Calling All Peeps!
Comments (8)Rose, that would have been wonderful, but I think I'd better give you/everyone directions to our community garden, because that's where I'm most likely to be found nowadays! I seem to be almost living there now. Saturday we had a garden meeting so I missed Carmen's event - darn it!! but I got two new extensions to my garden plot built out Saturday afternoon and Sunday, and put some sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as several ornamentals, in the ground. I'm harvesting now! Eating yellow squash for dinner just about every day, and finding out that 3 plants of hot banana peppers was way too many to plant to supply the one senior citizen who wanted them. I'm already having to go door to door to get rid of them! I can't wait for my beans to start producing. Any time anyone wants to come by and visit our community garden, you are always welcome. It's at the corner of Oak & Hopkins Streets in the West End of Atlanta, just one block off Ralph David Abernathy (turn onto Hopkins from RDA across from Dunkin Donuts). Or you could call me - email me or I'm in the phone book - and I'll meet you there. My garden is the one at the top of the hill in the back, sort of fenced in, with vines growing all over the fences and beans climbing bamboo poles....See MoreSlightly OT but my hosta peeps know it all! :)
Comments (15)I think your description of the rumors is very good - they ran rampant last spring - and I suspect the truth is much more mundane. Certainly there were personal and professional issues involved in his move. A more reasonable question might be why Hans would have stayed with one local specialized wholesaler for such a long time. Shady Oaks still concentrates on hostas and, though they have expanded into some other plants, their selection is still quite limited. Walters, on the other hand, may offer the widest range of perennials of any wholesaler in the US. I know Hans has developed interests beyond the world of hostas, and his opportunity to explore other plants would have been much more limited had he stayed at SO. I stopped at Walters last summer on the way to the convention and fell into spending a couple of hours touring around the farms with the president of the company. They were excited to have Hans, primarily for his interest in some other plants beyond the hostas... So... without participating in the rumor mill... I'm excited for Hans to have the resources of Walters to explore his interests... and yet as a Minnesotan, I was sorry to see him go. And to remain OT, I like HOSTAS, but ligularias in my sandy soil tend to droop so dramatically at the slightest bit of brighter light or heat, I only grow the species plant ligularia przewalskii. It tolerates dry conditions much better than the bigger leaved, more dramatic ones. It has smallish leaves with neat cut edges, so it has its own charm. Nice companion for HOSTAS....See Moreall clear here, how about other peeps?
Comments (4)Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, not a cloud in the sky. We were out on the Patio at 7:00 PM, when a strong wind came up. Pollen from the Oak Tree started showering us, and we quickly ran in. I had about 10 of those wormy green things in my hair. I had just used the Leaf Blower to clean off the Patio when the strom blew in. This is what I woke up to this morning. That yucky stuff all over the place. Today, is cloudy with 98% humidity. Pug in the Pollen. She loves the Camera. Gayle...See MoreCan you believe they do that to PEEPS!!!
Comments (25)Monica, That is what I was thinking! Where are there ever any leftover PEEPS! You people are sounding like a bunch of mean, rotten, nasty -------- actually fun-loving goof balls! Hey, one of you texas gals that are part of the TEXAS TOUR, go and get some PEEPS if it is possible and have a roast and take pictures for us. That would really give the rest of us a chance to FEEL like part of your fun. Who's game for it?...See MoreFeathers11
