    Well apparently I just don't believe I have too many plants either. My gardens are full, and there are planters all over the yard. But guess what ... I went to the garden center today. The sign said "up to 75% off". Guess what I came home with?

    A new Rose bush, Penstemon, Variegated coreopsis, Russiand Sage, Verbascum, Campanula, and Yarrow. :rolleyes:
    I'm starting to think that maybe I have a problem

    I'm sure people think we have too many but guess what,I don't care.There are still many,many plants out there that I want to get. And I don't necessarily mean daylilies.I have 3 daylily seedlings I need to get in ground. Having hard time finding spot.Have a small blue spruce in pot that needs planting. My hub hates my expression"we can always move it later".
    I have so many containers it looks like Princess Di's funeral.

    Gosh... sounds like me. And since my "garden" is out in the street, you can imagine the embarrassment when passers-by wonder what is wrong with me :oops:

    You know you have too many plants when the pathways begin disappearing and there is no lawn. You know you are an addict when a package arrives and you forgot you had ordered iris in the spring. I remember the Daffs that haven't arrived yet. :rolleyes:

    *nudges Jewell* We've still got lawn but that's mainly because I'm too busy during the days to convert more of it. :D

    Anyhow, this year I've actually got room for more plants since so many died because of the horribly hard frost combined with no snow last winter.
