Any body want to share their thoughts or experiences?

Which plants are you proudest of?
Anything performed better than you expected it to?
Anything take more effort than you think it's worth?
Any plantings you were glad to get rid of?
Any landscape feature that you have now, that you would change if you could?
Anything you dream of obtaining eventually?

Thanks, this is an elixir for me!
Anything take more effort than you think it's worth? Yes! Those darn cute little Robellini palm trees. They're adorable but shrivel at the first sign of frost. Of course they survive and six months later they look OK. However right now our neighborhood is full of brown Robellinis.

I'm so happy that Mr and Mrs K9 took our two Robellinis and gave them a good home!
