Mine was magical. I'm a big fan of abundance when it comes to plants. Sure, I've since learned that a whole packet of seeds of each type aren't required, but that's just part of the learning curve.
It's now so nice to feel the freedom of easy change; on a whim I can rip out an old section of garden and be entirely comfortable in knowing that I'll have plenty of new plants handy to fill in the fresh design.
I've one more obligation to fulfill before deadline, and then I'm getting started!
