I just can't say no to a sample plant, even if I don't have the space, right conditions or color grouping to add it to. I don't show pictures of my own gardens. Good to know there are other gardeners out there that have the same troubles I have. <br /><br />P.S. Clay is the most horrid form of media.

Unwittingly, I've been doing this instead of following rules, like plant placement, and trying to create a garden. http://bit.ly/axYIbN<br /><br />@Helen, LOL. I think the age listed is suppose to be the age of the garden. At least that was my answer when Gina asked me how old my garden was. Re: the ladybug, it is a ladybug and she's propper. Hence why she's not making a pig of herself. I don't think it is better in HD because it wasn't recorded in HD. it is a couple of years old become HD came to point and shoot cameras.<br /><br />@Monica, See my comment to Helen about it being a ladybug. A lady wouldn't eat and spill blood and guts everywhere. How could you hate Zinnias? They're rad. Well, maybe I like them since the first ones I ever grew were 'Green Envy' and I like those blooms.<br /><br />@Anne, :0)MrBrownThumbhttp://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-26237619217918155982010-06-21T11:06:26.484-07:002010-06-21T11:06:26.484-07:00Beautiful garden!

I totally agree about that buying plants is an indulgence, both as an avid seed starter and someone who could never afford a truckload of plants all at once--I've just never put it into words. Isn't it funny how plants one used to hate begin to grow on one? Zinnias are that way for me.<br /><br />Most importantly, to me, a garden IS a hap-hazard collection of plants, which attracts critters big and small. My garden space is huge but I started out with plants from friends and seedlings, and I placed them where I had room at the time and so it's gone. I've never been able to plan something out because that would involve the time and money to purchase and plant a ton of plants all at once. I personally like the natural progression.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-73663250714160450922010-06-21T05:17:11.299-07:002010-06-21T05:17:11.299-07:00Actually, I was looking forward to more gruesome a...Actually, I was looking forward to more gruesome aphid action in the video, but it seemed relatively tame; like a ladybug eating popcorn.

I felt the same way about cranesbill geraniums, but my mother in law bought some a few years ago and not that it has filled in, it is really, really pretty. <br /><br />I also think a haphazard ecosystem where plants attract bugs and birds is definitely a garden (otherwise, I don't have a garden either besides my vegetable garden).Colleen Vanderlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08396040906688814232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-76431417568812654482010-06-20T21:05:57.429-07:002010-06-20T21:05:57.429-07:00Thanks for letting me part of your project, Gina. ...Thanks for letting me part of your project, Gina.
