Making And Losing Garden Friends...
This content is syndicated via RSS from the blog: Iowa Garden
Being in the habit of saying whatever's on your mind is like having a loaded shotgun in your car trunk... they both make for an uneven life. For example: over the years I've made quite a few garden friends, but more than one has fallen by the wayside... there is a very active hosta club here in town, and I was walking about with one of the true hostaphiles from that group, and he asked me why I had never joined. I just popped out with my feeling about hostas... that they are kind of like those large, abstract art prints that you buy at the furniture store; you never really look at them but buy them just to make a spot of color in that dark back hallway that leads to the bathroom. He was not amused.
Now, I admit I've got an awful lot of different hostas in the garden considering how flippant I seem to be about them, and some of these hostas are really getting nice as they've gotten larger. Yet, there isn't a one of them that I can truly say I'd feel overly bad about if it turned up its toes; I think there are just too many hosta varieties that look too much alike... I'd just plug another hosta in the blank spot and get on with it.
At least I don't discuss politics in this blog.
