I hear you...if ten years ago I could have looked forward and seen how
incredibly busy our lives would get, I'm sure I would have gone smaller,
not bigger.  Haven't had much time the past couple of years for keeping up
with all the beds and you can sure see it...BUT...now with all the kids
finally moved out and semi-independent, maybe more free time will translate
into more time in the gardens...we'll see.  Its been awesome seeing
everyone's posts...
