May Dreams Gardens

Happy New Year!

December 31, 2008 By Carol Michel 23 Comments

Happy New Year!

My wishes for you…

May 2009 be your best year yet, both in and out of the garden.
May you find time for all the gardening you’ve ever wanted to do.
May you have blooms not only for bloom day, but every day throughout the year.
And may you make peace with whatever rabbits dwell in your garden.
Let’s all make 2009 the Year of the Garden!
Embrace the new year!

    Wonderful wishes! And I wish you the same, especially about the rabbits. And isn’t every year the year of the garden?

    I like the American Horticultural Society’s motto: Making America a Nation of Gardeners, a Land of Gardens

    Happy New Year Carol and thank you for the new year wishes. We started two bags of compost this morning with our neighbor’s leaves that came to visit our shrubs. (Ha) and placed a new ‘family’ rock in the front. Susie

    What? You don’t have a link to tell us how to make peace with our rabbits? ;o) I don’t even know how many rabbits I have, but they take their share of my lettuce.

    I’d also like to know how to make peace with squirrels. We’ve been feeding them along with the birds, but they prefer what we provide for the birds.

    Happy New Year,
    Sue

    Hi Carol,
    Happy New Year from the chilly UK! I’m new to blogging, but love gardening and I think your site is great.
    I’ve just started doing a blog about the trails and tribulations of building a Japanese garden, but I also now grow organic fruit and veg – which is where I came across your site. I’ll look forward to getting lots of helpful tips!

    Long may we continue to enjoy the fruits of our labours!

    Liz – aka Nutty Gnome
