I tried really hard to be lazy and not get into the newer stuff coming up but I have been trying harder to keep a log of this year's gardening exploits, if not only for myself. So I dug up a pencil and grabbed one of those credit card offer envelopes and headed out to the greenhouse. Junk mail envelopes make great notepads, by the way. They make even better mulch and packing material once they are shredded.
 

We have been staring at this plan for nearly three years now and have finally gathered the ambition to get started. A few things have changed since we decided on this plan, like the front yard layout and the rectangular shrub fence but this is pretty much it.
