Hi Matt. Nice to see so many pics of your lovely plants lately. I used to like going into Smith and Hawken in the early days, cause it was pretty inside and felt garden-ish, but over time I found very little of practical use or reasonably priced. I used them a few times for gifts (Christmas ornaments), and I think I got Felcos there before they were more commonly available.

You're right about this being the era for doing it yourself. Then again, we are also in an era of conspicuous consumption for the few still spending compulsively after the crash. I'm surprised to see another purveyor of fashionable lifestyle accessories like Terrain opening in these times, but they must feel there are still people with money to burn on doo-dads. Don't you think this is a shrinking demographic? Kim

Sure, I admit my spelling is poor, I am, I suppose, in too much of a hurry, and a little lazy at times, and constantly in a rush to post a blog posting during my lunch hour, or quickly before dinner after driving home. I think it's amazing that I can get done what I get done. But you are right, there should be no excuses.
I am sorry that typo's bother you so much, however, I am not certain how it undermines my credibility in a blog, since this isn't journalism, a book or a magazine * more on that later) , or why it angers you so much. I will try to take more time to edit in the future, thanks for being so supportive, and for still continuing to visit my blog now and then. So….why anonymous? Unless you are Martha, ( who I know would be on my case about spelling, and she would be right….why not fess up if I can?

You have sooooo many errors in your writing. Don't you bother to reread your writing to correct typos? "One best of show" rather than "won best of show." It undermines any possible credibility your site should have.

Matt, I had no idea they closed…you have a great insight to the retail market, as you should!I think every brand has a life expectancy in it's original form, change or die.Have you ever read The Findhorn Garden?(Paul Hawken from the seventies I think?)…just curious. Brian
