Being silly rocks. I am still laughing at Arlene's post Rolling on the floor laughing

So my best friend started backing away and going "no more plants, thank you very much," every time I mentioned sharing anything. Several weeks ago her very large front yard was excavated to fix a pipe leak, and then it rained about 10 inches and turned the whole thing into somewhat of a sinkhole. I said, "hmmmm, looks like an opportunity for a new garden to me," and she agreed. She ordered 14 yards of dirt to fill it in. Once the excavator levels it out, I am bringing over everything I can find. Therefore, my pot ghetto will shrink significantly in the foreseeable future. HOWEVER, this is not due to any planning on my part, but to an accident of nature. I'm pretty sure I'll wind up in the same pickle when the late season sales get going.... Hi, I'm Jeanie, and I am a plantaholic....

Here is a photo of the first time the trench was dug and then covered up, before all the rain. Her front yard is probably half the size of a football field.

Old gardeners never die. They are just pruned and repotted.
