catalogs....

ok, so...i routinely recycle catalogs that come to the house without a glance....the pile grows especially large after thanksgiving and through the holidays....clothing, trinkets, movies,.....i am easily toss them....but not the plant catalogs.....seeds, roses.....you name it...if it grows...i worry over the photos and the zones, and if the plants are own-roots...for the record...rose bushes sold on own-roots can come back after a bad winter....but roses on a stock root...such as Dr Huey....will come back as Dr Huey....the rose growing nearest the door to Miss Lulu's cabin is Dr Huey....though i bought it as something else entirely.....but i digress....i have ordered nothing despite my rapt attentions....because i plan to buy nothing until i install my drip-soaker hose system first....and i am hoping to at least buy this equipment with birthday money....ah yes....birthday money......there is nothing quite as sweet as birthday money.....and as my list of donors gets smaller and smaller....i must use these funds wisely......
