It never rains but it pours - don't you wish you'd said that? Never mind the stuff that comes down from the sky, my poor husband has just had one thing after another. He had what was to have been a consultation re a spot the dentist didn't like, and without any ado, he was whisked into a small operating room and the offending item/whatever was

Hello

[mary_mayhem]

I've stolen some of your words from the Utne Cafe. I gave you credit, but thought I should give you an opportunity to tell me to take it down.

Whatever you have stolen, you are welcome to it!!! Anytime at all.

I have questions

[mary_mayhem]

First, what time of year should I try the glass trick for the roses?

Second, how well does periwinkle spread? Could I use it for ground cover?

(Envisioning your husband getting a report that all is dull and benign.)

Up here, roses bloom in late June and July - so I imagine (remember, it was 50 years ago!) I took them and planted them then. So when you get some rose blooms, plant them right away - and don't panic when they look awful, or the jam jar (a Mason pint jar would be perfect, or a mayonnaise 500 ml jar which is the same thing) gets all blobby with condensation. In the Fall when its going to get cold (does it in NC?) - here that would be mid October, cover them up with leaves. Mine were against the house, so I banked the leaves up against it. If you plant yours in the middle of the garden, pile the leaves on top.

Periwinkle - spreads well - sparsely in wooded areas as the ground is usually barren and often has pine needles on it, but in shaded areas with decent soil, or places with only a short time of direct sun and lots of indirect, it spreads nicely.

Good luck!!
