Knock Out Roses

& Double Knock Out Roses
Last year we heard some of our friends down at the gym talk about Knock Out Roses. Well, we bought 5 plants the other day and and planted them around the steps to the barn. Here’s couple of pictures…

We’ll keep you posted on well they grow and develop, but they seem like the perfect rose bush for us. They are supposedly easy to grow and do not require special care. They will continue blooming all spring & summer until the first hard frost in the fall.

Read all about them at the Conard-Pyle website.

TVA Fish Survey 
Today Ralph and I are going to participate in one of the fish surveys conducted by TVA. The survey we are going on will start at Swann’s Marina and survey game fish Douglas Lake in that general area.

I participated in the survey done in 2007. Today’s survey will be similar; you can check out my pictures from 2007 here:

It’ll be interesting to see what we find today. I hope to have some interesting pictures to share with you tomorrow. Click below to review results of previous Sportfish survey results:
