Greener gardening

This past weekend we worked in the yard, it was a beautiful weekend, a little windy, but nothing to complain about. We decided to put in some roses in our back bed, so we added organic compost and sand to the bed, tilled it up a bit, and planted some roses. The red rose is a Legend and the yellow roses are Julia Child roses, we also planted a red cascade climbing rose, by the wagon and a red mounding rose in front. Now, every time we do something to our flower beds we try to add organic soil in and use organic pesticides. Carter’s three grape vines are starting to put out and they have some kind of clear round egg like things on the leaves and stems; we are monitoring whatever they are and will use some organic pesticide if necessary.  I’ll keep you up to date on the progress of our rose garden, with the organic compost and the fate of the mysterious clear round egg like things.
