Yup, I finally killfiled him, so life will be much more pleasant,
I think. :-)

Yes, I do think eventually I will have to plan. Actually, my play
has led me to another question/pondering--whether I should put
some annuals in the currently large spaces between the
perennials? Actually, I like a very lush look, so I hope I am not
making a big mistake in paying attention to the spacing
suggestions. I guess those mistakes will be rectifiable though.

For some reason, this is my year to "play in the dirt". I am a
woman obsessed. I dragged my poor daughter to at least five
nurseries in two days and am now trying to be kind until she goes
back to school on Tuesday.

All this, in addition to my long-awaited connection with the local
landscaper is really psyching me.
