Veggie Garden 2011

Somebody saaaave me...from my unrelenting impulse to buy plants -- and let them eventually wither away to nothingness. Am I alone on this? Anyone? My pauvre gingko biloba tree finally gave up last year after sitting in a state of pure potted neglect for lo, [I can't say it] years. It let out a few stunted leaves, then wilted and died. I'm a monster! And yes, I am hunting for a replacement. I will refuse to actually buy it until I have space and sunlight for it, meaning that a few plum trees must be sheared and/or hacked down. Where's that electric chainsaw that has never seen light of day?
