Yep, I certainly did. Don't ask me if I needed them, let's just say they were a requirement for my mental well being. 
We went to Whole Foods Market tonight for a few things and so I could check out the herb plants they always have in the spring. They also had a seed rack filled with seed packets from Seeds of Change, of all places. I am really impressed with the germination rate of their seeds, the cucumbers and squash I got from them were up in less than a week, I just am not pleased with their Customer Service.
So now when the rain stops I will be getting some German Chamomile, English Thyme and Bachelor Buttons potted up. I also got 6 small pots of Pennyroyal to put outside the entrance Rambo uses to come in from outside. It is a flea repellant and with good luck it will at least make him smell better when he comes in.

Hey if you keep buying at this rate Toni you'll have no pots or garden space left!!!!  Isn't it lovely to be a plantoholic?

Plantoholic!! That is a good word for what I have. I was out buying yesterday, too. Just isn't easy resisting the temptation. I guess there are worse things to be addicted to.

Where there's dirt, there's plants! Keep going until there's no dirt left!

I keep making more flower beds for the plants and seeds to call home and with each one Rambo has to wander around the yard a little longer trying to find a place to do his business.

But really I am not a plantaholic. I am simply replacing plants that I have shared with others.
I gave Lisa three rose bushes and about 2 dozen Cannas, another 3 dozen Cannas went to a friend of Randy's and I just sent about 7 to Courtney...I will be giving away two spreading Lantana next week and each of those has a spread of about 4 feet in diameter so not only do I need to replace two plants but also have that much area to fill in with other plants.
So the way I see it, I have to buy at least 8 dozen more plants to replace the ones I don't have any more.
Guess I had better get car gassed up and ready for to make the rounds of garden centers in the north Texas area.

I think I may be well on my way to becoming a plantaholic  Were bout to go to WalMart for swimsuits, and you know Im going to be cruising the garden center!!
I just had an idea... My neighborhood has a community yard sale every spring. So I think Ill pot some seeds and when theyre nice and sturdy, Ill sell em then

I think I'd much rather be planting than scraping to pour concrete!
