I really enjoy this time of year. Usually the sun is shining - this year Busselton's weather is an exception - and I can get on with some gardening projects over my break. This year's a little different as I've had time to ponder my goals for my garden for 2006.

I had two friends, at different times during the day, drop in and go gooey over the garden and I'm thinking "What are they seeing that I don't?" I look at my garden at the moment and see all the jobs I should be doing or need to be done in the future and it's easy to get a little despondent.

So to break out of my self-induced gardening depression I cancelled the pity party and began looking at what I wanted to achieve at the end of this year. It was very enthusing.
