Re: 2012 Garden Conservancy Open Days: Win a Pair of Free Tickets

I'm intrigued by Hudson Hood. I haven't seen many urban gardens or many small gardens in general in the listings and I always enjoy seeing how people express themselves when they don't have acres of land to play with.

Re: What plant(s) did you kill this year?

What a hoot. I'm so sorry I didn't make it to Raleigh. Had I know about the chicken bush sooner, maybe I would have planted eggplant this year.

My favorite plant this year was a Mesabi Cherry tree given to my non-gardening husband last year. It was the first fruit tree to ripen and just produced its little heart out. Next year, everyone to my house for cherry tart.

Somehow, I killed my rhubarb. Actually, I think it committed suicide from neglect. What can I say.

Re: Do You Suffer from One-of-Each-itis?

I don't like to say I'm suffering from One-of-Each-itis. I'm just experimenting with a lot of different plants and, let's face it, they're going to arrange themselves in a few years time. But I do love the simplicity of your "paisleys in heat" design strategy.
