone 5. Do you have a different experience? I ask because I've just moved to zone 5 and I was thinking I could plant a Pat Austin. I know I would have to plant my roses deeper and I have seen things called rose cones in the nurseries around here so I am...

DD,
Pat Austin is a lovely orange rose.

Oh my gawd what awesome fun is that!! Woohoo...I'd be down it in a minute! I remember the first time I went to the mountains (Big Bear in California) and I slide down the hillside. The dads were stationed at the bottom of the hill so we wouldn't go out onto the lake (not quite frozen enough)...

I'm a card carrying Beaver so I agree with you. What station did that song? I'd be interested. My son-in-law is a Duck fan. Every time the Beavers beat the Duck I have to call them to gloat lol!
If you've seen the movies Bandits there is a scene in there where Billy Bob Thorton's character...

Debe we'll be sure to chat when the time gets closer :-) Perhaps even include some of the other "ducks"

Ain't that the way it goes? I swear I talk to my daughter more now that I've moved than when I lived in Oregon. The phone calls have dropped off now that she got a job at Target though. Son Bill likes to chat on the phone too but then he was always a chatty one lol!
I'll be out that way in...

Wasn't it Tom McCall that had that "Welcome to Oregon, now go home" campaign? I didn't go home but I did leave lol

Ya know that Christmas song "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"? Well I start singing "I'm dreaming of a green spring" right after Christmas lol!
I have already received one catalog. I love it though :-)

Swindy,
My dad used to do model railroads and he would use moss in the landscaping. I offered to send him some of my moss lol!

Does plowing snow count? ok yes, I'm being a smart alec lol!
I'm in a zone that is new to me so I'm still learning what I can do and not do. I think I planted my bulbs way too early this year (planted them the end of August lol) So far I haven't seen any pop up so there is still hope. I know my...

ROFL you so funny Debe! I had no moss in my lawn this past summer. None! I could hardly believe it. No moss on the roofs, no moss on the driveways...it is a moss-free wonderland ;)
I have been thinking about all of your suggestions for my ditches. I think it will be a bit of a process because...
-
Well yes there is that lol! I don't think I'd want to tackle our acre without it but that is new to me so maybe that's why I didn't list it...I've gardened too many years without it lol!

Yep, I'm a hands-on gardener as well. I was warned about chiggers in the soil here in Iowa though so I've started wearing gloves. Not my favorite but it beats the alternative.
Shovel, hard rake, pruner are my basic tools.
