I really wish I never planted ___________.

I've never planted a silver maple but sure regretted a previous owner planting several - horrible surface roots. I planted myosotis/forget me not seeds my first year here and I really regret that - the seed germinates everywhere and then they all mildew. the seeds are really sticky. triple yuck. I've always read daylilies are the easiest of perennials - they do not do well for me; it is not sunny enough. I have only planted white ones and when they do bloom, they're a pale yellow, not a white. but mostly they don't really look healthy. I'm giving them another year, but I think it's hopeless. some innocuous 2" pot of a sweet looking small groundcover that is trying to take over the world. After the first summer when I could not dig up all its roots, I smothered it with cardboard and put mulch on top. It has survived to torment me. I like purple oxalis, though; it spreads but is very easy to rip up in areas where I don't want it.

Cathy, I just stumbled across your cage master plan. Note that none of the 3 message titles about this would lead the casual forum reader to know about the project, and there are far more casual readers than posters! Rather than losing the project and your considerable efforts to the forum ether, let's put it in the FAQ along with the other cage. I have copied your text instructions. I think we should wait until the cage is complete, screened, and populated with plants rather than show the bare frame as the only image. Other people will be unlikely to duplicate it precisely; it is the general appearance and major construction tips that count. The FAQ is around year after year, the timing of the project is not critical for this year only. Please use "butterfly cage" as part of any future message titles so that I and others will be alert to its progress.

That *is* confusing when you can't figure out where a hosta came from, isnt' it? LOL I had one I purchased as Julie Morss. When I got it last year it was green on green variegated - I even have a pic of it. This year...? It is Night Before Christmas. ???????? LOL I have NO idea how it all happened but somehow I got a mislabeled hosta that really looked like the one I thought I purchased!! Did that even make sense? lol

One of the things I've loved about my remodel is the immigrant workers I've come in contact with-- what craftsmen. I'm very touched to see the South American stone workers, the Russian painters, and the Italian tile guys working hard to bring my kitchen together. How blessed we are, and what a great country is the U.S.A. And to the O.P.--- sorry, I only know how to sing happy birthday in Polish!

Sorry, I only know Gaelic....and it's dirty. Funny, but dirty! Took Latin in high school which really comes in handy when getting together with friends! I am very fluent in pig Latin. Used to speak it all the time when our kids were just learning to spell. Oodgay Ucklay!
