<< Mike,
I think most of us would be ashamed to admit how much we spend on our
gardening obsession(s). Especially hostas. >>
I don't think any of us should be ashamed of spending any amount of money on
our plants - unless of course, your wife/husband/significant other and /or
kids are being deprived of some other luxery - like eating ... Heck, I've
known a lot of guys that stop off on the way home from work and come home $50
lighter and a lot more drunker.. And the funny thing is - they aren't
ashamed...
Anyway, hostas provide all sorts of enjoyment and probably keep us a little
saner - er, more sane?? I just spent $140 on tulip and dafodil bulbs - and oh
yes, those two hostas I couldn't resist - the Patriot and the Wide Brim.. I
also bought about 50 other hostas this summer and many other things fo rmy
perennial gardens.. I don't tally it up, but I know we spend well over $1000
per year.. But that's what makes life worth living....
Just my philosophy
