The Winter Garden
Using your Microclimates
Winter Sun Spot
In designing your landscape don't forget to think about a winter sunbathing spot. You will probably need more than one so you can move from your morning recliner to your afternoon recliner as the sun moves. Your spot needs to be against a south wall or fence for good heat radiation. Get your down jacket and your baseball cap or visor to keep the sun out of your eyes. Settle in to your recliner, wooden bench or even a dry patch of decomposed granite and enjoy a good nap. Importantly, make these places private. This is a peaceful refuge, a holy place for religious experiences, a place for soothing hangovers and hiding from family responsibilities. Also if your neighbor sees you stretched out on the ground they may think you are dead or injured and you don't want to wake up to some dude administering CPR on you.
