every day for the past the last few years i have been walking past this house in my street and i always admired the rose bush in the front garden, really pretty and so many blooms every season you can hardly see the stems it has so many blooms..

Today i was walking past and saw the man in the garden so i thought i make eye contact first and then smile at him, he looked at me and i said " i really like your roses and have been admiring them for the past few years" he replied "OH thank you young man" he said he has had this rose bush for 22 years and has been just taking cuttings from it and been planting them in the back of the garden and front, and then he asked me if i wanted a few cuttings in November and i sad YES PLEASE lol.

I told him i have tomato seedlings squash, all sorts in my garden, he was interested in the squash so i dropped two seedlings of to him and a few packs of veggie seeds for him for next season..

That got me thinking, there are plenty of nice gardens in my street i should ask everyone for cuttings from the rose bushes and give them something back in return, so ill be on the prowl for more types of roses bushes tomorrow LOL

I've hauled in about 30 pounds of strawberries so far, put up a shitload of freezer jam this week. Tomatoes are still smallish. Onions and garlic are doing well and pumpkins, gourds, zucchini and cukes are chugging along nicely
