While activity in the garden has greatly decreased, dreaming of gardening has greatly increased. I'm making a list for 2011. I have put the list in the
pages section on the right hand side of this blog. It will be edited and added to until I can return to active gardening next spring. Watch the list grow before the garden grows again.
I have sections in the garden. Some are obvious. For instance, the front lawn is one section (front #2). Other sections include all the areas watered by a continuous soaker hose. A section may wind along the fence to the back shrub border as an example (back #15.) I tell you this to explain the list a bit. I'm using my sections to note where I want to do something.
