Schefflera aff. chapana
Well I had that similar feeling when I walked around the garden last weekend. It was another cold one but it was sunny at least and the promise of spring was definitely there, or perhaps a preview of it.At the moment I still don't know what approach to take with the garden this year, in the coming growing season. I feel that I need to reconnect with the rest of the garden again. For the last two years the remainder of the garden took second fiddle to the main priority which was the pond build. And now the pond build is almost over and I find myself having the time to think about the main garden again, more so than before. Perhaps to the same level as it was before the pond build.

The new area and old one will be one entity this year, level with each other. No first or second fiddle, they are now regarded together as a whole. Old and new area, they are both our gardens, it's just the new one has a big pond...Schefflera aff. myriocarpa
So I need to reconnect, I need some time to re tune myself to the welcome change of dynamics. And upon waking up from a winter gardening slumber I found myself facing the garden on a cold and sunny weekend and suddenly realizing, yes spring is almost here. But I'm still feeling groggy....Schefflera rhododendrifolia and Daphniphyllum pentandrum
Groggy from winter slumber, groggy from building a pond. But a great kind of groggy for I know once I fully woken up I will be refreshed.Trochododendron aralioides (Taiwan)

But I'm still lacking in ideas. They are there somewhere and I know I'll find them once I have fully woken up. First things first, clear the area and tidy up from the effects of winter and I may find that ideas will come in quicker and much easier once most of the clearing up has been done.Fatsia polycarpa
Time to wake up, time to have some coffee and carry on gardening.Mark :-)
