We are always arguing over this because I prefer to spend more money to get more established and larger plants and trees, where as he is the stingier one and is happy to buy plants as seedlings and wait for them to grow. It drives me nuts when you can literally have an instant garden theses days and not have to go through the painful stage of growing. Your garden and house are truly beautiful.Mel@Georgica Pondhttp://www.georgicapond.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-56217503185430862552012-07-16T10:10:55.755-04:002012-07-16T10:10:55.755-04:00WOW, Love the pictures on this site, it looks like...WOW, Love the pictures on this site, it looks like pure heaven on earth.

All but a couple have died. After hauling in top soil, manure, peat moss, renting the tiller and watering almost everyday it's sad it didn't work out. It's weird some plants didn't even green but some of the ones that greened are now starting to die. For instance one branch looks dead attached to the same green branch. We probably should have spent the money for mature plants. oh well......<br />backdoorkitchen.blogspot.comchicken feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817502010068362060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-76609019510891624042012-07-08T15:02:49.477-04:002012-07-08T15:02:49.477-04:00This is such a great idea!
