Thank you WeedWhacker, very much. Yes, I so relate to your point about Gardening Magazines. I put in a Border in my 2nd year of gardening. And, you guessed it. I had been looking at Magazines like crazy. I had every plant that needed staking, in that border. I had to clip back, to fight mildew because the plants were planted per suggestion, but were far too close to thrive. Some things were smaller than the label claimed, and others much bigger. I pruned and fussed and was a slave to that bed that year. It was pretty hilarious. Now, I am careful to have only one or two experiments a year.
