Do you like to have garden around your house? Do you have one?  

WE have a very small garden. We planted some tomatoes, green onions and leaf lettuce. the green onions did very well and so did the leaf lettuce. Our tomatoes did not do so well due to all of the rain we had. I do not mind working in it either.

Oh I love to but our present house has no space for gardens, it's cemented all around. I have to hang my orchids at the fence. The next time we get a house I will see to it that there would be enough space at the sides for the flowering plants and at the back for the vergetable garden. Good for you, Nice to see plants around and enjoy harvesting and cooking as well. Wish I could have next time.

I've always loved having lots of flowers .Since we live by the beach in Mexico it's hard to learn what grows and what don't. The sand and very little rain and the salt water spray from the ocean make it hard for things to grow .
We have 12 big palm trees and I use the coconuts to trim my flower beds with .
Fruit trees grow well here and I plan to plant a banana tree and lime tree this winter . Winter's here are perfect to be outside .. Summers are just too hot to be working in the yard much.

When I have my own house I will make sure that I should have a garden infront of it. However, currently since I am staying in a building I can hardly have plants in pots. I have planted 3 plants which are all flowering.

Along with that I have planted curry leaves which we Indians use in curries for making it more spicy and tasty.

I have vegetable gardens, as well as flower gardens. I used to do huge gardens, enough to put up (freeze or can) and have for during the winter too. Now I have a much smaller garden (blame that on advancing age lol) For veggies, I have sweet corn, herbs & mints, garlic, cutting tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, peppers and zucchini. Our spring around here was really a wet and cold one, so I lost lots of other plants. I'll plant twice when that happens, but not three times! So, this year I'll just have to be happy with what I have. I lost lettuce, my beans, cucumbers, as well as some other stuff. Ah well, there's always next year! At least all my flowering gardens are doing well!!

We would love to have a garden around our house if we had a house, but we don't have a house. We have a little apartment in the basement, and we have one plant in here, since it doesn't get enough light to have a lot of them. LOL We have an aloe vera plant on our book shelf. There is a little flower bed out front we can sit by in the summertime.

I also love to garden and have a nice size yard. Every year we add to our garden with new perennials. We have rhodendron (however you spell that, lol), butterfly bushes, columbines, roses, lillies, lavendar, bleeding hearts, clematis, lillies of the valley, grapes, a fig tree, japanese willow tree, dogwood tree, tomatoes, strawberries etc. I love to dig in the dirt and see the beautiful plants that grow from all the hard work.

I would LOVE to have a garden,I really miss having one. I currently live in an apartment which has no grounds at all outside, I just have some herbs I am growing in a pot!

When I was young my Dad had a big vegetable garden and my brother and I each had a patch to grow things in. Dad still grows things at home now and is getting ever more adventurous, I hear!

We have to move in February so I am hoping we get somewhere this time which has a bit of a garden!

Hello Buchi_bulla. I would like to have a garden around my house, but I don't have one because mine is an apartment on the seventh floor. If I buy a villa, then it is possible to have one garden for planting something we like. It is lucky of you to have such a place with a nice garden, friend. I wish you to enjoy it. Take care.

I am an English woman relocated to America I would be lost without a garden. For me it is flowers first and a few vegetables as a mere after thought. We have almost an acre surrounding the house which was wood and lawn when I arrived and is now, much to my DH's delight wood and flowers beds. My aim here in Ohio is to get a garden flowering for the maximum weeks of the year and to this end before I came onto mylot I was looking at buying aconites and snowdrops to have flowers in January or February. Nothing amuses the neighbour more than telling my hubby I am "playing in the dirt again".
