Gardening in the High Desert.
Always with the grand schemes and plans for the new garden - but really how many of those dreams actually come true? So many things on the "To Do List" left undone. "This you will be different," I always say, but will it? I am determined to at least do better each year. Last year was better than the year before, and by many measures, my best year yet - ever. Keep striving, keep heading towards an ideal, clear vision, a plan, and ruthless execution - the keys to good project management and attainment of goals.

Snow in subfreezing temps followed by mild day daytime temps should encourage weed seeds to germinate in the new beds. Then I can hoe them under, letting their tiny leaves and roots enrich the sandy sand and help turn it to dirt.
