does anyone know any breeders of miniature or regular pot belly pigs in or near michigan?
Adopting a pot-bellied pig from a rescue group is an excellent alternative to buying one from a breeder. The rescue group will likely be able to give you lots of information on the individual pig you’re adopting, and will also have resources on pig care in general.
A large rescue of pot-bellied pigs recently took place in Michigan, and adopters are being sought for the pigs. The pigs’ story can be read online at http://www.9sites.com/jean.htm . To inquire about adopting one of the pigs, call Jean at 269-695-6550. I believe this is a residential number, so no late-night phone calls, please!

Growing Miniature Roses Faq
Growing miniature roses is a great choice for gardeners at all levels of experience, especially beginners looking to enhance their yard with roses, without sacrificing hours in the process of growing them. Like their full sized counterparts, miniature roses are grown in all shapes and colors, but unlike their larger counterparts, they require much less upkeep.
Do miniature roses grow better inside or outside?
Miniature roses adapt well to both indoor and outdoor cultivating, so before you begin decide which works best for you decide where they are going. Some experts say minis are easier to care for outdoors, where they have natural protection and nourishment in their normal environment, something lost to those plants grown inside.
Does it matter if I want to plant my miniature roses in a pot outside, rather than in the ground?
Many gardeners will tell you thatgrowing miniature roses in a large pot is the better choice, whether you’re growing them inside or outside. The reasoning is that potted minis can be moved easily and without trauma when necessary, whether it is to relocate to a sunnier spot, or purely for decorative aesthetics. If the plant succumbs to aphids, black spot, or any other invasive element, restorative care is more effective when the plant can be lifted off of ground level, where air circulation is improved and the the risk of recontamination is lessened. Potted miniature roses can be a lovely addition to your Outdoor Garden or landscape, often adding an architectural element with the planters.
What size pot should I buy for my miniature roses?
When choosing a planter for your miniature roses, look for something large enough to accommodate the plant for at least one year. Make sure it measures between 12- and 15-inches wide so it can manage your plant’s excessive root system.
What soil should I use when I pot my minis?
Potted miniature roses require a high nutrient soil with good drainage. The usual garden soil has a habit of becoming packed, which can interfere with drainage. Adding peat moss to existing soil can help improve drainage. Give your plant’s roots a boost by incorporating compost at first spring feeding, plus a natural fertilizer like fish emulsion at first flowering.
Are the rules for sunlight exposure different for potted minis?
Only slightly, but minis definitely need plenty of good direct sunlight. After planting your mini roses in the pot, give them a good soaking of water and set them in a place that receives at least four hours of direct sunlight every day. If you can find the right spot, morning sun is great for minis, followed by afternoon shade.
How often should I water my potted minis?
Do a touch test on the soil in your minis pot every day to confirm that it isn’t dried out. You may have to water on a daily basis to keep the soil moist. Follow the rose watering guideline, which is 1- to 1.5-inches of water per week.
Do I need to prune my minis?
Luckily, miniature roses require very little pruning. All you really need to do is cut the flower from the stem after it blooms, then cut back the stem at the next bud facing out. Only after they have completed blooming will you need to prune them. This post-bloom pruning improves air circulation for the plant, promotes flowering, and keeps the plant healthy.
