Gahhhhhh husband!
I came home from the grocery store to find my husband doing what I asked him to do, mow the lawn. Except he wasn't mowing the law, he was mowing down all the shade plants I had just spent all last weekend planting in the backyard, f**********ck! I just had a tantrum in the backyard complete with yelling, screaming, and crying. I had this big giant hosta that I moved from our last house and just moved from the front garden to the back and had divided into 8 seperate plants all along the fence, and they're stumps. I'm hoping the stuff may come back, but since it's all newly divided and transplanted, I don't know that it will. "I didn't know!" I'm about to go clean out the closet full of his home audio stuff and tell him I didn't know that stuff wasn't trash.
Re: Gahhhhhh husband!
Oh, no!!! Sorry to hear that...I would have reacted the same way!
Except, of course, I wouldn't know the first thing about transplanting and dividing plants and other productive gardening type things...I'm impressed...hopefully they grow back!
SonofafreakinA! That totally sucks! I would absolutely have had a tantrum at him, too! How could he not know?!? Did he not see you doing all that work last weekend??? Did he not say to himself "boy, this grass over here looks higher and much different than the rest of the lawn-- it must be something other than grass?!?!"
You should COMPLETELY clean out his audio equipment and pretend to throw it out, so the point sinks in.
On a more practical note, I've always been told how hardy hostas are and how they can survive even mice and voles eating away at their roots and basal plates during the winter. So hopefully, they will survive this latest indignity. I will put out good juju for them!
I would be livid.
I hope your hostas come back.
Oh, he's got it coming.
I would be furious!!!!!!!!!!!!
DH weed wacked my rose of sharon 3x. He keeps forgetting. I think it's as good as gone now.
If your hosta is gone for good (which I hope it's not)...I'd be happy to share. I think I have 5 varieties of hosta. I'll share even if they do come back.
Yikes! I would be mad too! Although I did pull a plant out of our garden once because I thought it was a weed. DH wasn't too happy!
My DH is a landscaper and I told him about this and he said as long as you leave them alone and water them a lot that they should come back fine.
