I went out this morning to look around my garden to find something that I could get into… So I started a list. I ended up with a pretty good amount of work to do… So I started with planting some left over bulbs I had in my shed. They are daffodil bulbs and they are still firm and in good shape.It’s a bit late in the season, but I’ve done this before with good results, and I hate to let them go bad. I will look forward to seeing how they come out in Spring.

Another trip around the sun now begins! 2011 just flew by for me and I am so looking forward to getting into this new year. I am going to get out in the garden more this year than last! I am going grow more tomatoes than last year! I am going to put up more chow-chow and pickled peppers than last year! These are a few of MY “New Years Resolutions”… The most important one is – GET OUT IN THE GARDEN! I walked around this morning right after sun rise, what a beautiful morning! You can’t grow much this time of year, so I found myself messing with my waterfalls… I cleaned up some leaves and cleaned my pond skimmer. The birds are really active! It’s going to be a GREAT year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you all an AWESOME 2012!
Cheers!
