When I was a kid and put more food on my plate than I could possibly eat my grandma used to say, "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach!" Now that I'm watching my portions, that's usually not true, but I think the syndrome has transferred over to my garden. When I started plunking in plants, I wanted my new garden to look fuller faster, so I planted them closer than recommended.
Quite a bit closer. *blush*
By September last year my Russian sage was crowding my rudbeckia and my rudbeckia was glaring down at my shasta daisies and I could hear them all saying, "Um, hey! A little room to grow here, please?"
What can I say--it's my first real garden. I was...enthusiastic. And this spring I can tell I'm going to have to muster some enthusiasm for moving plants around. Whoops!
So, am I alone here? Who else has "eyes bigger than their garden?" Who else is facing a crowding crisis?
