The battle is joined once more.

"You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight? ...

Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our Hosta!!!"

A great story, Esther.

Steve, where did you find that neat quote? Well done!

Amen.

I love a good hosta rescue story! Even though they're tough, sometimes they need a helping hand. Good thing your neighbor spotted it, and you were able to dig it up and move it before the pips got mowed down.

That's a nice thing you're doing to help beautify the area for his mother to enjoy.

I must have missed your post where you lost your garden space. So sorry to hear about that Esther. I know you put a lot of hard work into it. Glad you found new homes for all your hostas.

Blue Cadet is a toughie. I think mine are going to be pretty big this year.

GESILA: It was last summer that I reported a dead tree in the middle of my hosta garden under that tree. The cretinous management, rather than just removing the dead tree and planting the new, more appropriate tree I was going to get free from a NYC tree giveaway, told me to remove my plants from under the tree, they were going to plow under the garden. I removed all the hostas and heuchies frantically during the night, but I knew I was missing one Blue Cadet. And this one that just pipped in the middle of the oval scar in the lawn was the missing Blue Cadet, which I was able to save due to the sharp eye of my neighbor.

Fortunately (!!!) I did not lose my primary garden space---I just enlarged it also during the night to accommodate its new denizens, the refugees from the under the tree garden. And then I enlarged it a second time a couple weeks ago, to accommodate my new rose bush and new hostas. Take THAT, you co-op manager idiot!
