Shocker - No Garden in 2011

It'll be quite some time before there's anymore posts on this blog. I'm giving up the gardening for a year to focus on my other passion -- mountain biking. I entered a 7-day stage race next May 29-June 4 and training for it will consume all my spare time from about Nov 1 until the day of the race. There won't be any time for any gardening next spring. I'm actually looking forward to taking a break from the spring clean-up. I've already started prepping beds this fall so no work will be needed next spring. And there's a bed or two I'm giving back to nature -- the herb garden will become whatever it wants and I may do the same with part of the rose garden. They'll both be there another year if I decide to clean them up again. Enjoy your passion!
