From This Garden Is Illegal, an awesome list about the 10 plants you should never buy (because someone will definitely give it to you).

not eveI completely agree with this list- I have had so many people try to give me English Ivy, it isn’t funny. No, no I don’t want any English Ivy, thanks. And once I tried to plant mint and thyme in the same container- the poor thyme.

I won’t give away the whole list- go over and read it for yourself, it is spot-on. While you’re there, check out the whole blog, it’s great.
