Danger Lurking in Local Garden Centers

I think they have patches that you can wear for that now, to reduce the desire for that kind of stuff. Maybe look into a twelve-step-program for people with similar perversions. We're with ya' Charlie.

Look at the time. I need to go to the nursery for some seeds. Maybe I'll look around a little.

I could use some of those patches!! I drove by the local nursery today and felt like I was going thru withdrawels.

Yeah, right. You best be careful! There could be things other than pots being banged upon!

One would think that experience is a good instructor, but noooo.

Be careful, be very careful Charlie

One bite into a 'Honey Crisp' and all her wrath will melt away! I wish we could grow them down here in TX, but we can't. All we can plant are Granny Smiths and Delicious and they never produce anyway. I've paid as much as 3.00 for a pound of Honey Crisp. Mmmmmm mmmm.

I have several of what my husband calls "...DARS"

Garden CenterDAR Hobby LobbyDAR

and other types of "DAR" except RAYDAR!

Our dear husbands.....we gotta love'em for putting up with our obsessions!

Loving spouses understand temptation and sticky pots.

Pambo forced Charlie to post this at: rec.gardens:

Gawd... I am a total sucker. Over the years I have learned to shop at the end of the season. I've gotten hardy mums for 50 cents, butterfly bushes for a buck. My garage is so full of gardening tools and gadgets I can barely get the cars in it but yet I go through the ritual every year. And this doesn't count what I buy from the nursery catalogs. This year alone I've separated and given away entire starter gardens to friends. I ought to just set up shop in the garage.

Go for it. My lovely wife goes to the local farmers market once a month and sells her "separates". Often makes enough money to buy some more plants.

Try Gala, fugi and dorsett golden, all low chilling.

Yes, I have the best husband in the world. But, so does my girlfriend. Finally another happily married couple to do things with.

I bought a greenhouse several years ago and now I see unusual perennials to the local garden centers. Still, I'm in trouble because by the time I leave the garden center I spend the money!

True, but nothing like a Honey Crisp.

I wish they had a newsgroup for greenhouse owners. There's nowhere for us to go on Usenet.

My cousins used to have a Winesap tree. Now, those were good eating.

To discuss? Do it right here. I would always discuss it since I spent most of my adult life in them.

I agree.

I see no problem with discussing greenhouses here. It's on topic?

For some reason I thought it would be off topic here. We have a Rion 8.6 X

I wasn't sure if it was on topic here.
