I am sensing a theme here, wannabe nursery people!

Plantaholics Anonymous?

Actually, after flunking out of UC Berkeley in my 1st year of college (1.2 gpa 1st semester) I seriously considered becoming a nurseryman (not PC any more, I guess nurseryperson.) Most JC's would not even accept a flunkie for at least 1 semester after the flunking. Went to College of San Mateo for it's 1st year up on the hill. They moved from Coyote Point. Went on to study boring ol' German and switching to the more stimulating mathematics. Still dabble with plants, but my addiction was sidetracked by children, one of which found one particular plant far too much to his liking. He even had a crop growing on my patio cover. It was above the wisteria, so I never even say it.

Ah the confessions of a true PA. I guess we can't use "Do you know Bill?" How about we use "Do you know Daisy?"

God grant me the serenity
to accept the plants I cannot grow;
courage to plant the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

PotEmUP,
Too funny. I am rotfl. I am also one of PA's members.
