dancerjodiIts freezing in my office for some reason today - uber AC or something. I'm sitting here with my old lady sweater on.
My Nana and Aunt gave me a "knock out" rose bush http://www.knockoutroses.com/index.html this weekend. Frankly, growing things outside scares me, because I have a hard enough time keeping house plants alive. Apparently this thing can grow to 4-5 feet wide and tall, wow. I have to find a place in the yard that's large enough and gets full sun, then dig a big hole, then "prepare backfill soil by mixing existing soil with peat moss or compost". After planting, water, and much. Somehow I'm also supposed to "feed regularly through the growing season with a fertilizer formulated for roses". This is kind of scary.
It looks like I know what I'll be doing on Saturday afternoon (if its not crappy weather). I wonder how expensive peat moss and fertilizer is. I really don't have the cash to spend a lot of money on yard stuff right now.
