Diane Whitehead asked " How many acres do you have?" The lot is approximately .25 acre. The house, sidewalks, a patio, a shed take a big chunk of that. Shade from massive oaks makes much of what is left unsuitable for sun loving plants. Wild expansion? Maybe in my dreams. I'm running a garden here, not an agricultural experiment station. Of course, I behave (i.e. buy) as if I'm running an agricultural experiment station. Jim McKenney
