Exactly Robin, Not only does a plan allow you to plan your future garden saving you time and money, it is only paper. If you make a mistake, you can start over…its only paper! Those same mistakes made in the garden are not so so easily fix!
Great info about getting a plan in place before you dig.~~Dee
Having a plan really helped with my back garden redo~I like this series Helen! gail
Dee, it just makes sense. But you know, many years ago when started my first garden, I didn’t do a plan. Oh, if I could have back all those dollars LOL! H.
Thanks Gail!
Totally agree, especially when beginning a project. Trial and error is not only time consuming but $$$ expensive! Happy weekend gals … may it find you in the garden
Happy weekend to you too, Joey! H
I’m taking your advice in a big way. I’m working with a garden designer right now. Can’t wait to see her plans!
Carol, I can’t wait to see too! H.
