Some Suggestions

How about an online HTML course

You could spend about 8 hours on the phone with tech support because your computer betrayed you right before classes started!

One thing I find particularly helpful is browsing online or in my gardening books and catalogs and planning for spring, which I consider my New Year.

Some favorite quotes:

"Gardeners, I think, dream bigger dreams than Emperor's."

Mary Cantwell

"The earth laughs in flowers."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

And a little humor:

"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."

Jack Handey

"Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."

Mark Twain

An Afterthought

Surely someone will relate to this. I describe my style of gardening as Kamikaze gardening. I sometimes feel like the Tazmanian Devil as I zoom around the yard. This, of course, comes from trying to do everything in a very short timeframe. My goal is to use the kamikaze approach for the mundane chores, such as mowing, trimming, and clean-up; to aim for a more gentle approach to the layout and care of the actual inhabitants of this small space on our planet. I can't think of anything better for the soul than to dig in the dirt, getting your hands covered with it (no gloves for this!), planting a favorite rose, clematis, or that herb you've been trying to find forever, and watching the transformation take place!
