Question by pxrocks: I accidentataillly pruned my moms old rose bush and wacked off some new growth. Can I replant these branches?
I was pruning my mom’s old fashioned? rose bushes and cut off a lot of new growth. A LOT. I mistook them for raspberry bushes.

I was wondering how I can take those shoots and replant them. I’ve got them in water now. They range from about 3 feet to 1 foot in length – I’ve taken the flowers off, but some have buds.

I read that root powder is the way to go, but I don’t have any handy. The soil is pretty clay like and we live in Minnesota.

Any help Is greatly appreciated!

Q&A: Japanese beetle problem?!?

Question by sugar high: Japanese beetle problem?!?
Japanese beetles are eating our roses, butterfly bushes, grapes, peach tree and, raspberry bushes.
Do you know a way to kill them without harming the plants? Oh and I am not getting one of those bags that kill them because those bags just attract more of them… I already go around and put them in a water bottle filled with soapy water but is there anything better?! please help

That’s really unfortunate! It sounds like you have a beautiful garden/yard going on! Japanese Beetles aren’t the worst infestations so don’t worry! I suggest you use this product: http://www.pestmall.com/Beetle-Bagger-Japanese-Beetle-Trap-Kit.html. I’m sure it’ll help you. I used it for my mini garden…not nearly as grand as yours. I hope your beetles will be gone shortly!!

gardeners and/or bakers? Making raspberry jam w/o using canning method?

Question by G M: gardeners and/or bakers? Making raspberry jam w/o using canning method?
I was wondering if there was a way to make raspberry jam or jelly without using the canning method.I have a HUGE raspberry bush in my yard but nobody actually likes them whole and I really don’t want to buy all the supplies for canning.Thanks in advance!

Answer by Proud to be 51
I make jam without all the canning equipment. Just cook the fruit with sugar and Certo pectin (follow the instructions on the inside of the pectin package), pour them in processed jars (I think processing instructions are in the pectin package also), seal the jars up and then turn them upside down for about 10-15 minutes. Turn them upright again, and within an hour the “pop” in the center of the lid should pop down. If it doesn’t pop down, refrigerate the ones that don’t. They should be eaten right away. I’ve only had this happen with one jar in all the time I’ve made jam. Good luck.
