Gardening resolutions for 2006
We all know that resolutions are bullshit, but as these are not aimed at improving my personal appearance or becoming a better person, I think there might be some hope.
1. I will have a pond. It will have rocks, plants, and fish. I will heed this quote from literary gardening guru Beverley Nichols:
“…I take this opportunity of reminding the reader that every garden must begin with water in some shape or form even if it is only a pool two feet square sunk into a little concrete terrace. If this reader’s retort is ‘In that case I haven’t got a garden at all because I haven’t got any water in it,’ my reply is, ‘Quite. You haven’t got a garden.’”
2. I will spend less than $500 on plants.
3. I will spend less than $500 on bulbs.
4. I will consider making compost. Maybe.
5. I will attempt to cultivate, once again, the sunny strip between the garage and next door.
6. I will finally dig up and rearrange the hosta bed.
Ok, that’s it.
