Whew, I’m glad you guys agree. I felt a little nutty writing this post. It’s a little more touchy-feely than I usually allow myself to get.

You are so right, Fern! I have mentored a lot of people who want to be garden designers over the years and it seems like they immediately want to go from liking gardening to making a good living designing.

But you can’t rush the learning process, and so much of what makes an awesome gardener able to advise others is by firsthand experience of what doesn’t work. Good post!

Thanks for this last tip…I have had to come to realize that if something doesn’t make it around here, it was just not meant to be mine! LOL! Glad to know I am not alone!

Well said Fern! Gardening has to be viewed as a rather fluid journey, with high and low spots in planting…it’s probably the lack of rules and structure that attracted me to it! Mathmatical formulas never made any sense to me, so I for one would much rather have my gardening time be experimental and enjoyable, with lots of do-overs and re-arranging.
