(no subject)

It is freakin freezing outside this evening, so I am holed up in bed with a cup of tea and garden magazines. Tomorrow I will venture out onto the patio with my newly acquired stack of pots (which I picked up for free from the container recycling bin at the grocery store garden centre - FTW!!!), transfer all the seedlings, and add them to the ranks of the waiting-to-be-transplanted.

I don't know why I am so giddily obsessed with garden stuff right now. Probably because I can insulate myself from such annoyances as wild and woolly weed incursions and patchy grass through MAD SCHEMING.

For instance: our soon-to-be front yard? Dear lord, I think...I think most of it might actually have full sun. FULL SUN ZOMG. The things I could do with a yard in full sun. I can't belieeeeeeeeeve that the current owners are wasting that on grass!!

Also, I love this definition of the cottage garden. Cottage gardening as presented here strikes me as charming, responsible, and sensibly laid back in addition to having stunningly beautiful results.
