Heh, saw the Google asteroid doodle last night. Cute! Bet J they'd take it down after the Russian meteor. Gone this morn. Bad timing.

So Cal folks: our new house has roses, and I've never done any sort of gardening. I pruned to about half the height, but the next door neighbor's gardener said I need to cut a lot more. Is this true? Help, please!

Hmm haven't done roses but bumping for a smart so cal gardener like Spidra or Anika
- SteVe C
Yeah, I cut mine down to about 6" above ground.
- Anika
I'm not a roses expert by any means. I don't know what "half" means because you haven't said what height they were before. But how low you cut depends on how much of the plant you want to be woody. There's a free rose pruning workshop at Altadena Community Garden this Saturday. Topic: Roses: Planting, Pruning & Propagating Fee: Free When: 11:00 AM, February 2nd 2013 Where: Altadena...

Sorry, it's probably at least 6 feet high, and I've come down to about 3-4'. I'll have to find a workshop near me. The gardener suggested about 18". Most of the videos I've seen say about 1/3 to 1/2 should be cut down :(.

Check your local Armstrong Gardens. I believe they're giving rose and fruit tree workshops this weekend. But, yeah, 3 feet sounds high. The amount you leave will go woody. Having 3 foot wood sticks standing there tends not to look so great. Don't worry about cutting it back, it's all going to grow back as green shoots.
- Spidra Webster
Thanks guys!

Jaclyn, don't be afraid to cut them right back to four to six inches high, they will come back just fine. While you are at it go ahead and apply some compost to help build the soil and feed the roots. Cottonseed Meal is a good slow release fertilizer that I like to use with my roses.

Anyone else wish there was a home in ALA for ER libs? Ref & Instruction have divisions, we have...an interest group? Am I missing something?
Thinking about signing up for the ER&L online conference since I can't be there in person, but would love to do a local viewing party. Anyone in SoCal up for it?
.@orgmonkey So, SCELC Vendor Day. Useful? In your neck of the woods, so I imagine you go every year?
OK, second day of daycare/work. Let's do this! </brave face>

There were cookies out from a playdate this afternoon. Mr K, as he headed to bed: Please eat a cookie mommy. There's *quite* a lot left.

Gah, so the on campus daycare will only accept babies if they start in the fall. Anyone found a nanny before? Tips?
I used care.com but mostly for babysitters. But the sitters we had were awesome and have stayed friends as they've moved on.

I know a singer who works as a nanny/sitter in NY. Dropped her a line to see if she can recommend some sites.
- Hedgehog
I've used care.com before, too, and liked it a lot.
- Rochelle
Yes,I agree....care.com
- Shevonne
Jenny suggests Sittercity.com Sitters can have background checks done on themselves.
- Hedgehog
Thanks all!
- Jaclyn aka spamgirl
I think Sittercity and Care.com are very similar. Both do the background checks thing. I just used Care because I had a coupon code.

Hmm, only every other tweet seems to be coming through. So, Fitbit arrived! Turns out bouncing baby = steps. (He's heavy, so I'll believe it).

Ooh, my new Fitbit has shipped! Time to see if bouncing the baby all day is as much exercise as it feels like.
