When we lived in Brooklyn Heights I certainly could not afford $1.49 for even six petunias, much less afford all the stuff that you have.! My annual income was only $3500 ($1300 went for rent). The only plant we had was a Rose of Sharon that someone else had planted (maybe Henry Ward Beecher if he got a break from fooling around with his friend) and there was a naked man in a window just across the way. As you know we had a black cat, which we named the Monster of Depravity, who beat up all the other neighborhood cats.
Our family was poor, but we were very tough. So tough that folks might have mistaken us for Aussies.
