http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/ Garden news can range from the smallest new plant purchase to the biggest new landscaping project. Then there's the big wide gardening world outside the garden gate to keep an eye on. What about all the garden tours, new plant releases, garden festivals? They all promise new experiences. Something's always happening somewhere, be it on radio, TV, in magazines, on the internet, at the local nursery, or at Moosey's Country Garden. en-us Copyright 1997-2004 Eggyweb Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:22:47 -0700 http://backend.userland.com/rss eggy@mooseyscountrygarden.com http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-journal-08/winter-garden-journal-080707.html Hee hee. It's nearly four weeks after the winter solstice, and the sun already rises ten minutes earlier. All natural things are on the move, and I'm already thinking of spring.

Shopping behaviour is a serious reflection of character, and defines ones garden style - or lack of it!

This has to come to its natural conclusion soon, or I'll have more paths than garden borders - now that would be a funny look!

What was my favourite coloured rhododendron? I was soon struggling to answer...

I have more garden paths to organise, as well as Non-Gardening Partner. Let me see - what can he do in the garden today?

Boy oh boy - do I have a Grand Gardening Plan for you! Be very impressed...

That's why I like winter-touring with my camera and my cats (oops - nearly forgot - and the dog).

But I've slightly run out of money - oops.

All my plants are shiny and wet after yesterday's 'extreme weather event'. All the snow has gone - good riddance! I'm afraid I have a rather non-romantic attitude to snow.

I'm sure lots of lovely new plants and trees would make brilliant rewards for this good winter-gardening behaviour.

It's definitely time for casseroles, stews, and pumpkin soup. And my garden, full of new shrubs, new paths, and new weeds, is a foliage feast simmering in winter's slow cooker.

Time spent buying new plants and ordering spring seeds does count. Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:59:10 -0700 http://garden-news/upcoming-events.html http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-news/moosey-news-0807.html Winter - no problem! Sensible gardeners wear layers of thermal underwear, slurp lots of hot drinks, and if they get too cold they split some firewood. And they absolutely don't grump or complain...

A winter weekend, and the weather is quite warm. I am performing miracles in the Hump, a sandy, messy stretch of potential garden between the house lawns and the front paddock.

Finally, for the very first time, the Moosey country garden finally has a network of great garden paths, down which it's a pleasure to be led!
