Ah, I see the debate is still on regarding the best way to rationalize plant purchasing. Personally, I have given up rationalizing. I admit my weakness for plants. It's just the way I am. I buy plants. I am a plant buyer. I have given up the notion that I will someday have a yard devoid of black plastic pots with plants awaiting homes. Now I simply strive to keep their numbers to a mild roar.


Note to self: never, ever visit someone else's beautiful, inspiring garden. It will only lead to more ideas than can possibly bear fruit and will push retirement out further as you strive to pay for all the materials you will need to bring those ideas to fruition. Alas. The Lewis and Little garden is actually Eden, complete with snake. I was tempted by every single vision of lovliness. Plus, they were genuinely nice guys. I enjoyed talking to them very much. Here is a photo from the pilgrimage.
