As you can image, I work every year to keep this garden lush. It's difficult because there is hardly any light and major plants have kept dying after being in the ground only one year. I've been trimmng the trees back and branches over the years but it is a constant battle struggle to get some sun. There were a couple of summers while I was still sick and then the financial meltdown struck. Last fall I did days of pruning hundreds of feet of thick wisteria vines and dug out spreading grasses taking over some area.
The whole project was overwhelming as I was feeling very weak and there was an overwheming amount of garden jobs I wish I could have done or paid someone else to do.
Right now after the recent frequent snowstorms there is a tremendous amount of damage to trees and debris that would fill a couple of trucks. The cost of having our long driveway plowed from five snowstorms could better have been spent to purchase a great new computer. At least it gave someone a job. And we have not been destroyed by an earthquake. Poor Haitians. Poor Chilians.
Getting back to the Feng Shue wealth corner of my garden, I will have to start shopping for shade loving blue and purple flowers and maybe a fresh windchime to get the wealth energies generating, Opening the pond back up with the waterfall turned on will boost those energies too. Will have to do my Feng Shui energy rituals so there is something to look forward too. The gloomy dark days this past month have indeed taken a toll on me. I want to take care of myself and I want to take care of my garden trusting that everything we need will be provided. Believing in Feng Shui is crucial in its magical work.
Maybe I should go to the Philadelphia Flower Show?
