        I'm a plantaholic too sal, and anything within reason in the garden centres, sheds or nurseries at a good price, it finds it's way at the tills. Can't resist :)

            It took me 5 years to finish my house , not start again just for a bigger garden :phew: , one of the tropical advantage is that you can move plants around and every year it will look different , plus tropical plants are used to fight for space .
            I don`t want a big garden but i want a great garden ,then remember that it`s really hardy to make a small garden look great ....more challenge for me .
            Every year we all try new plant , some will stay and someother will go sure will find some space ; )

              I want a bigger garden!
              I could some more of my favourite plants - bamboo. And also let my current ones get a bit bigger.

              As you say, with tropical, things do get moved around each year when you plant them out in spring.
