it occurred to me the other day that i have no "grand plan" for my garden,
and i should perhaps therefore stop doing new things until i've thought of
one. but having said that, i'm not good at thinking of things which don't
exist yet, so i'm not quite sure what to do!! i don't object to the basic
layout, but then, maybe that's only because i can't think of anything
better!

is your garden all carefully planned? or would you rather just work with
what is already there? is it perhaps easier and better to think up small
changes as you go, in order to develop a bigger picture of how you would
like it to be? my original idea (cough) was to have "garden rooms" & all of
this, but now i can do that, i can't imagine where to begin!

i think though at this point, after 5 months residence, it's probably a good
idea to stop & take stock over winter. i spent the spring/summer getting the
veggies etc going, putting in as many annual flowers, flowering
ground-covers, & other cheering things in small patches as i could, chopping
down inappropriately-located trees & planting appropriate trees, etc, &
thinking about where i am going with this. but as i said, i can't think up
things which aren't there, so i've reached a standstill. maybe best for now
to work on the beds which are there while i think about things.

any ideas or advice? how do you do things at your place?
thanks!
