how long does a hosta honeymoon last?
Q

Chris, when I started reading your post for a second there I thought it was mine.....lol! ! I too started when I got a job at a nursery and collected what few hostas we sold. Yes, about 8 varieties, but it was closer to 25 yrs ago. I didn't go on to start my own plant business, however, I retired after 16 years and went into the bead business, taking a hiatus from plants, even though I still bought some hostas and other plants on a casual basis. I didn't get into really collecting hostas until about 2003, when I got married to my former boss and best friend, the garden center owner, who had by that time sold the business and went to work in the garden center of a local big box store. And I was retired by then, also. When he sold his house and we moved his small hosta collection to my garden, we started making more beds and developing the rest of our wooded acre, collecting more and more hostas along the way, dividing the ones we had already. We are still at it, ripping out that godawful Japanese honeysuckle and replacing it with hostas! As I am an artist, a garden is just another medium to explore, and I haven't finished with it, yet. I have to create, and I have to have my hands in the soil. I've actually been a gardener since about age 3, following my dad's heels when he worked our farm when I was growing up. There were always huge vegetable gardens and flowers. Two new big beds last year and one smaller one this year have been added, and I still get that little tingle when I see an awesome new hosta, so I guess the honeymoon continues! In spite of the deer, and the voles, and the groundhogs, drought, cutworms, pillbugs and the heat, I'm still making wish lists, checking every garden center, planting seeds, yanking out more honeysuckle, looking at online catalogs and reading every post on here. Hope springs eternal, I KNOW next year is gonna be wonderful! Sandy

Los Angeles Honeymoon - Where/What/Help!

That time of year tends to be extremely hot. You might want to hit the beaches. Perhaps do Santa Monica, Venice and Malibu. Getty Center and Getty Villa are my absolute favorite gardens in LA area. Previous favorites are Descanso, LA Arboreteum and Huntington Library. They are inland where the Getty gardens [and fabulous museums] are near the cooler coast. Both are free. You have to have a parking reservation for the Villa and parking is $15 for either museum. There are walking tours downtown now. DH and I had a great time walking to the central library and a landmark cafeteria, Clifton's, one day for lunch. It's on Broadway which is lined with old movie theater fronts. Pretty cool until you see that none are movie theaters any more. Look up Clifton's, it's definitely different. Might want to take in a movie at one of the restored movie theaters. Disney has one am sure there are others. If you like tourist stuff then Universal Studios is a lot of fun. We got a year pass a while back and ended up going every other month or so and had a blast every time. Warner Brothers also has a tour but it doesn't have rides and shows as far as I know. But watch the weather, it's inland and could be really miserable then. Paramount is hard to get to as traffic is horrific where it is located, don't know if they do tours, we went to a TV show filming which might be fun to take in.

How's honeymoon climber doing for you?

Cynthia- I only had GG for one summer. He too was eaten by voles this past winter. I bought a replacement and we'll see how it goes. It does get hot here too. We see over 100 occasionally and have days on end int he high 90's plus humidity near 100%. I've often wondered how it can be that humid and still not rain. I usually don't judge a flower performance the first year unless it's bought either bare root or own root. It seems that the nursery potted plants flower far better their first year than anything I can achieve. I wonder if they use a super duper fertilizer to help force buds. Sharon

i strongly agree with virgil about the real work done on these shoes i have to say, i really hope they change hgtv shows. i know theres a thread somewhere on here all about hgtv but im sick and done with the fake happy couples who happen to mysteriously have ginormous amounts of money to flip and renovate homes into ugly houses for the fools who are on the show its the same s*it all over and over day after day, just different couples doing the same decorating and "designing" when we know all the TRUE work is done by engineers, architects, contractors, plumbers, electricians, handymen, house stagers and interior designers who work with them. you know....the little people

We were hell bent never to live in an apartment. We bought our home AS we were married. Had little left for fun. We live in MI and so we drove to Toronto. Camped out one night to find that the tent we borrowed wasn't rain proof (actually such a wonderful memory) and we proceeded to Niagra Falls. We have progressed though the years from our humble beginnings to own our own business and being quite stable. Who'd of thunk it!!!

We went to the Bahamas too. Got hooked on scuba diving while there. Also got very sick from drinking the water (we thought we were in a civilized country LOL). The only picture of the two of us together on our honeymoon is the one my MIL shot of us arriving at the airport gate. We were both extremely pale, tired, weak, and a just a bit green from being so sick. Oh well. We had a lot of fun before we got sick and the storm hit.

We cruised for a week from NYC to Bermuda before the wedding. Very romantic.

Right after the wedding, we travelled cross-country (NYC-WestCoast) with another couple in a mini-van and did really tacky things. Graceland, Krispy Kremes, Grand canyon, Las Vegas (The Mirage), North Hollywood, San francisco, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Salt Lake City, Cleveland (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame). It was 3 weeks of laughs, laughs, laughs!

Two months later, just the 2 of us flew down to Orlando and spent a week in a golf villa. Again, very romantic.

2000 was truly a wonderful year!!!!

Niagra Falls! We figured that if it was good enough for his parents, it was good enough for us!

Actually, his parent's "honeymoon" was a belated one taken when Dave was 18 months old. Dave swears that he can remember some of it!

My parents never had a honeymoon, but they travel all over the country now.

Mendocino, CA and the coast around there. Just two nights. I had a 15 year old at home with my elderly mom and aunt babysitting. The next year we took a one week Royal Caribbean cruise from Los Angeles to Mexico. The following year we got a divorce.

We had one night in Altus, OK. Okay, don't get excited everyone. My DH had one night off and we drove Vernon, TX and married and spent the night in a roach infested apartment in Altus, OK. Ain't life grand? He's been a keeper for 20 years and it's one of our funniest memories.

We spent a week at the Almond Beach Resort in Barbados.

The most relaxing and incredible week of my life.

BTW we stayed at the "adult" resort, not the "family" one down the road, although we went to the other one for dinner one evening.

We will be married 33 years this Nov.24th.
We went Island Hopping in the Caribbean for 2 weeks.
Had a private airplane and when we got tired of an island we headed out for a new destination.
Great fun.

Whitfulone--what a hoot! I'm about 45 miles from both of those towns, and know it's pretty slim pickin's in the romance department (not even a good restaurant!) I'm guessing you were military?

We had no honeymoon. We ran into town in jeans to the preachers house, through the drive-up window of DairyQueen for a lemonaide and right home to 5 littleones with the chickenpox (my two, his three.) Next morning, started stripping about 2000 acres of cotton.....

Took nearly 20 years before we were alone and traveled a bit. Oh well, I'd rather have a good marriage than a good wedding/honeymoon.
