    Propagating Roses

    ByMary Crozier April 15, 2020April 15, 2020

    I have always wanted to learn how to propagate roses, especially the antique ones we have at Bella Terra. With a clean potting shed (see yesterday’s post here) and sheltering in place time on my hands, I thought I would try this. Meet Quatre Saisons (Rose of the Four Seasons), R. damascene bifera). We have…

    ByMary Crozier March 25, 2020March 25, 2020

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier March 14, 2020February 20, 2021

    We have arrived safely back in the USA after our 6 day Spring break trip to Vancouver, Canada. It was a spectacular mother/daughter adventure with my youngest child and college freshman, Elisabeth. Traveling was very enjoyable. I felt as if the planes were the cleanest I have ever seen, plus nearly all passengers were happily…

    Italian Fountain Project is Complete!

    ByMary Crozier February 26, 2020January 25, 2025

    Our Italian stone fountain, which is located in our front yard, was beginning to show signs of deterioration. The iron spouts had completely rusted and the stone was covered with crusty lime that was leeching from the stone.
