Northeast Gardening: What did you do this weekend?, 0 by Seandor

I visited Kassia! She has a huge yard in an idyllic setting - backyard edge with open woods backing onto a river. (House is higher, so little risk of flooding)

Her yard is going to look like an English Cottage Garden - all raised beds with lots and lots of roses and rose companion plants. Kassia also makes a very good cup of coffee :-)

While I was there, I met two of Kassia's friends, including the famous Laura with the clivia (?) plant. Laura pruned two of Kassia's roses (hybrid perpetuals). Anyway, I took the cuttings and now I am trying to root them. Cuttings are "La Riene" (I think) and 'Frau Karl Druschki' (Kassia, correct me if I have the name wrong).

It was truly a wonderful day.

Today, I planted the datura Kassia gave me in to 5" pots. I also planted some other plants in the gardens.

Now I must discipline myself to mark papers.

Hope your weekend was great.
