After the last few weeks’ flurry of activity, this rainy week was really boring. But I did sit down to make a plan for what plants might go where, and I got really carried away.

I made this in, erm, PowerPoint and currently have maxed out the program’s ability to handle that many images, and am moving it over to Gimp (a free Photoshop-like program). (Yes, I realize I should’ve started there.) It’s way too much fun.

I want to make a template of all the plant icons, to scale, that’s sharable, so we can all plan out our new gardens. I’ll keep you posted.
