Snow is blowing across the yard covering everything in a blanket of white. Inside, sipping cocoa and thumbing through catalogs the plant design possibilities are endless!
I'm working through a series of articles about different garden designs and plants that would suit each design. I think this is all stemming from my own growing frustration at the cold, icy weather gripping Oklahoma yet again - preventing me from actually starting on this barren, blank slate that is my yard.
The possibilities are endless - a white picket fence enclosure for the front side yard, a rambling rose arbor, a viburnum for winter berries, azaleas for evergreen foliage and bright blooms, lavender and mint for pottpourri and cooking herbs, layered bulbs for spring color tucked in between everything else, and of course a large vegetable plot for the tomotoes and snap peas.
The ideas aren't the problem. It's the deciding that is the problem.
