I stepped outside into the blistering cold of a mid-January morning. This was the type of chill that stings the throat and sends me into a coughing fit if I inhale too sharply, so I measured my breaths carefully. It had snowed while I was asleep, and everything was covered in what looked like the soft wool of a newborn lamb. The world was a glowing white that was intensified by the sun that was just starting to rise, chewing through a thin layer of clouds left over from the previous night’s storm. I looked into my backyard, and longed for color. I wanted something easier on the eye, and I dreamt of beauty cradled delicately in the petals of spring flowers.
I hope you have great success for your backyard natural garden. It might not do much the first year, so be patient.
Excellent idea Carl and looking forward to photos of the new growth in Spring and Summer.
