I know that all of us are tempted to fill in whatever expanse of land we have and make it look good now. I found this picture of my back garden taken about 6 years ago. The garden space is quite big and, as you can see, the pitiful little plants were lost in it. But thankfully, I didn't have enough money to fill it in. I gave each plant the recommended distance according to the label. I wish I had given more! The second picture was taken this morning. Even at this I have taken 7 of the big shrubs out and it has only been 6 years. I could never have imagined how fast things would grow and how hard it is to take out grown shrubs!
