I was reading some info online today about pruning and re-potting fancy hybiscus & came across a line that as a pumpkin grower I found interesting: It is better to put a $5 plant in a $20 hole, than to put a $20 plant in a $5 hole.

From when I was a wee thing, they would say don't put a $5 tree in a 50c hole, do it the other way around.

Shows you inflation gets EVERYWHERE :)
