Do I ever feel STUPID!!!

[rebbetzin]

Some of you may remember my post on Snow here in Tucson. And I mentioned the "squash" plant that survived, I have covered this 'squash" and fed it all winter...

Only today when I was looking it... and it is growing even taller...

It is a Hollyhock!!! It is sending up flower spikes!!

Silly Me!!

I will post a photo when it blooms!!

No need to feel stupid. Just look at it like a wonderful gift.

By the way, I have the stupid market cornered.

I klove Hollyhocks. Like Smiles says, consider it a gift. :watering

Could be worse... you could have babied a weed through the winter! (Not that I have done that!) Can't wait to see the blooms!

 

[Chickie'sMomaInNH]

heh, at least it has some beautiful benefits when it blooms! this could explain why it survived the snow you had.

I feel the same way, I kept thinking Ive got weeds, but before you know it , I get pretty flowers or veggies!!

I have what is either the most frost resistant winter growing dahlia in the world or else one of those nightshades growing in the east bed in my garden. But I'm babying and protecting it. See how I is?

should someone point out that everyone looked at the plant and no one said "Hey, that's not a squash."

I've been considering holyhocks as rabbit fodder. It makes a lot of greens without taking up too much garden space. My rabbits love mallow and that's the family it belongs to.

See.

Hoodat has a solution which ever way you want to go with it, Rebbetzin.

Personally, I'd have it on the end of a forked stick over an open fire . . .
