Billie's Folly

To adapt an old Yiddish adage: Gardeners plan and Nature laughs.  We can make our garden plans, but Nature often has a design of her own.  Some plants will spread, divide or seed, others may revert to a previous version of themselves, and sadly some don't thrive.  Having a good knowledge of plant characteristic and growing needs helps, but some of it is unpredictable and up to Nature's fickle nature.
