I think TV is beautiful and that is why we are here but the 4 plantings a year are over zealous. I guess I would rather they be over zealous than the alternative. However, there is always room for improvement. I think 3 plantings would be cosmetically and environmentally preferable...it has nothing to do with cost in my way of thinking. It has to do with good gardening sense. But what do I know? BTW, I don't think anyone is really complaining, some experienced gardeners just hate seeing beautiful, healthy plants that are just coming into their prime ripped out and replaced by smaller immature plants that will also be ripped out of the ground before they can reach full maturity. I would also like to compliment the landscapers on the use of Foxglove this year. These plants are beautiful and very showy. I love them.
