I just recently read the trick of putting banana peels at the base of your rose plants and never even thought of taking the nutrients by having them leach into water! NEAT! This particular rose bush always grows plentiful and beautiful blossoms, but I figure it can't hurt, I'm eating the banana anyway!
I have never been able to grow a gerbera daisy successfully. I think I've only ever had them in pots in the house, though, and maybe they wanted to be transplanted to the great outdoors? There's no doubt, Chanell, that you are a much more involved and accomplished gardener than I am. I should listen and learn!
Maybe tomorrow I'll have time to go hunt down some milkweed and look for eggs. I did notice two monachs while biking on our rail trails yesterday. Maybe I'm too late. Do they lay eggs and hatch all summer? I meant to look up their life cycle/life times, etc. but forgot!
