Viburnums for Tight Spaces: Rated P-G

Laughing hysterically here!

Not sure what the crisco was for, but don't want to know. Please.

To keep me warm in water temps under 50F for 6 hours. This was in the days before wet suits. I won cause every one but 2 obese guys dropped out from the cold. I used wool and kept my upper torso dry is the only way I could finish. Everyone thought I was nuts to try.

Well 6 million people could be wrong but...

Amen to that VV. But I was short and being picked on in school and after that everyone thought I was tough and didn't want to mess with me. I warmed up when the race finished on the greased pig contest but there was no grip left on my cold hands.

Actually, my boss told me waaay back when I was 16 (about a decade ago), to wear pantyhose in the winter under my socks. He always wore his wife's knee high pantyhose. Seriously.

I think men will earn respect when they give birth. That's what it will take. You try having a watermelon come out of you.

I had surgery in an area that I'm not going to tell you. And I know what it is like to have a baby 2 to 3 times a day for over 2 weeks. I agree and thank God daily that I don't have to go through that. If reincarnation were really happening I think babies as soon as they are born would look to see what they are.

I don't know Sofer, my imagination is kind of going wild here.....

Terry!! OMG! Mine too *giggle*

I'm thinking rear end surgery for the soferdog....



Which brings us back to the title of this thread. HA!

I'm thinking of his comment on another thread, that he used to be a woman...boggles the mind, don't it?

Guess no one cares about my !@#! viburnums or hydrangeas, or whatever. Since joe disappeared for a while, I'm thinking dwarf shrubs after all...

yes your imagination is correct the first time. Well I went to the nursery on my way home from work and got another varigated Elderberry. Madonna Elder and it was a overwintered throw away root bound and when I got it home it had no such thing. Yeah they goofed up.
Now back to your dear viburnums. How about a Spirea like the Lace leaf Spirea. Long flowering time with cotton like flowers but you might have to box its roots in cause it has a tendency to spred in my bed. It is about 6'tall and trimmed to width. I have a whole bunch I'm digging up cause they invaded the whole bed. HeeHee.

PG, this is such a long thread and I'm lazy this morning, so remind me if you've already got aronia over on that side of the house. Aronia melanocarpa might be a nice choice. I've never found the suckering to be too bad and it should work with the height limitation. Plus, it's a great plant.

I've got a red chokeberry, Aronia arbutifolia, it's on the right side of the gate by the rock. I've moved it once already. But it may get too tall to put under the windows, I'm not sure. If that will work, I'll get a couple more, as I really like this plant.

PG, a. arbutifolia gets taller than a. melanocarpa, which is why I suggested the latter. Both really nice plants IMO.

so taller, means wider, crud.

I'm thinking now of hydrangea quercifolia again, esp. after seeing terry's diary pages (terry r.) What are the smaller cultivars? I don't want Sikes Dwarf, I want an upright one, not a prostrate shrub. Is snow flake small enough?

Doesn't look like the gate will be moving after all, just another empty promise. That's all right, I was pretty surprised he agreed to it in the first place! the commute to work is just too long, he has no inclination to do anything after work (except drink beer)! I definitely couldn't do it (stone mason) so I don't expect he'll hop to it anytime soon. Says he's too exhausted. Ah, well, too bad.

A friend has offered me some spireas, we may have to just go with that! ;-)

The gate could always have an "accident" . . .

And then I will be under constant scrutiny from the gapers at the volunteer fire department across the street. No thanks. I really value my privacy. I guess I could dare to go bare! The "new minimalist" look in landscaping. Absolutely nothing. LOL

PG, I think you're thinking of the other Terry, not me. I don't have a hydrangea quercifolia. Our fire department is caddy corner from my back yard....and I don't mind giving them their jollies once in awhile :o) *wink wink*

Terry

I am definitely thinking of the other terry. Crud! I meant to type NOT terry r. sorry.

Are you the one yelling "save my horse?" again?! (Ren & stimpy, now that's not old.)

O.k. you lost me. Save my horse?

Terry

There was a cartoon on in the eighties, called Ren & Stimpy. One of the first season's episides is of a very large woman in a highrise, during a fire, hollering "Save me! Save my baby!" so the firemen come to the rescue with a very large safety net, then she yells "Save my horse!" and the horse jumps out of the window into the waiting net below. Well, just in case you ever see it, I don't want to spoil the ending for you. I guess since you didn't see it, it's not funny. At all. ;-O

Anybody who watched Ren and Stimpy is a dead head. My old guitar bass player for Iron Butterfly got me wearing R&S shirts and going to ACDC concerts. He is tatooed from one wrist to the entire back and out to the other wrist. I was telling him about Wagner's Ring Cycle when we were hitting minor leage baseball games one summer. It drove him nuts that I would enjoy "The Ring Cycle". After all that is a 19 hour Opera that "aint over until the fat lady sings". Any way he made me go to an ACDC concert just to balance my ying and yang. I loved it! Angus came out under a thunderous cannon barrage and started playing "Thunderstruck". Wow. It was almost as good as the Valkeries riding their horses above the stage in The Ring.

Oooooh, WOW, maaaan!!! Sounds like doobie time!
;-)

Sofer - Yes I saw Angus, loved the school boy uniform! I never really got into the Dead, in concert, but my younger sister went to quite a few of them. That is how I used to dance LOL. I also admire the opera, but don't know much about them (my Dad is Italian/German) and never wanted to ask him! LOL (Too much information) LOL I like the classics anyway. My nephew taught himself to play the classical piano & organ, we asked him to play "There is a House in New Orleans" and he'd never heard of it!! LOL

That's 'cause you needed to give him the correct title -- The House of the Rising Sun!

I bet LOL knows all about that place . . . hee-hee-hee! Where is she anyway?

Guy S.

Well you're right, but we had to buy him the sheet music anyway. Hee hee.

Sorry, no I don't know Ren and Stimpy. I do believe I was just insulted.

I could play "The house of the Rising Sun" on my banjo and used it to woo my girlfriend out on a lake at night in the canoe. LOL Boy I knew how to pick the right babe getter!

Yes, Starhill "Mr. Wonderful", I know where "The House of the Rising Sun" is---in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I had guests staying there from London when the Final Four was in town and they could not get a room anywhere else. The lady changed rooms four times because of the roaches---the kind that crawl.

Ick -- I hate roaches, especially those four-foot-long ones y'all have down there!

Guy S.

No, no, no terry, you got it all wrong. I was j/k.

That's okay, another *******, she'll love me in the morning. Ain't that right Frank?

don't worry if you don't get that one either, same problem in "real life" LOL

I knew you were joking prairie! And you're right, who's Frank?

Terry

Frank is the imaginary man who has been with VV since age 3 and she often talks to him in DG. We just try to keep her thinking he is real. LOL

You learn something new every day.......

What's the pic of?

Terry

sofer's hiding place.

Just a native bush (I call them mockorange). I was shooting wild flowers and got this.
