Gardening Articles 2020
Here are my gardening articles for the year 2020. But will there be anything new to write about? My garden exploits have always been repetitive, and the journal contains my erratic, day-by-day gardening ramblings. A few well-crafted, focussed articles on set topics would be nice - preferably ones that don't moan about the weeds or the weather, hee hee. As in everything, I will do my best.

Dogwood (Cornus) Trees...
- Hello, spring. How are you feeling? Not too battered by the wind, I hope. So, what's new? The Dogwoods! How wonderful. You're moving into your Cornus phase? I love Dogwoods just as much as I love my dogs.

Spring thoughts 2020...
- My first weeks of spring, 2020, have been just gorgeous! Cafe treats and gardening glories - a trailer load of garden mix, a new (i.e. charity shop) blue gardening shirt, seeds germinating, resolutions to clean out the glass-house... My cats and dogs providing great garden company. New hope!

Bargains in Pots...
- I love visiting the nursery plant sales. I love peeping at the Bargain Table, picking out shrubs I like, trying out new varieties. A favourite strategy is to display the new plants in groups of containers, then plant them out in the garden later on.

Shrub Size...
- Shrub size is puzzling. I must be either very unobservant (please no) or I live, visually at least, in a gardening dreamworld, seeing only what I want to see. I have no sense of shrub dimensions : when they're comfortably medium-sized I never sense trouble. They simply look grand, the perfect size, fitting the space I've given them...

New Year's Resolution 2020...
- I have created the best New Year's resolution ever! In 2020 I will get Non-Gardening Partner more actively involved in helping me in the garden. Think of it as a prelude to his retirement from work, if you like. No longer will I be vague and undemanding. He will not escape so easily in 2020!
