The magenta rose is 'Big Purple', the pinks from an old rose that was planted before I bought the house. Now I'm going out to put 'Smelly' on my vegetables before I go to work. 'Smelly' is my name for a disgusting but fertile concoction of cow poo, seaweed, comfrey and fish bits that I brew up with water in an old paint pail (securely lidded). It stinks to high heaven but the plants seem to like it. My zucchini plant leaves are looking very yellow, so hopefully 'Smelly" will provide them with the will to live.
Stunning roses. A few days of rain has made ours look sad and sorry. I hope Smelly is a life-saver.
