Time to get back to work. Every year it's like clockwork. The first day after Christmas, the landscaping rush begins. It starts slowly, builds momentum through July, and then starts to taper back off again.

It's not surprising that folks around here start thinking landscaping in the dead of Winter. Christmas day I was in shorts, short sleeve shirt, and was washing my new Dodge Christmas present to myself.

The Landscape Design Site is always a good indicator of how the year is going to go. It too starts to pick up directly after Christmas. Subscribers to the newsletter go from 6 to 10 a day to 20 or 30 a day and will peak around 70 to 120 a day in July.

I'm looking foreward to another great year as we are planning to purchase a larger piece of property and install a second greenhouse.
