I spent almost four hours in my garden(s) yesterday and have barely touched the surface. I spent a little bit of time pruning the REALLY out of shape things and pulling out some of the dead stuff (like this) :



I see lots and lots of gardening in my future, and I'm quite OK with that. I love working in the yard (as long as it's not just pulling weeds or mowing the lawn).

I pulled and cut four wheel barrels full of stuff in just under four hours, not stopping for even one break. Yup, I'm sore- but it's a good feeling because I know I'm back to doing something that I love to do so much.

I have lots of plans for several garden themes.

The first one is this:


I also plan to put in an Asian area with a koi fish pond.

I think if I work on it for one hour every day after work, then a few hours on the weekend, I'll be ready to do the REALLY fun stuff. I've ordered the seeds and plan to start those in doors using my seedling heat maps and grow lights.

Really, once all the planting is done, there'll be very little maintenance to the yard since I have a sprinkler system. I don't for see getting to that point though, for at least two months. There's a lot to be done.

It'll be beautiful and relaxing when I'm finished. Something I'm really looking forward to.
