You're right, you get lovely hosta from Hallson. It seems to me they are a bit deep in the ground, but I'm not the expert here. Wait for someone to express it properly. I sometimes err on the side of too shallow, and that is easier to deal with, because you just add more potting mix. until everything is happy. I realized when I saw your Marilyn Monroe, that she is also a red legged hosta, and I love the white backs on her ruffly leaves. Reminds me of the picture where she stands over the sidewalk vent blowing up her frilly pleated skirt. Perfect symbol of an American icon.

LynnNM - new fur baby?

Awww, thanks for asking! Yes, we got our new fur kid from a Doberman rescue group a week ago yesterday. We've been in the process of bonding and getting to know one another ever since. He's a sweet, slender, smart, 3 y/o male . . . who still doesn't have a name! Since DD named Sasha (and previously Chloe), DS named Ronin and I named Turk, my sweet husband gets to name this boy. And he's dragging this out while he ponders the best name for him. Grrrrrr! I do have veto rights though and have already nixed "Bozz" (for Brian Bosworth, a favorite OU football player of DH's from back awhile.) I told him that the dog was not getting any name that I would be embarrassed to tell people . . . or that was stupid (LOL). And, sad to say, I don't have any pics of our new fur kid yet. Emily took a quite a few of them and then headed back to college on Monday before sharing them with me. So, I'll take some pics and let you all see my sweet boy in the next few days. Thanks so much for thinking of me, though. It made my day!

Some questions about my new flower bed...
Q

In my opinion you have way too many flowers there. Newly planted marigolds, for instance, should multiply in size at least 3 times. I like the way you have your plants arranged, though. Different plants have different water requirements. Do you still have the plant tags for all these? The tags will tell you how much water each requires. Marigolds do not like it too soggy. One inch of water per week is plenty for them, unless this spot is full sun all day long. That makes a difference, and all the hard surfaces surrounding this little bed will make it hot too. If they are in full sun all day, maybe an inch of water twice a week would be better. The marigolds will let you know by wilting. Since you have so many plants in this small space, they will deplete soil nutrients rapidly. I might fertilize once a month or so, later in the season. FWIW, I never use potting soil except in POTS. For this application, if additional soil is needed, I use bagged garden soil.

Lost My Fur Baby

So sorry for your loss. McKenzie was a beautiful girl -- such a sweet face. You gave her a wonderful life for many years and a loving path across the rainbow bridge. Several years ago when we had to help our old girl across. Fifteen years earlier we had found her starving in the woods and she was around 2 when we rescued her. We did it at the vets, but we were able to pet her and feed her ham and cheese as the pain medicine took effect and she went to sleep. She had been so arthritic that just seeing her body relax like it hadn't in months gave me the peace I needed to know we were doing the right thing. You did too and I hope you find solace in remembering the wonderful life she probably never would have had without you.

That looks like a Madagascar Palm, Kristy. It is related to the Plumeria. You may remember, from WOB, that Jeri picked one up for Eddie, at a plant show, a few months ago. Watch out for those thorns!

Hi Bri! How old is that MP? How tall? It looks great. Love the dog, as well... beautiful. I'm very partial to the Bully breeds.

Thanks all! I didn't know what the palm was but I loved it, it was just a pic, not mine. The brug is a noid,the caterpillar was pretty,but man, did it do some damage on my plumies. The new puppy is only 10 months old, a bullmastiff,b/c you know I didn't have enough work already with the 2 kids and 2 other dogs, but I'm a sucker for animals so....... welcome Bella.
