Mary, Mary quite contrary.....

Yeah, now I know why Mary was in such a bad mood! She was trying to plan her garden - trying to make sure everything was planted in the right spot, and was going to bloom at the right time. Heaven forbid if you don't get the right mix in there. Just thinking about gives me a headache, and thinking about it a lot is exactly what I have been doing.

Since we are soon to be home owners (just waiting on the appraisal) I thought I would get a jump on it and start planning the how I want to landscape. I realize I am jumping ahead of things quite a bit, but you can never been too prepared. Right? Wrong!

How on earth do you do it! Get the plant in the right spot (sunlight vs. shade), get the right mix of bloomers in a bed (spring, summer, and fall) and have a varity of colors. Arg!

Being my responsible little self, I checked out flower and garden books out from the library. Do you know how many options they show you? It's killing my perfectionist little heart. Heaven help me and my yard.

My first!

I give in. Everyone I know has a blog. So who I am not to have one? Just call me a follower and get it over with. I can hear my dad now, "If everyone jumped off a cliff would you?", and I guess in this case the answer would be yes. Maybe this will be easier to keep up with than the website I created and never update. Time will tell.
