It beats being corrigible - which is nowhere near as fun.

What is just one more?

As long as you don't add that one more to the other 40 one mores it is still just one more.

You should know that there is no need to try and convince us. Waking up in the morning is a good enough reason to buy just one more or twenty more.

Eternal Flame as a good grower for me last year. It took a lot of sun. My DH is one of my worse enablers. He's out in the woods behind us (which belongs to the township) planting hostas as we speak.

Frank, can I quote you?

"Waking up in the morning is a good enough reason to buy just one more or twenty more."

You are such a guru!!

I think it was on the Smaller Homes Forum that someone said, "It doesn't count if you throw away the receipts." I go with both of these as deeply philosophical.

Gesila, how neat of your DH to take the heat if the beautification program is discovered.

How about putting up a sign that says Hosta Desplay Garden donated/planted by........ and make it official. Do you have a Keep XX Beautiful up Michigan way?

Oh yeah. Someone commented on my thread about the Hosta Shade Structure that "it never happened if you don't get a picture." How philosophical is that!!

So where's the Eternal Flame? Never happened?

And I was out potting around the garden, in between bouts of rain. Eventually it just opened the spigots and I had to retreat, dripping wet. But I put every last SEED in the house into the ground, including watermelon and birdhouse gourds (not together), summer squash in the front yard by the street, some wild Florida Everglades tomatoes, milkweed for the monarchs, parsley, oregano, chives,--many in the pirogue (double ended fiberglass Cajun canoe)--if not by the street. From about 2pm it has been totally black outside, with the street lights on. Our Civil Defense siren went off at some point, don't know what that was about, and it was coming down like hail at one point, just not tough, but it got really cool. All the wild birds grabbed food from the feeders and disappeared. My parrots on the back deck were very quiet, so when there was a lull in the storm, we rolled their cages up the ramp into the warm area by the dryer for them to get comfy. My potting is over for the day, with the Lakeside Full Tide being the last one to find itself a home.

Now to wait for the next spate of orders to arrive, about 15 more in all, which will bring the grand total of unique plants to ----are you ready for this?---136, provided no bonus plants are included....

I cannot wait to get our metal roof so I can relax in a window seat watching the hosta and listening to the rain while reading HOSTAPEDIA, shopping list in hand. :)

I just paid for eight new streakers today. The sixty new hosta that are still in their pots outside don't count because they are not all streakers. One is but the other fifty-nine aren't.

Hornbaker Gardens hasn't even had their open house yet. I went on opening day but the hosta were not all up. I have to go back once they are all fully up. Since I am going I might as well make the most of it and pick up a few things while I am there.

Of course you must make the most of it, Frank. Good thinking.
Have fun.
