I LOVE to design planters and this is one I made over the weekend. There are daffodills mixed in with the pussy willows and pansies that will be blooming in the next few days. I think it came out great and feels like a little bit of Spring.
If I could go back in time and choose a different path I'd probably choose landscape design. There is nothing I enjoy more than getting out into the gardens, designing planters, and cruising the aisles of the local greenhouse.
Every Spring I swear
(except that I don't) that I will "control myself" when it comes to new plants, shrubs, trees etc. The problem is those darn flyers that come out in the Thursday night paper.
The colourful flowers, the new varieties of shrubs, and those great garden accessories........
I admit it....I usually fail miserably......I tell myself that I am only going to "look"..............but alas the temptation is usually too hard to resist..............and I end up with just a few new things. Luckily I have THE BEST husband who is happy to let me shop, and dig, and weed, and plant. I think that he knows that gardening for me is like therapy.......and trips to the greenhouse are cheaper than a shrink!
