Garden Work: Step One

It's time to start working in the garden again. And now is the time to start. In January? Yep in January.

The first step in gardening is planning, planning, and planning. Or is it more like dreaming, dreaming, and dreaming? And then taking those dreams and turning them into plans and then taking those plans and making them happen? Gardening, along with the landscaping piece of gardening. can be a lot of work, in order to motive myself to get the landscaping piece done I need to start with the critical element of dreaming about the finished picture, for that is what sets my gears in motion.

The snow is on the ground and it is cold outside so my outside January projects are on hold. Therefore I am spending my time in the dreaming/planning stage. What projects do I want to aim for this summer? What do I need to do to get them underway? And most importantly what features and plants do I need in order to pull it altogether? With that said... it is the time to plan and dream of my spring/summer garden.

I also hope to include more pictures this year.. before and after pictures so that I can visually record my progress and see how far I have come in the progress of my garden/yard work.


With that being said... I am off to check my camera for previous photos and to check books and magazines and websites for beautiful pictures and ideas.

With love and dirt, Kristi
