the moat with gators joke 😂..I had a steady stream of guests for 5 years in a 2bed/1ba house in CA..moved back home to Indianapolis..we have a 4bed/3ba house..we've never had an overnight guest in this house!!..

Praying Hands has been declining since the day I bought it..May 17 2025..2 tiny plants not far from the stone..the stone was there to keep them safe..

I may never see it again..if it doesn't come up in 2026 I won't be crying..

some of you have a good looking PH..I had one for about 2 weeks 😝..

I guess that is why they say Eagle eyed.

Ann that is too funny about guests or lack thereof. At least you won't be upset if PH does not return.

Little Starlet has never been a star. It has always been weak but I gave it some attention so it might improve. Those are Forget-Me Not seedlings and I cleared them out from around it.

Laurie..Little Starlet is cute..it should be small according to the name right?..
for 15 years my late parents, 2 sisters and my niece owned 4 homes next to each other..any out-of-town guests stayed with one of them..

Paula, I love the trying on shoes with your tongue out .... very difficult.

First Blush... It kept on getting smaller. Now it is gone.

Rhino Hide - I potted it since it was struggling. Hopefully it looks better this year.

Designer Genes just looks sad

Paula, I love the pacman joke! And laurie, that’s why the phrase is ”eagle eyes.” My dad was far sighted and my mom would refer to him as ”ole eagle eyes” because she was nearly blind without her glasses! lol

I have a few that really get bad:

I had to pot this as it was just dissappearing

Nematodes?

Designer Genes always gets like this

Ann yes Little Starlet is a mini-small which I like... but I don't like wimpy. I will give it a chance to improve with the tlc I gave it tho I have had it a long time.

Beth sorry about First Blush. I do hope Rhino Hide improves. My Designer Genes looked sad and then disappeared. That was years ago and I don't really miss it but I do not like to fail lol!

Debra Etched Glass is pretty so I hope it takes off. Prairie Moon could have nematodes but I would not say for certain. It seems DG is a dud for some of us, at least yours is a good size.

Poor pacman, what happened?

House Hunters: I used to think people were talking about sit down dinners with place cards, maybe catered, when they talked about entertaining. Now I understand if your neighbor drops by with her kid, that's considered entertaining!

That chart is really interesting. No wonder birds of prey can see a mouse in a field from so far away. It's a little disconcerting about dogs. Good thing they recognize our voice.

My worst is Curly Fries. I didn’t bother to take a picture of it this year. It was limping along, so I moved it into more sun, and it’s still not responding. This will be the third year in the new spot, so it better show some progress.
