Happy 2024!
It's been another mild start to winter with above normal temperatures and rain instead of snow, but that's changing this week. We're gearing up for our first big storm of the season - better late than never! Since I don't have the discipline to follow through with new year resolutions like lose weight, eat better, exercise more, yadda yadda yadda, I'm just going to jot down my landscaping goals for this year. They may or may not happen.
* Finish the mule track, at least the first section. I've had terrible luck with equipment this year, but hopefully everything is now straightened out and ready to go for spring chores. Fingers crossed.
*Create paths in the back yard. There are a few things that are going to require some assistance from equipment, and this is one of them. If I can get the paths laid, I can get the cat fence up, and I'll deal with creating gardens after.
*Install a conifer/alpine bed in the back yard. Another chore that will require a backhoe to dig out an area for planting, and add in some landscape rocks to create the right mood for alpine plants. I have a whole stack of big rocks, so this is going to be fun.
I still have my forest garden project to work on, my new cottage garden beds, the new barn hot garden beds, and many other items on my never ending to-do list, but those are the things I hope to finish before the year is out. I'm also thinking of building a rustic pergola over the lower gravel patio just to see if I can do it. So long as I don't lose steam before May gets here, I should be ok.
