    It seems The Mulch stole my idea! Okay, they didn’t steal it. They just had the same idea and implemented it on their site. Darnit! They call it the Plant Cemetery.

    How interesting that you decided to dedicate a whole garden to those plants…Actually, the plants that didn’t last with me were the more interesting ones:)
