you know you're classy when....

you're holding your hollyhocks up with old pantyhose.

I planted these hollyhocks months ago.  I've babied them and protected them religiously from frost, checking the temperature every night for weeks on end, covering them with buckets when it was too cold.

Once they finally grew I was a little annoyed to discover they were white (their pot said "mixed color"), but then I decided I liked them.  Only to have the raging hurricane wind threaten to blow them over!

Nothing a good old pair of Queen Size can't fix*.

*temporary fix.  I've since put in garden stakes.  Not as funny but works better!
