Winter Is a Comin' In

Posted by Angela England Nov 4, 2006

The other day I took a walk around the house while the kids were both napping and tried to take stock of what we have to work with. Not much it seems.

We have several large shade trees around the perimeter of the large yard, and a few overgrown shrubs on the side between our house and the one neighbors house. It will be interesting to see what, if anything appears with the warmer spring weather.

Once I identify all the shrubs I'll have decide whether to keep any of them. I really want to create a year-round landscape and make sure that whatever I create will have many seasons of interest.

Do you know how to use plants to create winter interest in the garden? I'm beginning to learn and you can learn along with me if you'd like.

I've ordered all my catalogs and look forward to being able to use the next couple months to sit down and start planning my flowers beds, saving up for a plant budget, and talking my husband into digging everything out for me!
