Hi. My name is Laura and I am a list maker.

My garden journal/idea doc reads like a list of lists of lists, and that's the way I like it. It's the only way I get anything done, and then at the end of the day I get to feel a sense of accomplishment from not only admiring my new garden project, but also crossing it off the list. Sick, I know.

Before starting each new season I try to think about general goals to set for myself. This list doesn't include my "must have' plants, or design doodles for the new bed. It's more of a behavioral guide. How can I make my gardening practices, and as a result my garden, better? My goals for this year include the following:

Improve hardscape

Sunday morning = Garden photo day

Keep bloom calendar

Take care of/keep up with the gardens I already have

Pot up plants w/o homes immediately

Do not use patio as plant holding/work area

Participate/visit more new stuff from HVGC

What are yours?
