You'll find many of your plants will survive, but those will try to take over everything else and it will turn into jungle. <br /><br />I'm deeply curious to know where you're going, as you seem to have it all planned out so far in advance.

That must engender an interesting mix of conflicting emotions. I'm a lot better at letting things go during the summer. I use to fight it and rail against it. I've learned that the strong will survive and the others come back in better seasons--if they are meant to. I'm not sure how I'd approach the idea of letting things go permanently. How much energy could I put into a place knowing I was going to leave it?<br /><br />On the other hand, maybe I'd get more done. My current malaise stems from indulging to much in the idea that there's always tomorrow.mss @ Zanthan Gardenshttp://www.zanthan.com/gardens/gardenlog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467954833951005991.post-17213589570006647332010-09-16T15:45:01.016-07:002010-09-16T15:45:01.016-07:00Carol, did you notice that most shots are upclose....Carol, did you notice that most shots are upclose...that's to hide the mess!ConsciousGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253940238405185012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467954833951005991.post-64553320461672483262010-09-16T08:55:55.178-07:002010-09-16T08:55:55.178-07:00What a lovely, inviting view ... beautiful!
