Habit #6 was good for me because I have a hard time distinquishing between “doing” and “being” in the garden! there are days when I have nothing to leave my home for and go out to the garden and when I do think to check the time, I find I’ve been there for most of the day and I’ve basically been doing the chores. So this year I will try to do my chores as they happenand and I’ve learned the 108 moves of the art of Tai Chi and I plan to due this every morning in my garden! ahhhh Bliss!

I just arrived here through the link on Cameron’s blog. This is an excellent summary of what is needed to be a successful gardener!
Reminding us to also enjoy and just “be” in the garden is so important.

Debra — this is an awesome post! I would like to spread the word about your 7 habits article with my blog readers. Okay if I “Share This” with my readers?

I am really enjoying your book, “Stylish Sheds” — but, I have trouble getting it away from my husband! Thanks to Helen (we had a wonderful time chatting over coffee the other day).

Happy New Year, Debra. May your days ahead be filled with blessings untold. I am sending this link to my friend, Wanda, who is a transplant in WA. She’s doing fine, but your book will make her happy.~~Dee

Hi, Debra- If there was room for one more “rule” it would be to know your limit. Whether time or money- it is frustrating to stop before a piece of the vision was complete or done being maintained.
Looking at the weather channel- I would say your new home in Southern California gets the award for temperate weather over the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful article! I really enjoyed it. As a teacher myself and longtime follower of Mary Robson, I relate thoroughly to the “7 Habits” method for teaching gardening techniques and methods. I use a similar system for most of the class outlines that I write.
Beginners and advanced gardeners alike can get great bits of info from this list!
Best regards,
