My fav though is it's much better to buy a plant to grow as it's much healthier than chocolate.

Great post! I have free reign to do as I wish, but lies are told to me, by me. The primary untruth that I believe EVERY time: "I'll just stop and see what they have here." This rationale comes up every time I pass ANY kind of store that may carry garden supplies of ANY sort-especially small town hardware stores. It's this same lie that keeps me pretty much broke (but happy) all the time...it's a sickness...lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-29490049754247070662007-03-18T14:57:00.000-04:002007-03-18T14:57:00.000-04:002007-03-18T14:57:00.000-04:00I was never interested in blogging, UNTIL I discovered the gardening blogs.

That line really seems to resonate with those who live in the land of composting! <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-35306817480795349552007-03-02T10:29:00.000-05:002007-03-02T10:29:00.000-05:002007-03-02T10:29:00.000-05:00Too funny.<BR/><BR/>Every year I do my quicken reports and am shocked by the damage I have done. I just run the nursury to pick up one thing...<BR/><BR/>Yep.<BR/><BR/>I recently moved and the movers looked me quite strangly when I pointed to SEVERAL 30 gallon trash cans of POTTING SOIL. Loose, in the cans.

I love it :-)<BR/><BR/>Anyway...I tell the same ones as you, as well as:<BR/><BR/>1. "I just need to pick up some potting soil." And, of course, I return from the nursery with the soil, a couple pots they had on sale, several plants, some more mulch....<BR/><BR/>2. "I just want to expand this bed a <I> tiny</I> bit." A few hours later, we're hauling wheelbarrows full of sod over to the compost pile.<BR/><BR/>3. And my favorite..."Of course I have room for all of these seeds I'm starting!"<BR/><BR/>Great post :-)Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03796473958312141723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-14305978050186575622007-03-01T02:25:00.000-05:002007-03-01T02:25:00.000-05:002007-03-01T02:25:00.000-05:00I think I'm coming at it from the wrong direction.
