You're welcome Nadia! Once you have the others collected, and you find you have more room, there is ONE more... Crestline Mulberry is a rose I "discovered" nearly thirty years ago. I hadn't grown it in many years, but re collected a sucker of it from a friend's garden in Torrance, CA last week. She, through her rose society, has spread it all around the Palos Verdes area because it grows so well there. It could also fill the bill for the type of Old Rose you're looking for. Arena Roses offered it for sale in their first printed catalog and it should still grow in the old rose bed at The Huntington Library, so if you're out there when things are blooming, you can see it. The last nursery I know of offering it was Muriel Humenick's Rose Acres, up in El Dorado, CA, but that was several years ago. Muriel was the source of many of my early old, rare and wonderfully obscure roses and is a lovely lady with a wonderful garden.

I learned a hard lesson. I was somehow persuaded that, not only did they need to remove truckload after truckload of my topsoil for an addition in 2002, they also needed to construct a "road" around my property. To do that required them removing the rest of my soil to a considerable depth and replacing it with gravel. At the end of the job, I was told I needed to buy "topsoil" back for my yard. I thought I was buying my own presumably ancient soil back, but the first load they brought was a shadow of my former dark soil. The load was mixed with sand and small rocks---not gravel---rocks. I stopped them bringing me any more, privately pissed off about the crooked practice, and naively believing that I could rebuild the yard with compost. I've made decent growing areas with tons of homemade compost these last 17 years, but there's a lot of labor involved for me. I'm sometimes tempted to buy myself a load of stolen soil. I figure one of the best things I do in my growing medium is make it attractive to worms, which it apparently is. I have large populations of red wrigglers, nightcrawler and earthworms. My father actually "seeded" our lawn here with nightcrawlers when I was a kid. I have very few memories of my father, but one of them is him running about the lawn that next morning flapping a dish towel at the dozens of birds feasting on all the worms that hadn't burrowed in the night like he thought they would. I think the huge nightcrawlers in my garden are descendants.

No jasdip, it erases the ink -- it disappears -- exactly like using an eraser on a pencil. You don't heat it. Just rubbing the end of the pen over the ink creates friction which is enough heat to make the ink disappear. Once erased it stays that way. It behaves just like a pencil and eraser. But the technology is different. Unlike a pencil eraser which rubs off the lead, the ink is still there, but invisible. Cooling the ink will make it come back -- but why would I put the puzzle in the freezer? The benefit for crosswords is that the ink is much darker and easier to see. I always used special soft leaded pencils to do puzzles, but they were still not very dark. If too dark, they became hard to erase. This pen provides the benefit of both dark clarity and erasability.

Jinx, I hope you are feeling at least a little better since your post here a month ago? I experimented with CBD for a while and learned that basically, you have to use a ton of it for it to have any significant medicinal effects, and doses that high are extremely expensive. Many CBD products also have a touch of THC, and I had wondered if the good benefits I was experiencing was actually from that. I did some googling and learned that yes, there's something to it. So I looked into micro dosing THC instead. It takes so little and costs soooooooo much less than CBD. I take it when I'm feeling tense, or if I need some help sleeping. It seems to work for me. As far as inflammation goes, I don't know as much, but some people think it could benefit. There are going to be more and more studies coming out about this, and I look forward to knowing the results. Even if it is the placebo effect, that can be powerful too. Tiny doses of THC tincture seem super safe to me, especially compared to painkillers or anti-anxiety meds.
