I guess, I know the day will come when I have little energy and I will have to sit all the time. When that day comes I want to know that I did all I could when I was able to. Does that make any sense?--RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-2160509662082149232009-07-28T08:16:12.479-05:002009-07-28T08:16:12.479-05:00You two need to bottle up the energy and sell it. ...You two need to bottle up the energy and sell it.

I thought that might tickle you. :-)
Lisa,...Darla,<br />I thought that might tickle you. :-)<br /><br />Lisa, <br />We do feel accomplished. I can’t wait until next year to see it when it has a chance to grow in some.<br /> <br />Lynn,<br />Whew! There for a minute I thought no one was going to speak up and we were going to look like slackers! I’m glad we aren’t the only ones.<br /> <br />Gail, <br />With all the bickering it is something we look forward to.<br /> <br />Racquel, <br />We pretty much plant any time during the growing season. We water more than the average folks though, I’m pretty sure. The drip system is set to come on every other day so the ground stays good and moist. Being in full sun we can’t go as long as some people without watering this time of year. Anyway, my point is, I think it’s our frequent watering that allows us to plant now.<br /> <br />You are so right Betsy! I bet you and yours have a nice trip planned somewhere this coming weekend. Take lot of pictures for us.<br /> <br />Sweet Bay,<br />Gardening with Jamie is very nice. Sometimes we bicker about how we are going to do things, but Jamie always lets me have my way in the end. He’s very tolerant of me.--RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-16210362087869630602009-07-27T22:43:10.255-05:002009-07-27T22:43:10.255-05:00You guys have accomplished so much!

We try to get most of our stuff done before noon in this hot weather.<br /> <br />Jodi,<br />We don’t have enough shade to grow hostas just yet. We do have three that were planted before the storm, one of them does pretty good but the other two usually burn pretty badly by July. We’ll put the captain on the wish list for another two or three years. We’ll have some shade then.<br /> <br />Tina, <br />I took pictures of the entire bed but the veronica was just too small. I had to just post a tight shot of it. Darla is very nice to do that and we will enjoy her beloved mother’s coneflowers for many years to come. --RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-23918228872881617552009-07-27T11:46:21.644-05:002009-07-27T11:46:21.644-05:00You guys rock!

Here, Longsuffering Spouse does the mowing and whippersnipping, and heavy lifting for me, his fragile (huh) wife. He doesn't normally do any weeding, but he loves the plants and says he's afraid he'd pull out something that isn't a weed. It's been done before..by me!<br />To go along with your Starship Enterprise Iris you really oughta have the Captain Kirk hosta.

All we had to do was dig with post hole diggers and drop them in the ground. :-) We didn't have to take the time add compost and make the hole larger because the ground was hard.--RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-46368961006875385412009-07-27T09:29:26.013-05:002009-07-27T09:29:26.013-05:00And I thought I did pretty well to get some prunin...And I thought I did pretty well to get some pruning done and plant five perennials.

We are opposites when it comes to how we want to do things (and it is usually done his way) and I just work better on my own.
