I thought I do not need any intervention for myself, had all kind of large seedlings and 15 newly bought hostas sitting there to be planted. Why buy more hostas? And then I looked at the Hosta Library Auction page, and Naylor Creek had h. 'Liberty' and 'Silver Bay' for sale, just what I needed for those spots in front of the house. They arrived today, each multiple eyes, large plants, Wow. Thanks Naylor! You see you do not need any intervention, simply talk yourself into buying another one. I did it too!

Wow dsf....you figured this all out ;) Yes you are right....I am no fool and the operations manager is clearly, the soft spoken apologetic voice who tries to keep calm. Everyone has a job to do, I honestly can say that my dealings with this company overall have been positive. I am wise to the business, and I can tell when I have had the BS sent my way. I know that there has been a little nickel and diming going on, and one sub really tried to stick it to me. I called him on it and gave him an out...he took it and made everything work out so that the price did not go above what he had already cheated me on. I just don't feel that getting into arguments, agitated and fighting with them is productive. I have kept my cool within reason and they know it. In the end I have a very nice pool and they made a little extra money. My main gripe is how they can have the sales guy keep doing this to people. He does this repeatedly and I have it from some of the subs that this is a recurrent theme. I was even emailed today by someone in my area who is going through the same exact situation....we both guessed immediately that we had the same sales guy. You know who he is I am sure of it. He may be great at design and sealing the deal, but he really leaves a sour taste in your mouth in the end. That is not good for business. I would recommend this company again, but not this sale rep. Anyway thanks for the positive wishes, I think everything is going work out and in the end they built us a very beautiful pool.

We never saw "24" when it was originally on, so we watched the entire series on Netflix last year. It was wonderful! Last night was great...I just hate having to wait a week to find out what's happening.

Shelby, that looks very healthy to me! I planted mine at the end of February so they've had a bit longer in the ground. Other than being a little bit taller than yours they look pretty much on par. My first flush ended about two weeks ago. Once the flowers were dropping petals I clipped the spent blooms about one or two 5-leaflets down and I'm getting a bunch of new growth from those areas. Currently have about 10 buds that will probably open up in the next week or two. If you haven't fertilized yet I would definitely suggest that you do so. I used Jobe's Organic Rose Food. First round of fertilizing was done Mother's Day Weekend and the second one was about a month later. They definitely seem to respond well to a good shot of food. Good luck, keep up the great work and enjoy those beautiful blooms!
