Last years brutal winter killed several expensive shrubs so if the plant isn't hardy to at least 1 or 2 zones below mine, I won't buy it unless it's an annual.Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-16423959137440563242015-02-22T17:10:12.697-05:002015-02-22T17:10:12.697-05:00Nonsense!

This is exactly what I have, especially with the last garden, which was tiny, but there's always a way to make things fit, even if I have to use a crowbar to get the plant in, it *will* fit! I thought the remedy to this was to move to a much larger garden, which is exactly what we did, but all that happens is that your plans scale up. I mean, why have one rambling rose when there is room for eight? Why sow just a couple of packs of seeds when it's clear you'll need many more and don't worry about trying to squeeze all those plants in, there's *always* room!Sunil Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998062749546109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-66110989207038500622015-02-22T12:44:42.728-05:002015-02-22T12:44:42.728-05:00Me, too!
