My husband and I buy seeds, collect seeds, divide plants, collect cuttings, etc.  Have them all/some growing - sometimes remember to water them, but most live a strangled life in a pot that's too small because they really should be planted out in the garden but we can't think where to put them.  After all, where does one plant 200 Canadian Maples, 40 oaks, 80 jacarandas, plus 100s of other things on a half acre block?  We just love propagating things - and we'll probably keep doing it!!!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18644072/114441696308105311/comments/default/114660649490907943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18644072/114441696308105311/comments/default/114660649490907943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://optimisticgardener.blogspot.com/2006/04/lethal-combination.html?showComment=1146606480000#c114660649490907943' title=''/><author><name>Alice</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://optimisticgardener.blogspot.com/2006/04/lethal-combination.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18644072.post-114441696308105311' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18644072/posts/default/114441696308105311' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18644072.post-114506828273982136</id><published>2006-04-15T04:31:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-04-15T04:31:00.000+02:00</updated><title type='text'>While reading Linn's comments, it dawned on me tha...</title><content type='html'>While reading Linn's comments, it dawned on me that I'd double ordered the same order from an online nursery I do business with...  It's either gardening frenzy that hits me every spring, or menopause.  Can't seem to remember anything these days.  Hope there's enough room in the garden...  Maybe it's time to dig up the northeast corner of the yard. Nuthin' much there now anyway.  What a riot.  Happy Spring.
