Teema: Does anybody like celery???

If you buy a whole celery and cut the base off it, put it into a bowl of shallow water and leave it for about a week. ...it will grow....there will be a couple of new stems sprouting from the middle and there will be roots growing from the bottom....can be planted in the garden and kept moist until it really gets away :)

Vikings: well they are a member of the agave family, and they will grow from a leaf.....so I guess the same applies. Try a leaf and see if it roots

It has been 8 weeks since we had a cyclone rip through our garden. I am absolutely astounded how much the garden has grown since then...Of course I had to cut everything back as it has been ripped around and was looking so straggly...now everything is looking so healthy and attractive. The garden is looking fabulous.

TigerCat:you are welcome....get the black spot spray. It is very hard to get rid of once you've got it. Ask at your nursery :)

Teema: Re: Black Spots

TigerCat: DAMN.....great long post I did and then BK hiccuped ROFL

You must NOT water roses leaves....only at the base....that causes black spot if you water the leaves.

You must take ALL black leaves off and PUT THEM IN A PLASTIC BAG and disposes of them....do NOT leave them laying on the ground or it will spread.

Use a black spot spray AFTER you have gotten rid of the black spot leaves

Hope this helps
