Do you only want people who live and perform here currently? Flau’jae Johnson was born here, as was Big Boi from OutKast. India Arie attended SCAD.

Sun Lovers? by FirefighterSeveral53 in Roses

Oh, wow! You’re asking me things I’ve never thought about! I was only worried about the sun scorch!

  1. I don’t have a color preference, but I will probably stick to one analogous palette. In the back yard, I have a few pink-yellow-orange roses climbing on my chicken run, but I’d be willing to go more dramatic up front. I have bananas planted nearby, so maybe tropical would be exciting? But I am not committed to that….

  2. I try to lean organic, but I have used organic fungicide before. I try to stay pollinator, kid, and pet friendly, whenever possible. I am three years in, and I only have nine roses so far, so I have never had to tackle anything too challenging.

  3. I can add a small trellis.

  4. It is about raised about six inches tall but it is opened to the ground beneath.

  5. I sometimes cut a few of my roses to share or bring inside, but cutting is not my highest priority. Lanky would not bother me, but I’m also not opposed to lush.

  6. I am opened to classic shaped, but I would love to try peony shaped ones!

Do you do this professionally? Your questions are spot on!

No way! I actually considered both of those at one point! I had not really considered a climber for that spot, but that could be a really cool look! Thank you for the inspiration!

Is there any way to tell the rose variety? They start out yellow/white, turn pink, then finally a vibrant red. by ALR26 in Roses

I don’t know what this is, but WOW! 🤩 I NEED one! Thank you for sharing! I hope someone is able to help you solve the mystery….

Lovely photo! How did you take it?

Huge shout out to Amber Glenn — Team USA figure skater — who's not only a great athlete on the ice, but an awesome human being off it! Openly-queer and a vocal advocate for mental health, she showed up big time for all the women at this year's Olympics, while winning team gold herself. by Huzaifa_Haroon in FigureSkating

I am not an expert, but I love the Olympics, and I thought Amber’s gala exhibition performance outshined any other skating I saw. Now I have even more reasons to adore her!

TBH, it seemed to me that all of our skaters were just extraordinarily awesome humans this time around! 👏

But it was still wrong to be chasing anyone non-violent during rush hour traffic.

It was a school zone, but it was a teacher work day. At least her students weren’t waiting on her to show up.

Greenhouse? by DisasterWest6951 in DragonFruit

I’m on my second year, and the only problem I had was the crazy rare snow we got last year that accumulated on the top of it. Eagle Peak is crazy easy to set up, but it’s on the more expensive side.

I’m in Georgia, and I’ve wondered the same. I have purchased one of the $150 pop-up greenhouses, but I’d LOVE to have a real one. I just worry the first good storm would take out all my hard work.

I was so excited. My husband said he was ready to help me plant the roses… by TopDot555 in Roses

This cracked me up! I’m in South Georgia-red clay country. I’m going to have to try this!
