The rose is starting to take over it&#8217;s portion of the garden bed and I fear that I&#8217;ll soon have to move a number of plants that are in front of it and to the sides of it because it&#8217;s over shadowing the poor things.<\/p>\n<p>When the rose, William Baffin is in full bloom it&#8217;s flowers are a beautiful light pink and it&#8217;s well complimented with the white and purple Malva Sylvestra growing in front of it, hiding it&#8217;s bare legs.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Now, fellow Green Thumb members, I&#8217;m as guilty as many of you are of not going around and visiting all the sites lately.  My excuse is that I just have not been feeling well this year at all and it&#8217;s become harder for me to make the rounds for all the memes that I participate in.<\/p>\n<p>What is your excuse?  I know that visiting sites has slowed down- dramatically.  What&#8217;s up?  What can I do to get everyone visiting more of the Green Thumb participants each week?  Should we have a contest every now and then?  Best photo each week?  Best green thumber (person who visits the most sites and leaves the best comments?)?<\/p>\n<p>You tell me. For many of us this is not our busy gardening season so we should have a little bit more time to get around to each others sites.  I could understand if the majority of participants were in full gardening season, but I&#8217;m just not sure what&#8217;s going on right now &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Our Green Thumb Membership is growing each week and I&#8217;m quite proud of how it&#8217;s grown. However, since the list has 37 members I&#8217;d hope that at least half would participate and make the rounds each week.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s it going to be?  How can we get participation up?<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/feverishthoughts.com\/garden\/2006\/06\/23\/green-thumb-sunday\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">As the Garden Grows<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<div class=\"912745ff53504cd4aef8ff3ef7b9aa95\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/> <br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* gardengrows_underpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0957462354\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\r\n\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_width = 468;\r\nch_height = 250;\r\nch_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_title = \"FF9B00\";\r\nch_color_text = \"333333\";\r\nch_non_contextual = 4;\r\nch_vertical =\"premium\";\r\nch_sid = \"gardengrows_betweenposts\";\r\nvar ch_queries = new Array( );\r\nvar ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\r\nif ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\r\nch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\r\n}\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n<script  src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/><\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join This is a nice little perennial that I grow in my back yard flower bed.
