Badseed,
I know I am a liitle behind on this thread, I just found it and it has certianly made me smile. 4 years ago we did the exact same thing you are doing. Found a wonderful 5 acres in the country. I spend most days outside working in the gardens. then the evening planning what I can do next, my husband is going insane.
The best advice I have read here is from Ivy1... It is the perfect plan... why didn't I think of that. It sure would save time in the long-run. I have several garden spots and the biggest dissapointment (if you can call any garden a disappointment) is that it is all flat, Flat does nothing to enhance a garden. This fall I am digging up, building up and replanting one of my favorite beds. It is gorgeous but is so flat you cannot enjoy all the treasures planted there. So in a way I am "starting over", but just a little at a time.
Good luck to you, I can say I have loved every second we are out here. Never an idol moment.
