Beware The Dog Days Of Summer!

Heat is one of the worst enemies that roses face, and the months
of July and August can be scorchers. Not only are your roses at
risk of heat damage, but the accompanying humidity breeds
insects and fungal diseases.

Here's a look at what we can do to keep our roses beautiful and
healthy until the cooling days of autumn arrive.

Make sure that your roses have all the water that they need.
Remember to water from the roots and not from the top to avoid
fungus development and to make sure that your bushes can drink
their full.

Water daily when the temperature is at or above 90F. Pot-grown
roses may need to be watered twice per day. Avoid watering
during the hottest times of day to guard against excessive
evaporation.

Spray fungicide on a weekly basis to keep these humidity-born
diseases at bay, and cut back canes and foliage which show any
signs of infection.

Apply light feedings of fertilizer at least three times per
week. Don't over-fertilize as this will cause burning.

Apply 2 to 3 cups of organics weekly, and stop applying your
organics during the last week of August.

July and August are prime times for spider mites who thrive in
the heat and humidity. Spritz your foliage and buds with water
on a regular basis to show these pests that they are not welcome
on your roses.

Now is not the time to fall behind on your deadheading chores.
Your canes need all of their strength to support new growth, so
pay careful attention.

Start cutting back your roses in the latter part of August so
they will be ready to produce those huge autumn blooms which are
right around the corner.

Trim the stems and branches that are trying to grow toward the
center of the bush. This not only increases air circulation, but
it removes prime breeding grounds for spider mites and helps to
reduce the appearance of fungus infections that thrive in hot,
moist areas within your bushes.

If you are planning to exhibit your roses in any of the fall
shows, you'll need to carefully time your cane pruning
activities in order to allow enough time for recycling to occur.

Here is a chart of the most common recycling times for selected
species. Soil condition, temperature, bush health and other
planting and growing conditions may cause these times to vary
widely, so use this chart only as a guideline.

Slow recycling roses, such as "Uncle Joe", "New Zealand" and
"Touch of Class" require 50 to 60 days to recycle.

Medium slow roses, including "Crystalline", "Elizabeth Taylor",
"Peace", and "Olympiad" will require 50 to 54 days.

Your average varieties, which include "Color Magic", "Double
Delight", "Gold Medal", "Nicole", and "French Lace" only require
45 to 49 days.

Fast varieties, like "Altissimo", "First Prize", and "Fragrant
Cloud", will need 40 to 44 days.

"Dainty Bess", "Playboy", "Playgirl", and the other very fast
varieties will recycle in just 35 to 39 days

Microsoft Excel, Chart Ranges on a line graph!?

How do you make a graph with two different chart ranges on both side of the line graph? ex: two lines temp. and relative humidity, two different scales, i want one scale range thing on each side.

You want what is known as a double-y chart, which Excel can do if you turn on the secondary axis. For a scatter graph, lay out your data as a table of three columns, x, y1 and y2. The select this table, and use the chart wizard to plot the data in whatever style you want. Then, double-click on a data point for the series which you want on the second y axis, to bring up the "Format data series" tool, select the "Axis" tab, and set the axis to "Secondary axis" instead of "Primary axis".

This works with column charts too. Note that Excel doesn't put anything in the legend to tell you which data is plotted on which axis, so you'll need to label each axis and maybe also set the series name to include the information about which axis is relevant.
