As I sit at the window and watch the birds eat what I provide, and the squirrels scurry
up the tree to see what treats I put out, I have my clipboard and paper and look at
the snow and know spring will come, and I do my planning. I draw sketches, go to online
sites where you can design it, but found I just like the clipboard and paper method.
I have decided since I have 2 raised brick square beds that one will be for perennials
and one for annuals. Then I decide height and placement and color combos. This spring we plan on adding 3-4 rose bushes to our rose garden. Last year my big plan was to sow
alyssum (sp) ? seeds into 2 big caved in rocks and they did flower and hang down nicely,
but I sure had to water them a lot as it did not hold much soil. Anyway living in winter
climate it is pleasing to do my planning.
