I wish I had the time your wife does. I'm not positive that we have enough room for 1000+ species of plant!!T-Shirt wrote:sounds like a good plan, Just advising you plant as much as you can afford (even if smaller, but healthy plants)
They will take off (given a year or so) and you will reap the reward of a mature landscape/increased property value sooner......plus you get to enjoy them.
We bought our old (1939) house 17 years ago with a few save-able specimen plants and now have 1000-1200 different varieties (my wife is plant nut, works at a highend nursery, and spend most of her spare time pruning, planting, planning, etc., etc.) a different climate for sure but we have something with blooms or berries every day of the year.
always something to look at even in the snow.
ill post some pictures once we get all the prunings from this week picked up
