So, you know how I have been trying to have a garden for over four years now? I've decided to stop planting sun loving plants in the shade, which is where my garden is. I've also realized that trying to plant something that I find beautiful isn't a good idea either because those are what the deer find to be deliciously tasteful. I've also come up with a MASTER plan, which, if you ask me, is the best plan of all plans! Okay, here it goes. I'm going to have potted plants all over our patio that will house the flowers that the deer like to eat. I will then have Cowboy Bubba sitting on the deck with a rifle. In my north side garden I'm going to have a Cross Vine (that has already been planted), a shrub of some sort and then I'm going to add a truck load of ferns. They love shade, deer hate them and they don't die, even when I try to kill them. That's a damn good sign for me and my garden. Over in front of the pump house I'm going to plant moon flower vines that Randy (the windmill maker) sent to me. This area has an hour of morning sun and then a couple hours of late afternoon sun.
Here's what I would like from you...what do you have in your garden that you think mine is lacking? I will have an awesome garden by the fall, damn it, if it's the last thing I do! I've resorted to reading a text book on gardening, that's how much I really want a garden. So, please post your ideas...please!
