Shadegardens: thinking of thefts

Vanessa's post reminded me of a discussion my husband
and I had before deciding to go full tilt into the
gardening experience :-)  We decided to put our
perennial garden in the backyard, and to limit our
really special plants to this area. While we have
a fair-sized front yard garden, we tend to put our
annuals there. Plant theft is not unknown in our
area, and our city is part of a contest every year
for the most beautiful gardens in Canada - since
ppl want to win (individual awards as well as
city awards) I guess temptation is too hard to resist
from time to time. So our goodies are hidden from
view, unless we decide to tell our German Shepherds
that it's OK for you to enter the backyard :-)

This is not to frighten anyone, of course. I just
found it amusing that Vanessa considered the same
thing I did - and yes, we did have a plant that
never came back ... even the roots disappeared ...
this, of course, was before we decided on the
backyard arrangement :-)
