My Beautiful Roses!

This is the right side of the front entry. Everything has grown so nicely! In the middle is my small lilac tree. It is filling out and growing nicely. Next year everything will be even bigger!

This is the left side of the front entry. I love it! Three months ago everything was sparse. Now look at it! :o)



This is the varigated dark pink and white. It's grown a lot! It has over 30 roses to bloom! Yes, they all get Miracle Grow twice a month. :o)



When I bought my four roses bushes they weren't any bigger than 12 inches high. I took a picture with the gate so that you could see just how big this one bush has grown! It comes up to my chest! I'm 5'8" tall! It has over 50 roses to bloom! See what Miracle Grow can do?!



This is the cherry tree-amost 2 mos. later and it's bigger!




This is the peach tree-almost two months later. Much bigger!



Neil bought these two fruit trees back in March. This picture was take one month later. The one on the left is a cherry tree and the one of the right is a peach tree.
I love my front yard going up to the front door. Everything has filled out so nicely. It was so sparse when we first planted everything. I had taken almost everything out the development put in and gave it all to David and Angela. I have to admit my roses bushes are struggling with white mildew. Any suggestions? I've been trying the diluted soapy water spray and it's okay but it could be better. The blooms are gorgeous!
The grass is much greener now that I've fertilized both the front and back yard. The grass is baby soft under your feet. :o) The rain helped a lot. That wonderful nitrogen that only mother nature dispenses so nicely. Now were going into another hot spell and I've got to start watering again!

No suggestions from me, obviously, I don't know that I've ever successfully grown anything, but I think your flowers are beautiful. And suddenly I want a piece of cherry/peach pie...
