Trying Hosta la Vista from Word, compressed

4 years ago

Dream Queen

Kimono Dragon

Empress Wu (Wu, Wu) sorry.

Sum and Substance

Great Expectations (Ichi ban)

Kimodo Dragon

Fragrants

5 shots never kicked in.

Well I got some but missed a lot. I think I am going to stick with selfies. Fit Photo resized them (I think), but I'll be darned if I could post from it. Word started out great, but pooped out. I just have to stay with what works for me. I'll just have to live with a soggy bottom at times....oh the sacrifices I make for my art.

lindalana, they do. Unknown to me for a long time the walnut trees in this area are poison (Juglon gas) to many plants, but it doesn't bother the hosta. I have no idea, but maybe it keeps pests away as well. I have good luck on many other spots as well so...…...

Hi Betty, First of all, your platform Windows XP SP2 is just fine. Windows Vista just came out but I would not buy it yet as it may have a lot of bugs...wait a bit...at least this is what I'm going to do befor switching to Windows Vista. More importantly is your Office package. From Office 97, I have upgraded to Office 2000, and last year to the latest Office XP.That seems to work fine with me. You have a lot of hostas. WOW!! 770 is a lot. It may be that you have reached over the limit that your blank CD can handle. Let's pursue this privately if you dont mind. My email is ghislain@hawk.igs.net The last CD that I burned took 550megs. If we exchange coordinates, we could possible send each other our CD backups. Hoping to hear from you.

Perfect ! Thank you! I love the combo. It looks just like I hoped it would be! I hope I have my MM enough room. If not I can always easily thin the mondo/monkey grass and move it further out. I planted 7 very small MM and two young S&S. Behind them. The S&S have some frost damage and the grass is new and spindly also ( sounds kind of horrible when Zi describe it) , but I'll take a picture later in the summer. This is along the front edge of a shade new garden where I have some seating. I was hoping for a little privacy without completely hiding it. I have a Shade Fanfare to one side on the other side of a small tree but we'll see how I like it there. It might be too similiar without being the same it it or might be fine.

Thanks for your comments, Ken and Phil, however I do not agree with you. We all do what we believe to be in our best interests. Vive la difference! +++>>> absolutely lois.. i dont come here out of a need to argue... i hate such... why i was never any good as an atty ... if you read passion into a reply... its passion for the hosta.. not some attack.. trust me on that ... OK???? ===>>> the original posters first comment was about paranoia .... and i think there is a certain paranoia with some of the newbies here ... ==>>> and pondy .. be proud that you posted a post that stimulates discussion ... there is nothing to regret in that situation .... the biggest problem in the typed word... and the reading of said typed word.. is interpretation ... lois and i could have the same conversation with an adult beverage next to the fire pit ... and NEVER misunderstand intent ... its when we type/read that problems sometimes happen ... regardless.. absolutely nothing for you to be concerned about .... have fun peeps.. peace out .... ken

Your hostas are very happy and huge. I agree with the pictures, stay with what's working at least for now. I used the one I mentioned and easy and fast, BUT, somehow it messes up typing and makes me put text in another post. Lol

Well, buy a garden kneeling pad to sit on.

My previous house, I lived in for 20 years. Z5 Ohio also. My yard was filled with black walnut and white walnut trees and I grew every flower, bulb, shrub, perennial and 30'x40' vegetable garden and never had a problem. I wonder if the reports are slanted for some reason.

More plants have died at this house, but I used to drag 350' of hose around here and now I have some sprinklers.

That's what "they" say, but I dont buy it. I lived there 20 years, gardened and ate the walnuts. They are a much harder/thicker shell than English walnuts. Stronger good taste. The nuts are best picked up when green. Once the outer shell deteriorates it is a black mess that can be tracked in the house.

These are Pignuts. I guess pigs like them. They look like tiny little walnuts and taste like them. It would be a task to gather enough for aa light snack.

popmama They (2) are going from very nice to awesome. One always has done the best (pictured). I used to (maybe half) jokingly say that is because I stepped on it early on. This year I stepped on the other one (not intentionally), Shasta went after a rabbit and it was let her loose, get slammed down to the ground or run down the hill holding on as best I could. Choosing door number 3 I crushed half of the just emerging, always lagging GE. I can't recommend it, I can only relate what happened.
