Lets get 2009 started!

So heres a new MEME (sounds like 'mem' from mem-ory). In case you are wondering a MEME is some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. I decided to start a list of questions and hope you'll decide to answer and play along!



So this is the time of year to start thinking about your garden.
I'm wondering~~~
What kind of flowers do you want to plant or what is your favorite flower?
What do you want to do differently in your garden or is it just the way you've always dreamed?
Where is your ideal garden~is it yours or do you know someone?
What do you do to prepare yourself to garden?
If you don't have a garden what would you plant or want it to look like?

Just pick a question or if you're excited do them all
