Thinking back to this year’s gardening season I recall it certainly had its ups and downs.

Some gardens took too long to come up and others were beaten down by hail.

Despite these challenges, I’m sure every gardener learned something from his or her 2009 gardening experience.

What gardening lesson did you learn this year?

Think about your 2009 garden…

• Did you try a new plant that performed well?
• Find a new planting or maintenance method that saved time or effort?
• Did you beat Mother Nature at her own game?
