Re: tolerance of lack of same/ alone

Wish I could have put the canna tubers in the washing machine. DH wanted me to separate and dry his variegated canna tubers (growing in a plastic basket in the pond) in an attempt to overwinter them dormant. Picture me, in the driveway, temperature in the low 40's, first cutting away the basket, then pulling away wet clay and pebbles from the roots with my hands, followed by a vigorous hosing away of the rest. Then had to separate the individual tubers with brute strength and set them aside to dry. Finally had to clean up the mess in the driveway. Whole process took me 2 hours. Never again. Don't care if he did spend $30.00 for the original tuber!
