Bob, I'm an addict too. My hubby is supportive but my hobby is taking over my life. Watering takes almost an hour a day now if done right. I get up at 2 am if I think that the trees need to be protected from wind or rain or roving raccoons. Instead of cleaning the house, I spend hours playing with the trees.
Maybe someday we could all come to your house and do a tree swap. Bring trees that we have lose interest in and swap with someone else. That helps everyone....
And I'll bring the strawberry daquiris.
