Resolution to take a photo my garden based on first day of month and use it as avatar for that month. Will keep my hand in on saving etc , and will be good to look back on as will save them in a file with a bit of luck
Also to make sure I keep labels up to date, last year had some plants muddled up with colours, wrong when they flowered.
My New Year's Resolution is the same as the last twenty have been - just to enjoy it all. No need to worry about space for the children to play or prickly plants or even whether they are poisonous. I can experiment to my heart's content.
Lovely to read all your resolutions for 2013 but I think happymarion takes first prize....the rest of you are excellent runners up tho'
I have the seed packets from last year on hand and the new seed catalogues but somehow with these sodden days and early evenings I cannot quite get motivated yet. Does anyone else have this problem?
I will echo your sentiment Marion, lets enjoy our gardens though can we have more sun this time around please? ! One resolution I have is to thin the apples on my trees so that I have better sized fruit. I find this very difficult.
daydaisy, why do you find it difficult to thin the apples on your trees? I fought against it for a while then decided that if the powers that be say it is a good thing to do I had better do it!
Some good reolutions up here. Well...I think mine will be not to clean in the garden as usually removing every fallen leave etc...add more nice objects to the garden, gargoyles and animals (tasteful animals lol) and work out how to have a water feature for more wildlife. Oh, and try and keep the local kids from using it as a path. Little darlings :??
Sam, sounds lovely what you plan to do. I agree fallen leaves are rather a waste of energy unless they are on a path in which case I do try to clear them as I don't want to fall over!
Citygardener...have you been on the seed swap thread? If you have spare seeds and your looking for something...put what you have up and ask. Someone will have something of interest. I have spent the day in the greenhouse sowing some i got with swapping and a few more. Veg and flowers. Cauli, foxglove, verbena, mugwort,lemon balm, sweetpeas and passionflower

I found the discount pffered by some firms was my motivation just before Christmas
I agree Happymarion seems to have the right balance
