But to play a bit of the Devil's  Advocate (and
with all due respect to Dan Hinkley et al.), their original  sale of the

their reasons.  But when you sell the hen house to a fox, you  shouldn't be
too surprised at the result.  

===>I agree, Don. And we might all actually benefit from this  transaction if 
some of those plants Dan grows so well in the Pacific NW can be  acclimated 
to the climates the rest of us have. And grown on a larger scale in  PA, maybe 
prices will even come down. Bigger businesses are not ALWAYS evil! 
 
It would be disappointing, though, if the Washington garden wasn't nurtured  
to continue to be a great place to visit. I've been there twice and it's a 
great  place to see.
