Managed to spend some time last week trimming some overgrown shrubs. Pruners, loppers, and even the chainsaw were needed on a willow that had lost some inner branches. One more willow to go, and since tomorow is forecast to be sunny (but cold), looks like my best bet to get out and finish this early winter chore. All of my plant orders; including shrubs, trees, perennials, and annuals, are in for the 2012 season. The trees and shrubs are sitting in a bunker somewhere in Minnesotta and will arrive in late March. The rest of the perennials will be transplanted by the end of February and then I'll start in on the annuals. Have placed a large order for decorative containers and am looking forward to offering some upscale container gardens in 2012. Pansies have always been a favorite of mine and so have Wave Petunias, so I was excited about a new Pansy variety called Cool Wave which is suppose to have a spreading rather than an upright/mounding habit. Am looking forward to trying it. Despite the cold, I have been spending as much time as possible outside soaking up the rays that nurture my psyche. Northern Nevada has some outstanding sunshine and I'll enjoy it while it's here.
