Most plants survive a finicky gardener - just don't move them while they are in bloom. Cheers to a weekend ahead of gardening!

I remember feeling the same way about my first garden but that all changed when I discovered how easy it was to move plants around...I would just lift the offending plant out with a shovel and move it around until I found a better placement. It is hard to judge how things will look when they are underdeveloped. When I saw the photos tonight I was amazed at how fast it has filled in and how great it looks!

Seriously, I think it's beautiful as-is - and you'd probably be completely horrified to see what my landlord considers to be a "garden" in front of my apartment building. Your garden is a complete eden compared to my urban nightmare. I can't wait until I have my own house - a beautiful kitchen and my own garden are at the top of my list! I love your garden!
