This summer, as usual, we got way behind on the garden chores. Now its August and these roses really need to be planted! In early 2014 a polar vortex wiped out most of my hybrid roses and nearly all of their replacements have been total failures, until this year!
One day, I accidentally looked up and noticed there were roses blooming on the arbor!
It was a complete surprise! There weren't a lot and they were sticking out in all directions (because I hadn't bothered to prune it, thinking it was probably dead), but they looked great!
This photo was taken a month earlier. At the time I was just happy to see it had survived the winter!
Who knew it had so much potential?
Hoping for similar success next year, the Skeleton Crew got to work planting the new roses.
Ivy started digging while Kibitz supervised.
\Rounding the final turn Burt heard a scream!
Ivy had dug up a surprise!
How did that get there? Could it be real?
Upon a closer inspection, it turned out to be plastic, just like them!
So they finished planting the roses and then unearthed the appendage because it's always good to have an extra hand in the garden.
Spenser thought the idea of a spare hand was silly until he realized it might be useful for petting cats.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!
