Whether its starting seeds, creating something, etc, I have to have a project to work on. Just grading papers and staring out the window all winter is a recipe for insanity. <br /><br />But this is also a great time to revisit garden problems when I have the time to analyze the situation without the emotional panic of wanting to fix it NOW so it will all look better NOW. I think I've finally figured out why my container garden is the pits and have a plan in place for this summer. I devised the first part of the plan last summer but puzzled out the last piece this winter so I'm excited/satisfied to try out my ideas.

Frankly, the chipmunks and squirrels in my garden tend to pull them out of the ground and the weather wears away the writing. I need to get some metal, indestructible stakes.
