I had a visit to Lowe's yesterday which made me wax a bit nostalgic over my first house. Over the course of a few years, I changed every lock and hinge as well as a variety of other items like electrical outlet and light switch covers. (It only takes installing a hinge backwards one time to make you check it twice. Outlet covers? I hope I don't need to remind you to check those twice.)
More than the changes on the inside, the backyard had a radical transformation over the course of the four years I was there. The book that gave me the probability of whether that fern would die: The Book of Outdoor Gardening published by Smith & Hawken. I was surprised to find that a few copies of this book are still available and the paperback version is a cheap as a flat of pansies.
Do you have a favorite garden reference book? Spring is nearly official so good luck planting something new.
