Yard Yearnings

You have a garden, but it is not exactly what you want. You see all these great shows on tv that have beautiful yards.

It will not happen over night unless you have oodles of money but you can get there if you make a plan.

I like shopping for end of the season sales. You can buy bushes, plants and bulbs. Some may not look like much, but remember that they are at the end of their season if they are spring or summer bloomers.

Plant them in the ground now and they will still have enough time to root a bit before they go dormant for the winter, and by next year you should have nice healthy plants.

Check the tag to make sure that you are not buying an annuals at the end of the season. These should be purchased fresh at the beginning of the season.
