This is also about gardening, but on a frugal level.

3. I know about the roses in the abstract.

I've been dubious about trying it, since I really only have two small rose bushes, and when I first planted them, I let someone talk me into spraying them with what I misunderstood to be a 'feeding mix' and only afterward realized had pesticides. That's been a decade or so, but I don't know how long that crap lasts in the soil. That was the first and last time that any sort of pesticides have been applied to my property since I've owned it. We have enough strawberry beds that we got about 3 gallons of berries last season to make into jam, although I need to weed them bigtime. I certainly wouldn't mind adding rose petal jelly to the strawberry and black raspberry jams in the pantry. I'd also like to experiment with 'green wall' gardening, to increase the area in which I can plant.
