promising day in store....

ok, so....my pains, though numerous, appear to have passed....and i am planning to return to the garden after work....still have 2/3 of the expanded bed to clear, and then i can begin to accumulate plants to fill up the space....i have a few roses in mind...some own-root varieties that are harder to kill in bad weather.....and i am looking into some other perennials that have not done well in shadier beds......i am invigorated by the promise of spring.....
