As the new spring 2010 season starts, I’m beginning with an essentially blank slate in my backyard. Â Over the winter, we’ve been preparing beds as the weather allows. Â Relocating sprinkler heads from the perimiter of the fence to the edge of the sod. Â Digging up old unknown bushes, weeding, and fortifying the soil.
As I peruse other austin gardening blogs (like Pam Pennick’s Digging), I note the plants that I want to grow, and add them to this never ending list
