Tis' the first day of spring!

Obviously I have high hopes,  The last week has been spent buying fertilizer, soil amendments and gardening tools while hoping the weather starts warming up the ground

Climbing rose Felicite et Perpetue at Sissinghurst in June

My ideal

A castle estate found in ruins and restored brick by brick mainly as a display for newly laid out gardens.  Is that too much too ask?  It's early December and I am already in mourning for my garden until spring.  Time to break out the gardening catalogs and maybe yet again reread Sissinghurst, Portrait of a Garden.
