Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Happy Bloom Day. You have a lot of holes to dig, worth it when it all comes together.
I have holes to dig too (Belinda's Dream wants out of her bucket, she has a bud) and faucets to unwrap and lots of constructive staring on today's agenda.
Your Baby's Breath's latin name is Spiraea, so you can distinuish it from florist's baby's breath.
Do you think frost is over?
Nell.... I do think the frost is over (but keeping an eye out and not taking the tropicals out until April.. and I am sooooo jealous. Belinda's Dream is the one rose I wanted to add my garden...I read everywhere that Belinda's Dream does awesome but I am over seeing roses. I have two cuttings that are in one gallons..prob gonna wait until April for them too...suggestions?
The cuttings are not Belinda's Dream...they are tangerine streams...hey that rhymes!
I was compelled to look up the rhyming Tangerine Stream -- yellow, salmon, pink and apricot. Pretty.
I wait to plant out cuttings until the container fills with roots.
Let me ask my usual dumb question, when do you think that will be. Here is the reason why I ask. I find I do not handle container plants well for some reason. The greenhouse works but it is getting very hot in there. I am sure I will do a better job at containers but in terms of months, how long do you think that will be. I have discovered that with me, it works better in the ground. But I do agree with you...just want to know when it is safer.
