More projects.....

The snow still covers the ground and I continue to think of garden projects for the upcoming season. Almost forgot that I want to put in a rock garden in the front side yard.. where the makings of a rock garden has been started. Want to "plant" rocks and amend the soil so that it supports plants that are often grown in rock gardens.

I will start to plan and list the supplies I need for my raised vegetable garden plots for this year. That is my prime objective this summer.. to produce a wonderful veggie garden. Every year it seems as though my veggies are always lacking and unproductive, I don't know if it's the soil? the amount or lack of watering? but this year I am going to put more time and effort into the veggies. I have drip hoses and sprinklers that I bought which will stay in place in the veg garden so that all I have to do is pull the hose over to this area and connect and water... fertilize and amend the soil will also be important.

VEGGIE GARDEN PLANS.. OBJECTIVES:

Amend soil.
Succession plantings
Water consistently.
Weed regularily.

Cover/ shade/ and tend!!!

ALSO....
I put in my application for Tagawa Gardens for the upcoming season. And when I stopped in with the paperwork I popped through to say hello to Dee. and it sounds really promising that I will be rehired for the upcoming sesaon!!!! YEAH!! If I make it back for a subsequent season it will be a shoe-in that I will be considered for other seasons thereafter, as long as I apply and keep coming back!!! I love the place.. the plants.. the atmosphere.. the workers.. etc.

This summer my garden is going to be my refuge and haven. It will be my soul replenishing place where I go to meditate and renew myself. I will transcend the place so that it is a healing, safe, and wonderful place to go... and if it isn't I will heal it so that it evolves into the kind of place that is healing and rejuvenating. When I think of a place that is healing and rejuvenating, what do I think of?

HEALING/ REJUVENATING....
Green// lush... quiet.. solitude.. secluded!!! How can I make it so? Lots of plants... waterfall.. more prominent and louder. Pergola over the patio. Gazebo or arbor over the corner seating area. Lots of plants.. bird refugee.. sitting areas.. small, quaint areas/ rooms in the back. Take time to work the garden and also enjoy the garden.. time to relax and enjoy.

Looking forward with great anticipation and hope for a wonderful, beautiful summer in my garden!!!! 07 will be a year of garden wonder. Kristi
