Happy New Year!!!
Wishing everyone a wonderful new year in 2016
A few thoughts for the gardener in all of us as we head into fresh new season.......
Pencil in plans and seed orders. Some can go to felt tip. Those plans set in stone harder to amend as the season goes on. Be open to changes as needed or wanted.
Stay with your tried and true and family faves.
Add a new veggie, herb, flowers.
Delete same if not doing well, not eaten or liked.
If particular plant doesn't do well, try to diagnose (soil, water, sun, micro climate, etc). If you keep doing same thing expecting different results, well, hmmm. This one may be in the delete group.
Play with a small area or container for different micro space (drier, boggy, sun, shade).
Continue to add diversity for a healthy ecosystem.
Work WITH your space, climate, environment and of course time and budget.
Work on a larger project such as renovated bed, pond, landscaping if space, time and budget permit.
Enjoy!
