As you can see, I'm Rebekah.
I reside in New Zealand. I've notied that most of the places I've seen on here (with a quick look that I did have) most of you seem to be Americans?
We've got 48 acres here on which we farm dairy cattle (ayrshires). We milk our cows and all milk goes into feeding other animals.
We've also got a reasonably sized garden of which in last count there was 97 roses. Over half have been lost in all the weeds. (There just simply isn't enough hours in the day to run a farm and look after such a big garden).
I'm unsure if I'm allowed to do this, but here is a web link to pictures of the roses in my garden.

I'm a proud and keen vegie gardner. Last winter I made a new vegie garden which I'm still in the process of correcting the soil acidity.
My garden is at the end of its summer producing now. Tomatoes have again had another poor season of producing (thats what, 2 years in a row now?). I feel a little better in knowing that it isn't just me who has had poor tomato production over these past couple of years. Although it does nothing for the ego to see poor vegies in the garden
I've recently found a new weakness in the garden - calla lillies. I just adore them. Such easy care and they are long keepers when cut. Such a shame they don't smell!
to Hallson's!
