Pottering about in my garden can be very enjoyable

yes it will be great to get our and do gardening yesterday some people planted a bush in my yard for plant a tree day and it was great and the nice thing is the tree or bush was free all I have to do is water it 2 times a week have a great time when your able to get outside and enjoy the days of sun and great colors that come from it

I would like to get our plants growing but it is still getting frosty at night. Hope to get them in about mid May.

I love gardening, it's supposed to be great if you have depression, I find it so satisfying and you can achieve a lot, it's still a bit too early to sow my seeds, but I have already been out there digging my veggie plot ready for them, we had some great weather for a few days, and today's back to April Showers again, so hopefully early May I can get planting. No matter what weather we get the grass soon grows so quickly. Hand push mowers I hate, they are too much effort, so much better with a flymo, saves your back too.

I only have a container garden, but this year I hope to have a boxed garden put in close to the house and put some vegetables inside it so I can have something to eat without having to worry about pesticides from the food in the grocers. It will also make the space that I use the lawnmower much shorter. I was thinking of having a greenhouse, but right now that is too expensive.

I also love to potter about in my garden adn I currently have 2 weeks off work with a few days out planned but, other than that, my ideal is to get a lot og relaxing time with some spent in the garden potting my tubs etc. So I too hope to get some nice warm, sunny days that I can make the most of.

Yeah, gardening is a great hobby. It is very relaxing as you are with green plants and beautiful flowers. I remember when I was still a kid, I used to help my grannies to do her landscaping at the front of our house when we were still living with her at the old house. I guess that's the best bonding ever the two of us.

the weather has changed recently here and suddenly the weather is lovely. I've been doing so much weeding that my hand aches!

Send pictures of your garden, Maxine. Mow I`m planting my winter crop. The chards are thriving (good for them because I discovered yesterday thay they did wonders for hair). I also have arugule (I`m already eating them) and lettuce. I`ll need patience with the lettuce, but as it is sunny yet, maybe they will grow fast.

We too are waiting for the weather to get warm enough to plant outside. It sounds like you have some lovely trees and bushes in your back garden. I'm sure your son will enjoy being outside in the garden. We planted a rhododendron bush in our front yard in 2011. It did not bloom last spring. This year it has several pink buds on it. So, it looks like it will have beautiful blossoms this year. I heard that pine needles were good for the soil around a rhododendron so we put a lot of them in the hole we dug when we planted the bush. We will also plant some flowers, herbs and vegetables. I'm not sure what flowers we will plant yet, but we will plant parsley, tomatoes, green peppers and other herbs and vegetables. I can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer. It has been so cold here this winter and so far this spring. It bothers me when it gets very hot and humid, but I do like it when the temperature is below 80 and it is not humid.

I agree it is such a wonderful thing if you have a garden and are able to work in it. The sun and the new green is so soothing to the spirit. I always feel so peaceful when I have been working in the garden. I also love the planning, the looking forward to planting and then to see what came out and grew nicely and what can be harvested. A garden is full of surprises there is always something new to see. I am always so proud when I had a good harvest, when people like the flowers blooming there and when I got through the whole garden weeding it and there is time to relax and sit in the sun.- Hope your summer house turns out to be really nice. Happy gardening

I used to have my own garden when we were still staying on our former house in the other province. Actually, when we transferred to our present place, I brought with me my plants but due to the place, I guess and not having enough time to take care of those, the plants were all gone. I am hoping to find a good place to live where I can maintain a garden again. It's good to know that you have your own garden. I often heard other people said that people who are fond of gardening the most patient and the are very kind people. have a great day!

I love to garden as well and have flowers and plant son my porch. My problem is they get going and I kill them. No green thumb here.
