Longer term

We seem to be in a holding pattern year. We personally won’t be making any improvements to the townhouse gardens due to the uncertainty on the schedule for the new roof project. First things first. So this year my focus is normal maintenance only. But longer term the landscaping outside the homes that weren’t refreshed two years ago is pending refresh. Rock replacement, trim re-levelling, things like that. I am torn. Should I plan for a more cookie cutter look at the townhouse going forward? Remove a lot of the unique look – bring it elsewhere? We are not in an optimal world right now. Labor was an issue last year, for sure. The garden refresh could be pushed off for even more than a year. So what to do in 2022? Hey, that rhymes 😉

Nothing, for now. Until more is known. Keep enjoying the “little things” – the hostas and daylilies and sedum that make it through the construction, and the planning of things we CAN do. Maybe more up north. Once that snow melts and the ground thaws we can assess those options.

For now, just getting past continual snow and massive winds would be a great start.

Here’s what the garden progression looks like right now. A few things poking up through the ice and snow from our last wave of winter hanging on.

We wait 😉
