Am I the only person who wonders, from time to time, if I have too many plants? I was worried that the new rock garden would look bare, but my sister came over today and said she thought it looked good. No wonder; it has over a hundred ice plants as well as tons of other plants.
I keep finding new ice plants to try, but when I walk over to the garden with plant and trowel, I discover there's no room. I either have to move something I just planted, or put the new plant somewhere else. There isn't very much of "somewhere else", either.
I went to Timberline Gardens today (only the seventh time since June 1st), and as I was putting plants on my cart, the available space in my garden for the new plants was much larger than it turned out to be when I got home. When I see plants for sale, my mind immediately tells me I have room for them somewhere in some imaginary part of the garden.
I bought two (not just one) Yucca faxoniana. Not rock garden plants, and yes, I know how big these will get. I have no idea where to put them.
I'm even gardening next door now. Is this all just me? Do I need a twelve-step program?
