Sequoia, I saw that same commercial just last night! As a matter of fact, I was in the kitchen working on dinner and DH came across it and paused the TV so I could come in to see it.. he was like "LOOK at that deck!!" and my response was "yeah, just imagine how much that cost, and next year it'll all be gone... then what?" ;) While I am an avid HD lover for a trillion things, (including my corner-trellis planters!), I never was much of a one to plant-shop there, and that commercial is misleading... no, sorry, it's not all gonna look that good on the same day of planting unless you buy a grazillion plants and start installing them at 3:00 in the morning. I'm with Sally, I garden for the DOING of the gardening. Watching my babies grow up, caring for them, loving them, talking to them... Aaaaaah, that's the fun of it! =)
