When I said that nothing is more depressing than drooling over the Burpee catalog in January, I was being completely serious. I have plans, y'all. Not experienced gardener award-winning plans, but plans nonetheless. I know what thrived last year and what sucked and was ugly. I know what I can neglect but not kill. I'm going to use that knowledge to build the yard that I want, the yard that attracts the most yellow jackets, the yard that is sure to kill . . . what? Where am I?
My plans are kind of heavy on simple things like impatiens, but it worked last year. It's a place to start, a way to learn.
Notice the Arrested Development DVD case and the jar of sage? That's what I used to make my super official landscaping plan. Because I don't know anybody else that I could ask to draw one for me. (Actually, I didn't tell him what I was up to until I was done, in case he laughed at me.)
Chicagoland Gardening had a booth near me at one of my home shows last year and I bought a subscription and I love it. Get it.
Alrighty then. Only how many more months until the sun shines again?
