>sigh< My Dear Mom

Category: gardening from scratch | Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:52 pm

I swear, me and my mom need to have a talk about her planting buying sprees.

We went to Lowes today to get a SCREW and come home with tons of plants and pretty pots to put them in. And the whole time Im thinking....you get to buy them BUT I GET TO PLANT THEM!!!! AND Im still 5 bushes behind. >sigh<

We are moving a small palm from the front of the house to the back in late winter/early spring and she wants to put like a rose tree or something of the sort there. Well, today she started looking at them. and wanted to buy one. I was like ,Mom, ummm...and where are we going ot put this "oh so pretty" tree til I move the palm IN LATE WINTER? She tells me, oh you can put it in the green house (which Im building at the end of summer for my seeds) And she looks at me with a straight face. >.> I had to grab her by the shirt and pull her away from the "oh so pretty" trees with a promise, that come spring, we will find the perfect "oh so pretty" to put there.

She like a kid in the candy store, but I get to suffer the rotten tooth ache.

Ebay loves my mom as much as me now, I think. I have seeds coming in almost everyday that I have to label and stash away. I found out today that I actually have some live plants coming in too....that will have to go into the greenhouse til sping.

>sigh< and Im still 5 bushes behind but the list keeps growing of what needs to go into the ground.
5 bushes, 10 flowers, 4 vines and 6 plants to be potted in pretty pots.

I think Ill get this all done about the time the bulbs are due to go under. Figures.

LOL I used gardening to get away from the stress and to think...its like medtation. But now I have to go to football pratice (yes Im on the womans full contact football team here) to get away from my garden.

Gee mom, I love you too

LMAOooooooooooo that's great, I love it! Your mum sounds like my partner... comes home with a new frangipani tree everyday... "but this one is ALL PINK, and the last one was a mixed pink"... have you seen the size of those trees?! Even young growth is thick and needs a lot of room for root growth, I'm up to my ears in cuttings and some have even found a home indoors. Where will I put them all?!

I wish I had your problem with your mom bringing them
in.I'd be out digging holes:)
I would never make a football player for sure.Give me a shovel and rake I could handle them all. :)
