"Plant for the garden you will have 5 years from now." ~ Michelle Slatalla (1961)

*Remember that you can always plant as far away as you would like however when planting too close you can create a lot of opportunity for diseases, pests, and general health problems for the plants. Immediate satisfaction is usually the motivation for over-planting, but the end results can be costly, unsightly and a lot more work than if the landscape was planted with its future in mind!*
