The Gardening Project: 2009

Ok.  This year I have a whole new plan for my landscaping efforts. 

Anyone that’s been to my house knows I am not the best gardner around.  I do it more for the love of actually planting something & watching it grow, more so than actually knowing what I’m doing.  When gardening, I just do it, no overthinking allowed.   Now, my philosophy has resulted in some rather colorful and unusual arrangements, believe me.   Just ask anyone about the giant zinnias I planted that grew taller than my hubby and completely took over the mailbox (and the driveway)- LOL.

Now, after about 4 years of playing around, I think I finally got a plan that I can institute this spring, and will only have to maintain each year, as oppose to totally redoing it all.  I can’t wait, I’m all excited. 

Now, as soon as it stops raining long enough for me to put my new plants in the ground, I will be all over the new look for the yard.  I’ll even have some before and after pics.  I have one friend (and you know who you are) that has no faith in my skills whatsoever, and usually falls out laughing whenever I tell her what I did to the front yard.

Oh ye of little faith, be prepared to eat your words- LOL.
