Today's Lessons From the Garden

1. "Garden" sounds better than "yard."
2. When you decide to move a plant, it's a plant. When you actually move it, it's a tree.
3. I now believe there is a strong correlation between how long it takes to dig out a plant and how difficult it will be to move it, as well as to the size of the hole required for successfully re-planting it.
4. I will no longer assume that living things roughly twice my height are easy to move.
5. There are a lot of metaphors in the garden. I believe they are a type of fern.
