You'd be proud of me!!!

16 years ago

In my older age I am finally getting organized(as far as my hostas are concerned)! I have made a graph and taken black and white pictures of my hosta beds and relabeled all my known hostas.

Well my trip to MN. and WI. blew all my well documentaded information!!!!

I now have to redo quite a lot of it as I took out 4 ten years in one place old hostas and others to make room for all my new ones. Are we ever satisfied with our gardens? I think not!

It was impulse which led me to all those new hostas and now I'm paying the price. What fun though.

Oh fer crying out loud - nobody's talking about "need" here - only "want"! And, I want Kathleen's new red dishes, LOL. I went to Marshall's today and they're not there and they're not in my TJM either - but I have another bigger and better Homegoods to hit tomorroow! I remember those dishes from Jain's blog where she used them under her Christmas plates - so I went and found the Christmas plates and found 4 and so I need 4 of those red plates, umm I mean I want them not need them.

Alright, alright..stop hatin' on the purse y'all :) :) My mother tells me it's "quite fashionable", lol. Maybe that should be my first sign to run..not walk away from it :) I'll put some more pics up of the whole space. I'm needing some help pulling some other things together to make this table work. I've been ready and quite willing for awhile to make a change. And this has helped set me on that path. Kathleen, great idea about using them as an end table. I'll be needing something, once I get rid of some of the other stuff I have. I may have a spot. Although, they're not quite as big in person as they appear in the pic. Thanks again everyone! So far, I've yet to have any buyer's remorse :)

Congratulations!!! Anything you decide doesn't work in the next house will be much easier to get rid of after this experience. I think dumpsters are a great way to go to really, really purge. It's amazing how much broken down or trash stuff we hang onto. Gloria

Char,
Because someone on the forum said to do that to save money!! I was going to do it all in color but I took their advice.
I have a 3 ringed hard back folder with paper size pictures and I numbered all my hostas and then put the corresponding number on it's picture. I will just retake the pictures of the areas I put my new hostas in. I got some very reasonable priced mat photo paper of 100 sheets for $2.00 so I'm using that instead of just typing paper. I should have these pictures for a long time.

Since I know just by looking at most of the hosta what their names are I only need it for look alikes and finding names for lost tagged hostas.
