Okay, I have to make a confession somewhere. Might as well be here. I think I might be a plant hoarder, or a plantaholic, or some sort of OCD plant accumulator. I volunteered at the Friends School plant sale so I could shop at their pre-sale and came home with a carload of plants. Then I went to the local master gardener's plant sale and came home with another carload of plants. Then our neighborhood group organized two events in advance of our annual plant sale where we could go help a resident dig up existing gardens, take what we wanted for a nominal fee, and put the rest in the plant sale. Yes, I went home with another two carloads of plants. This is in addition to a number of shopping trips where I did manage to restrain myself a bit, mostly due to very noticeably higher prices. I had been thinking I am getting to the point where I really don't need much except annuals for containers and a few in ground plantings...what have I done? When will it ever stop? I am going to wind up strangled by a vine or lost in a jungle that is my own yard....
But they're just so pretty! Or it's something I don't already have! Or I needed another one! Sighing!

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