Ooo such a lot of ideas
I will have to make a decision and stick to at least one of them.
I would love to get all different colours of arums in my garden (I currently have only white ones.) the Yellow ones I planted never stood a chance as the cutworms feated on the bulbs.
I want to try and grow a Leucadendrom shrubs that opens up when flowering.
I want to start a herbal, scented garden, (A pipe dream)
I want to start a vegetable patch and do companion gardening. (If only I had the space.)
WHere do I stop? WHere do I start?

I'm haven't grown and lettuces or bok-choy for years, but I'm intending to give 'em a try on my deck where slugs won't be so much of an issue. I'm giving away a couple huge peony plants to friends to make more room in my garden area to play with cutting flowers - love the idea of zinnias, stratsmom!
My kids want to plant indian corn - I can't think of where I can put them that will get enough sun, but if creativity strikes we may.
Want to add more shrubs and small trees along our back fence too - this year we did nineteen of them along one side, now to tackle the next leg.

Thanks to everyone on their gardening projects. Looks like we'll all be busy come spring.

I need to work on my soil. I am composting like crazy with all the produce from the grocery store. I want to raised beds and definitely put out "NO SPRAY" signs. I really think the lack of weed killer will help my garden next year.

I have trouble with flowers getting too large or not large enough where I plant them. You sure don't want a huge plant in the front of a flowerbed but how do you know how much it likes or dislikes the area. Trial and error....Sherry8
