Joyce,
Planting isn't what I'm doing. Quite the contrary. My father planted a
few Multi-flora Roses in a fencerow about 60 years ago. By the time I was
growing up, Pop realized he had made a mistake and frequently cast aspersions
on the government employee who advised him to plant them. Can't use his exact
wording, but it involved a wish that the guy who gave him the roses would
stumble into a patch of them at night while naked.
The Multi-flora Roses that I am placing by the food rocks as additional
cover are roses that I have grubbed up by the roots specifically for this
purpose. They are simply laying there and will be removed to a corner brush
pile this spring when they are no longer needed. I've fought them my entire
working life, but how would I keep busy in winter if I completely won?
