Garden Dreaming

Spent some time today looking at the various plants and seed catalogs (online). And there are just so many wonderfully, beautiful plants. Each spring there is a feeling of optimism of the potentially gorgeous garden that I will have. But the summers of Colorado always seem to burn those dreams right up. I need to break down and realize that watering is a mainstay of Colorado gardening. A little manipulation to get things growing, instead of cooking....

I envision things for every part of my garden/ yard. Since I did a lot of work last year, putting in the corner garden/sitting area and the pond area, I am hoping that this year I can put more effort into planting and mantaining the new growth.

Container gardens in the front...
Bird feeders
Butterfly flowers
Hummingbird flowers

Corner garden:
Along the back wall build and put in some type of art work.... a focal point. A shelf over the rocks?
