remember if you have moved to mainly watch for the first year you will find many gems that look like weeds until they flower.

try to replace plants that return every year avoid use of bedding plants yes they give instant colour but only for that season and plants can be dug up and moved just check when. have fun and may your gardens florish.

###########################################################################

Spring and Winter are locked in a battle
we know that spring will be triumphant
that in the weeks to come seeds and bulbs
will shoot letting nature's pallet blaze out.

Now things get interesting we can see
what things need to move or be thinned
we adjust until nothing clashes with each other
and get rid of drastically weeds always waiting.

As we move into May the garden is a hive
of activity pollinators hard at work harvesting
making sure that the following year is a blaze
soft yellows blending with the hot scented plants.

As you move round your garden you will see success
but also failures which you alter to fit the map
that lives in your heads now for a short while
you can sit back and drink in the creation you made.

Dear Shadow, your Although the poem recognizes that planting isn't without its share of difficulties, it ultimately praises the gardener's and the landscape's capacity for perseverance and change. The last verse encourages contemplation of the season's ups and downs, as well as the joy of witnessing one's efforts bear fruit.

Thanks for the info... Your The poem also acknowledges the inevitable challenges and setbacks that come with gardening, but celebrates the resilience and adaptability of both the gardener and the garden itself. The final stanza invites reflection on the successes and failures of the season, and the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of one's labor come to fruition.
