Thinning the "Rainforest"

  After the final threat of a freeze, I dragged all of the potted plants from the greenhouse.  Some made it to their summer place of residence which is the outdoor arbor/shelf but others only made it as far as the pathway to the backdoor of the greenhouse.  Normally, this pathway is about ten feet wide but with the plants lining the edges it is barely passable now.  In fact, Son informed me today that this "rainforest" is going to have to be thinned simply because it is a fine place for a cottonmouth to hide.  I see his point and promise to work on hauling the plants to their rightful spots, although, they seem to be perfectly happy where they are and maybe I can just use the front door of the greenhouse!

  All this hauling of plants has made me start thinking that perhaps I should do a bit of culling.  I hate it.  It saddens me to think that I should discard any living thing.  That said, I have been trying to convince my daughter that she needs more plants.  Her place is already is filled with gorgeous plants of all types but I figure she needs more.  Hopefully, my plan will work and the back pathway will become a bit safer.  I am getting too old for this!
