KC DGers****** Annual Rootdoctor Dig up time

My Wife just brought a nice gal from work,to see some plants,well my oh my if she wasn't a DG member Thea!
I was just getting warmed up digging,when we decided it would be best for her to come back with a van,I was already over limit on her car.

So....... If anyone else from the KC area,wants Canna, Bananas Ears..
Brug cuttings?
COME ON!!!
I will put my number in the next post.

My phone is 913 789 7330.
Give me a call if you can come get some plants,or just want to come by and yak.

Root, If I weren't so far away I would come just to yak. Nice of you to offer. Donna

How many miles away is KC again? LOL

DARN too far for me also, sure was nice of you rootdoctor

LOL,I just gave a yard tour to a group of Jehovah's Witnesses,I went out front and the whole group was standing there with their mouths hanging open.

LOL They were just at my house too! They left, then came back with another flyer on child rearing. Geeze!

Like they could teach you something??? LOL!

root .. you 'tootin' again, 'ey!?!?!?! ... Hee Hee ... Ahh, go on and toot your own horn!!! hee
From what I've read so far, here @ DG ... You SHOULD certainly be most proud of your
yardens and gardens and all of your wonderful plants!! LOL .. Seems that rest of DG is rootin'
and tootin' fer ye, for that matter!!! .. lol And you deserve it!!

And it is so very wonderful and kind of you ... to share with other folks!! Very kind indeed .. it it twern't but a lil piece to get up to you .. I'd come myself .. if, only fer a good yap with ya! ... Maybe pick up some wonderful gardening tips from you also. And, a 'tour' would be the icing on the cake !! - mags

Well shoot Mags,I would love to Gab with ya,I just got the deck hosed off,now I am ready to start diggin!

Jeeesh! That looks awful! You need some help clearing off, I mean cleaning up, I mean ummm....Jeesh! :)

LOL,I just had a deck full of cops a few minutes ago,little problem next door.
The boys in Blue loved it,a couple were plant nuts,I do think one will be joining DG soon.

You got witnesses AND the cops in one day?? LOL

LOL! Seed!
Thea just left,she is going to make another trip.

I'm like badseed now ... witinesses and the police, all in one day!! Geez! .. LOL LOL

Hey Root

LOL
LOL
what are you wearing?
Garden gloves?
Nothing????
Bare hands?????
Ohhhh do you have compost on your hands.....mmmmmm

giggle

Oh shucks! I can't be there in person, but heard that Janetlee50 is comin' to help you dig. She's a sweetheart, plus she creates and designs awesome trading pages. I should know......she did mine! :~)

I can't believe how your backyard has grown up. Too think it will be covered in snow in the not to distant future. Why does winter come when our gardens are at their height of perfection?

I am excited Shirley,I hope she brings a truck,rumor has it she will have a Uhaul,LOL!! I am sure I can find a cutting or two,LOL!
This is always so much fun!
I have VS71099 coming at 9 tomorrow,I better hit the sack,it sure is nice out there right now.

One of these days I'm gonna hop in the car and take a road trip. I just gotta see how the rest of you all live in warmer country. I love the picture of Thea trying to stuff the van. LOL I'd love a chance to meet a DG buddy, and have one live close enough to swap plants and help each other out.

Must have been a Jehovah's Witnesses recruitment day. I had them here too, but I hid in the bathroom. :) I knew it was them because they had pamphlets in their hand when they got out of the van. But, hey, I was still running around the house in my robe trying to clear the clutter so I could dust and I hadn't even brushed my hair OR my teeth yet.

Had they come later in the morning, I would have been presentable and the house would have been somewhat cleaned up. I do sometimes take the time to visit with them, but not in my robe on a Sat. morning.

Root, I'd love to sip some lemonade on your deck. It looks so lovely.

Joan,they never even gave me a pamplet,they had to many plant questions,and forgot why they came.
Pebble,I would love it! I hope all is well with you,so good to see you posting.

Root, now that I'm digging up the elephant ears, what do I do next? Shake the dirt off ? Cut down how close to the bulb? this is my first time to grow them. HELP.

Like eveyone else, I'm impressed!!!!

Root,
If posting my picture on Dave's is a prerequisite..then I am going to rethink this dig. Ok, coming anyway....................Will wear my serial killer garden hat...maybe those cops will come back....hummmmm Janetlee

LOL! Yep,I want to see that hat!
Lizh,I leave them lay in the grass for a few days to dry,chop off the browned tops and store,I hope we are talking common Ears,Colocasia?

VS71099 just pulled out,What a great gal!! And Hubby D. is a great guy,this is so much fun meeting everyone!!

JanetLee,bring a big truck,LOL!!

Darn
Those people took my plant.........I'm calling the cops and Jehovah Witnesses....LOL Janet

I can't believe,I have not even dented this yard!!
JanetLee,I still have too much stuff!!There is plenty with your name on it!!Yep you can blame Shirley1md,friend of hers,friend of mine!

Besides bringing your truck, shovels & other digging accoutrements, don't forget those Bungie Cords!!! You don't want your Banana, Brug or Palm Trees flying out of your pick-ups, do you??? :~)

Then the cops would surely track you down for littering the streets of K.C. and the Jehovahs would be there to bear Witness!! :~)

Thanks Root, I am talking about the common ears.

Shirely,
They're going in the uhaul and the only way they will escape, is to pick the lock or use dynamite. Thanks for the plug on my web page works. Janet

It is amazing how beautiful your yard has become in just one summer. I remember when you started on deck and back porch and your yard. It is a gorgeous and so inviting looking. If I lived nearby, I know I would stop by occassionally and just visit and relax looking out over all the beauty of your plants. It is so peaceful looking. I know that those you are sharing with must be thrilled as they pack some of those beauties in their vehicles.

Root, your place is a work of art,amazing.How do you find the time to do all that work AND deal with the witnesses AND the police. I once had the witnesses,babtist & fire department at my house in the city all at the same time. However,unlike you, the firemen were not there to water my plants!! Sure made for an interesting day. We moved to the country six years ago and being off the road with two large dogs kinda puts a stop to the witnesses and the babtist commin to call.I still have a preacher callin on us much of the time,cant seem to run him off cause I married his son 15yrs ago! You sure seem to have alot of fun digging all your lovely yard up. Im glad that you can do that. It is always sad at the end of summer when it all has to go. I have a greenhouse that really makes winter much better and I still hate to see it all go away!! Need to move on down a little more south one of these days. Anyway,I was just gonna say how much yall made me laugh reading this thread. YOU GUYS are a hoot!!! Badseed watchout, I have a co-worker that is a witness and she is the baby of Sixteen children!! So dont open that door again for them,ya hear!! hehe

Oops.......should have stated "open cab" pick-up trucks, like the one that VS71099 & DH are leaning on. Sure wouldn't want to see that tree lying in the middle of the road!

Glad to give you a "plug" on your web page works, Janet. I'm simply tellin' the truth!

Have a great DIG, everyone!!

Can I come back this weekend...... ?

Really if you need more help ....... and I can try and store more plants in my basement ............

I had such a GREAT time.......

Janetlee50 just got done,what a great group of gals!!
What a Hoot!

Root,
I cannot thank you enough for the fun time, tour and the forest that you have contributed to SW Kansas. Such a grat feeling to meet some of the celebraties of Daves Garden. You are the best! Jabetlee

LOL! Next time,Ya gotta bring a bigger truck!!
Pssst,I'll back it in the drive,LOL!

If you were just a little bit closer..... :~)

It sounds like your annual dig was a HUGE success! From the looks of Janetlee 50's pick-up, she'll definitely need to bring a moving van next year!! :~) Great lookin' picture ladies!!!
