I sometimes think of having a garden designer come by and give me some ideas about how to fix my jungle. I can just hear the first words to be uttered: "You have too many plants." followed by something about trees not being happy growing in pots indefinitely. There would be the inevitable "Have you considered removing some of the yard art, perhaps showcasing a few pieces at a time?" The consultation idea quickly passes. I guess we don't ask questions if we don't want to hear the answers. Oh well, for now, I'm happy living in Grey Gardens West and don't really mind plants reaching out to grab me as I wander the paths. It can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially before the rains return and everything has to be watered on a fairly regular basis.
Just as you step out of my greenhouse, this rusty wood stove, a freebie from the side of a road, is now nearly swallowed up by foliage and topped with overflow from the pot ghetto to the left.
