Christmas Wish List

18 years ago

I know gardening is months away, but my husband asked me what I want for Christmas today. I know when I am in the middle of the gardening season I can think of a million things I want, but now that the gardening season is over I can't think of one single thing I want.....I was hoping for some help from some fellow gardeners, what's on your Christmas wish list?

Vermiculite, perlite, a bale of peat, plant labels, and new tubes for my plant lights. If I've been a really good girl (probably haven't), I'd like another seed starting mat. I know that's stretching it. Can you guess how I spend my winter months?

Oh, more snow would be good. My gardens would really appreciate it. Sledding would be much easier. Hope Mother Nature will come through.

I would definitely request a functioning remote thermometer. I have one but it never seems to read when the main control is inside. I think maybe it's too far away. And I'm constantly focused on the temps. So it's quite frustrating not to be able to tell what's going on in there. FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE That about a hundred other things :)

I agree with Jan - I would love to have Southern Dazzle from Nicole Harry. Now I could also make a want list that is quite long. I would love to have many of the Stamile intros for '09 and some from the Gossards and some from the Rices and on and on and on. I have told my husband that I want $$ for daylilies for Christmas and birthday. I think he will gladly do this since he has such a hard time shopping for me. He is happy for me to make it so easy for him. At least I hope he takes me at my word since I have already reserved Sir Francis Drake and Get Jiggy from Floyd Cove plus won several on the Lily Auction. Happy Holidays, everyone! Ann

Tally - As you know Texas is community property and you should have been able to keep 50% of it. It is awful how much he took from you - even the toilet paper? Sounds like what one of my bridesmaids did to my in-laws on my wedding day when they were being nasty - she hid the toilet paper! ha! But taking it and leaving you with none is really terrible! I'm glad you have friends who helped you out to get you back on your feet. Good thing you found some used furniture on Craigslist. It is time to pull yourself up by the proverbial boot straps and start anew. A couple other good places to find used furniture, etc. is Goodwill and Salvation Army stores - if you have any of them nearby. I guess it is a good thing he didn't take the plants from your garden!

Even one goat can change family. Two would be beyond their wildest dreams, probably. They can actually make a living with that one goat. I'll try to find the website--fascinating.

I am not sure where you live Kate, but around here Mother Nature has sure came through with the snow. Its magical, my little boy is in 7th heaven! He can't wait to go sledding and snowmobiling. He is outside right now helping Dad plow out the driveway.

Even though I can think of garden-related things....try FINDING them in the stores at this time of year!
We're good on snow, too. Glad we finally have some, but this cold can go away anytime!

When, my husband asked. I thought, I would like some different plants from the mail order catalogs, that I like, but would never buy myself. He thought that was great and I'm so excited to pick out a couple plants! I also asked for some bags of dirt. I'm going to try winter sowing.
