3. what kind of rose is that?

I assume the LGB are aphids, although I can't see any.... ;)

nice pix, BTW

4. It is a miniature rose I bought on impulse at the grocery store.

The LGB are there, after my camera batteries

I hope to be able to get my tomatoes to the fuzz stage. I think I'm going to lose most of my seedlings before I can even plant them in the ground. :cry:

17. Hope to plant tomatoes and pepper tomorrow

I'm hoping that we're past the frost stage in Ohio. Have some sunflower starts to put out, too. Your sunflowers were the inspiration.
