What are your GARDENING plans for 2009 ?

I don't really have much in the way of 'Gardening Plans' for 2009. The same as I haven't had for the last few years.

I have had a number of 'projects' in my garden over the last three years but they have 'just growed'. Some of them have happened because of the force of nature and others out of serendipity.

For example: we needed to take down two very old wooden sheds as the rats had chewed great holes in the walls and floor s over the years. We intended to replace them with a metal shed - fairly simple. Once the area had been cleared Mrs shiney decided that it looked bigger than she thought so would prefer it as a patio area. I said that it would be overshadowed by a giant laurel alongside it - 10ft high, 30ft long and 20ft deep!!! We ended up taking out the laurel and building a very big summer house in its place. The metal shed ended up being erected down the garden.

Sort of plan for 2009:-
Next month we are having to remove a number of trees that have got too big. As they are all over the garden this will leave various patches that will need to be filled. Do we make plans? No! We shall do what we usually do. Have a look at what plants we have in the greenhouse and in our charity plant sale area and decide which of them needs a home. Then we just plonk them in the ground wherever there is a space. :thumb: :D

Those of you that have visited us on our charity open day will have seen the results of our random planting. :lollol:

We'll never get into the 'Yellow Book' :( :D

If I get time I shall take before and after shots and post them - but I think I said that once before and never got around to it :dh:
