Rain or shine I am going out into the backyard to clear out the garden. It looks AWFUL! Every time I have the energy, the will or the time to do a little cleaning up, the rain decides to pour down in buckets. I shouldn’t complain about the rain. Around here rain is gold. We are always in a drought. Even when the streets are flooding we are in a drought. Not exactly sure how that works, but okay. I have spent the last two years trying to create a garden that is attractive both in the warm months as well as in the cooler months. I wanted a garden that would pull me away from the computer, and into some fresh air. TODAY IS THE DAY! Lets see if I have any actual plants under all those dead leaves.
