Hubby for trade

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

DH had the gall to take my camera and take pics of his gardening beds for me to show off here.

I say "Make him get his own darn membership" and let him do all the work of posting them.

:)))))

Now he wants me to post a pic and I am refusing.

He is up for trade for tropicals.

PS.....I keep the money :)

Karen,

Is he really worth trading? I mean, really really really? DH's seem to be cut of the same cloth so I doubt you will find another one that is better. Maybe the other one wont toot as loud or actually take his muddy shoes off before walking in muddy socks, but really - are we really going to find one better than the one you have????

I consider my DH a tropical, his pod parent is from Quatemala and his pollen parent is from Peru. Does that count? His growth habits are very slow but he is a rather large specimen so you need room for him, but when the conditions are right he can surprise you with shiny sparkly flowers that you can wear on your hand .
Hes the one on the left, the one on the right is a rare northern Peter hybrid.

My wife offered all 21 of our elephant ear species, me, Rico and both of our iguanas for both the northern Peter and the latino hybrid. I intend to file a protest.

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

Hey, Rico does not come with the deal.

Have fun :))))

Then make sure your wife comes down with Rico for a visit.

Edgewater, MD(Zone 7a)

I can trade the latino tropical but the norther Peter hybrid I still havnt been able to get my hands on and keep.

Sir Buckley your wife is offering one heck of a deal there that is really really hard to pass up but if I can get that Peter hybrid in my house hes staying, LOL.

edited to add: my cooking is one of the reasons the latino tropical is so large- can ya handle that Sir Buck?

Why don't we cut to the chase and name Peter "Sir Peter".

Then Buck may give Rico back........

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

Hey, I have had no offers for hubby. He is is back when we lived in the states.

The bow is extra.

Sorry Karen I think Ive changed my mind, cant beat the flowers on the latino Hybrid and the Sir Peter vacuumes without being asked.

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

Hey, he does good dishwashing :))))))

Rancho Cucamonga, CA

This one made me laugh, you guys are hilarious.!

Bay City, MI(Zone 6a)

im going to keep mine cuz he is 1 in a Million!!!!!

Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I would too, you sound like a keeper yourself!

Baytown, TX(Zone 9b)

Well I will give some tropicals for your DH to teach my DH to care about gardening. Except he has potential and is too lazy to motivate.
I love the rest of him. Long eye lashes, beautiful blue eyes, broad shoulders, works hard and brings home the paycheck, faithful, BUT the biggest set back, he has a mind of his own.

I do have alot of those shiny sparkly flowers you wear on your hands, and neck from days when the job he had paid well. More than enough shiny sparkly flowers you wear for a lifetime. Hey maybe I wouldn't mind him if they still did labotomys. (can't spell) Just want him to think of us and not how awful his job is.

LOL

And what big eyes he has.....

Springville, AL(Zone 7a)

LOL...better to stare you down with....lol

Edgewater, MD(Zone 7a)

LOLOL Too funny blckwolf

Dori, your man is one in a million, I wouldnt trade him either. : )

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

Ahhh... Come on Drave.

Wouldn't you trade a nice heliconia for him?

:)

Bay City, MI(Zone 6a)

thanks janet!
He is a special man and I'd hate to have to train another one!!!

Laurens, SC(Zone 8a)

A husband who shares your interest in gardening ( and HOPEFULLY a few other things at least) is worth something, let me tell you!! My DH and I have nothing in common to share so I can tell you I would be willing to trade!! hehehe Mine only eats, plays xbox/computer games and sleeps--other than going to work!!

Bonnie

Milton, MA(Zone 6a)

Oh Bonnie, that can't be true. A few years ago, my dh was "helping" with "my" garden as a favor to me. Now he's out there every day reporting and deadheading and just now he drew a model on the computer of our house and gardens and asked me to mark where I want bulbs to go. Needless to say, I won't be trading him.

Emporia, KS(Zone 5b)

besides, think of the shipping rates...

...and isn't there an extra fee when you can't stuff the package in the mailbox??

tee hee hee

Edgewater, MD(Zone 7a)

OMG!! Thats too funny!

Springville, AL(Zone 7a)

CJ...if you put hubby in a box and let it sit on a shelf for 4-6 weeks, before shipping... it costs alot less!! LOL

Yeah, he'll definitely weigh a LOT less that way! *smile*

Baytown, TX(Zone 9b)

Also Duct tape mouth and hands so they can not chew thru cardboard. LOL

crossville, TN(Zone 7a)

Makes me wish I had waited to "trade" mine off! But I did get a pretty good trade....my sanity, the kids, my pay check and peace of mind!!! ;) Top that!

Tina

Laurens, SC(Zone 8a)

Yeah--well it would be very high postage indeed to mail my DH--he is over weight and about 6'!! Not 300lbs but at least 50-60 overweight I think. Like I said, he eats, sleeps, plays xbox--thats about it. For real, not kidding.

Aurora, TX(Zone 8a)

I swear to the cannas, you guys are so funny! LOL This thread has me choking on my lunch!

[although, you know the other soccer moms said that my husband looks 'like a Gap model,' so if anyone has a siam tulip for trade, I might consider.......]

;-) MKJ

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

:))))

Leesburg, VA(Zone 7a)

I think more husbands need to chime in here. Heck, I'd be possibly willing to do some trading as well! lol

Vieques, PR(Zone 11)

Sounds like Rico may be getting ready for a new Papa?????

Denton, TX(Zone 7a)

Hey Sandi, sounds like you have done this before!

Baytown, TX(Zone 9b)

If it is me you are talking too. He has returned more times than
enough. Noone bother to even open it even with no return addy.

Go figure???

Denton, TX(Zone 7a)

Yes, it was you...sorry to have spelled your name wrong...I have a friend named Sandi, who spells it like that, with an "I" and I guess it just came out that way...I was referring to the duct tape, on the hands and feet...

Laughing at this thread - but I can't say I would trade my husband. Who else would put up with me? I'd never find another one that good.

But I'm mostly curious about which husband Bogweedbuck's gonna trade?

Baytown, TX(Zone 9b)

melvatoo, My best friend of 24 years, name is sandi. People find it
strange we are both Sandy or i's. She is Sandra and I am Sondra.

I just wasn't sure there wasn't another Sandi on here and speak out of turn.

And yes again he returns like a bad penny. ;o) LOL
