Resolutions from last year - worth noting again
Can't sleep so I will post my resolutions. Also, there have been complaints about the lack of gardening blogs lately (just kidding).
I have already broken one resolution, bought two Heucheras and a fringe tree. I was smitten.

- I will not cram plants too close to each other
- I will wait until plants have broken dormancy before stuffing more plants on top of them
- I will be patient when playing ‘dead or dormant’. I will keep a log of when plants wake up
- I will cut back sedums, eupotorium, veronica, geranium, mums early enough so they do not flop. Donut shaped plants are not pretty
- I will not delude myself into thinking that sunny areas of the yard magically turn shady during the day. Which really means, curb my desire to buy more Heucheras until I have a proper spot for them.
- I will label all tubers/bareroots when storing them
- I will not do containers, they never look good
- I will plant Dahlias deep enough and stake them at planting time. They will be planted at the side of the house in a cutting garden.
- I will not grow vegetables next year.
- I will start seeds early enough and I will label the seed containers
- I will not buy peat pellets, no matter how tempting
- I will keep cutting Persicaria ‘Red Dragon’ ruthlessly
- I will shovel prune plants I do not like
- I will never plant scarlet salvia again
- I will pull all scarlet salvia seedlings as soon as they appear (okay, most of them)
