Last years garden highlights

Hi everyone, I wish you all the best for a Happy, Healthy and Creative 2011! I hope it will be a good year for blogging! I would like to thank you all for your sweet comments, cards, emails and friendship over the past year. I appreciate it very much!

I can't tell you how happy I am that it's January. The darkest days are now behind us. Spring is approaching! I visited my garden this weekend and was amazed to see some plants, like the irisses, already popping up, or showing tiny buds on their branches. I can't wait to see the first snowdrops appear. Meanwhile I have a huge pile of gardening books, which I carry with me from room to room. When I have a moment to spare I open one of them and let my imagination fly. My head is filled with colors, structures, seeds, vegetables and flowers. Do I want some more roses in the garden or is eleven different varieties enough, which annual flowers do I want to grow this year and will it be tomatoes or potatoes in the vegetable plot? Leafing through the books is so much fun already.

To remind you of how my garden looked like last year, I posted some highlights. The colours & sunshine in the pictures make me look forward to the new gardening season even more. Happy day!

Lieve groet, Madelief
