Library Auctions are enabling me

9 years ago

I thought I was done for the season. I said I was done for the season. I've hurt my elbow and cannot dig or prepare anymore beds for the season.
BUT...then Naylor Creek starts offering free shipping on 3 or more hosta library auctions, so now I have 4 (am I done yet? Maybe 5...) more hostas coming. Maybe I can bribe my family into digging for me.
But so far I having coming to me Fleet Week, Ivory Queen, Cool as a Cucumber, and Dancing Queen.
The cucumber one is not one that normally appeals me for some reason, but I saw some photos of mature plants and decided it would be a nice contrast and addition.

Just switch sides. I broke my are up near my shoulder two years ago and got really good at digging holes with the left side. I believe I heard my husband say your nuts more than once when I added a new hydrangea bed within weeks of breaking it.

Lol! I saw your bid on DQ, Thistle.

Don't feel bad, I've still got 30 on my porch waiting to be planted (when the temps get back down into the 80s, maybe lower 90s), thought I was done ordering for the year, and just ordered TWO more that I can't wait until '15 to have.

It's a sickness at this point.
