I can never understand why so many gardeners think $20 spent on a restaurant dinner that gives you one hour of pleasure is justified, while the same $20 on a plant that gives you years of pleasure is too expensive.
There will always be some individuals for which the statement is actually true, and that is normal. But when most people think that way, society is just out of whack.
It's the herd mentallity.
