The mere fact that you get a lot of seeds in a packet doesn't mean you have to plant all of them.

There are no green thumbs or black thumbs. There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who ruin after ruin get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a 'natural way'. You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.

Nature does not hesitate to interfere with me. So I do not hesitate to tamper with it.

Your garden will reveal yourself.

Compared to gardeners, I think it is generally agreed that others understand very little about anything of consequence.

All who see it say, "Well, you have favorable conditions here. Everything grows for you." Everything grows for everybody. Everything dies for everybody, too.
