I try to remember to carry an acryllic paint pen from Wal-Mart when I go to Schumacher's. If I don't label the pot, I'm out of luck later in telling what I have. Last fall's bargains mostly languished in the greenhouse, and only a few survived. Most were rootbound when I bought them and needed to be potted up. Time ran out. Same old story.
I have thrown in the towel and have a landscaper coming next week to look at my acre of mess and start drawing up plans and giving me an estimate.
When I had energy, I worked long days and sometimes week-ends and had no time. Now I have time and not enough energy. And in today's economy, it would be thoughtless not to employ hard-working people who need work. How's that for an "excuse"?
Actually, I just want a yard and garden I can enjoy while I am able to enjoy it. I'm going for a watering system too if DH does not holler too much.
