I just don't like how messy the garden is getting. I'm out of control and so is the garden. <br /><br />I really just need to slow down and think before I buy /plant.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596276645644908057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802216931708402044.post-35455238853768428452009-07-27T06:02:51.458-07:002009-07-27T06:02:51.458-07:00Are you having fun?

Somehow, I don't think my #2 would be your #2... but I can see that your garden's character has become a distraction. I hope you'll capture the cacophony for us and share your progress as you bring your garden more in line with how you're thinking.cityslipper (home kitchen garden)http://www.homekitchengarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802216931708402044.post-21878704547609302262009-07-27T05:47:59.871-07:002009-07-27T05:47:59.871-07:00You and your garden will sort yourselves out littl...You and your garden will sort yourselves out little by little. Either you can think and study and plan to the point where you don't plant anything and the whole thing becomes a chore, or you can pay attention and gradually you get tired moving the plants around (we all do this though) and a balance arises where an overall scheme begins to evolve. Most gardeners go through stages of collecting everything they love, then editing and rearranging, then developing the "bones." The biggest thing is to enjoy what you're doing and allow yourself to learn as you go.Kari Lønninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13672700685648322233noreply@blogger.com
