Part of my enjoying life is loving Flowers...

I do like flowers, but I don't have a green thumb.

Hi there Moondancer I don't have a yard any more but I love Roses and when I did have a Garden that is what I had in it but I never had the time to work at it properly as I was working full time then and at weekends it was taken up with all the Housework washing and all that But I did love my Roses

We moved here two and a half years ago. It was not landscaped at all. I've been slowly creating my little garden oasis but it does take time. I "steal" cuttings from bushes and flowers that are growing wild or when I see masses of them where a cutting or two won't be noticed. If I see a particularly nice bush or tree, I'll see if I can find the owner and ask if I can have a cutting. I've just learned how to root cuttings and I've gone a little nuts with it. There was one boxwood bush here when we bought the place and I've rooted about 10 cuttings now and am planting them around where they will, hopefully, look nice. I also belong to a garden club called Dave's Garden (www.davesgarden.com). They have a forum (free) where you can trade seeds or plants or get them VERY cheaply from other members. I LOVE this site! It might help you, too. I've bought a few plants (perennials) and harvest the seeds each year so I can spread the plants out. I have tons of purple coneflowers and black-eyed susans now and have just started some poppies. We have 3 1/2 acres here so it's going to take some time but I'll get there. Oh, I'm also planting fruit and nut trees. I buy one, then take cuttings from that and make more trees. My peach trees have already produced fruit. I can't wait for the others to mature enough so that I can take a walk outside and just pig out. LOL Good luck to you!

Hi Moondancer, I only have a very small garden and I have three rose trees and one in the front of the house, I also have herbs plant, and trees also lots of various shrubs, so it is reall quite cozy in my garden, I hope you'll get your rose trees soon, love and hugs. Bright Blessings. Tamara

I love my garden but do not get he time to do a lot to it. I love puttering around pruning here and making plans. My garden is full of vegetables at the back and tropical flowers and trees. It gives me so much pleasure but is not the biggest of gardens.and I don't mind this either. I love being on my patio outside th house. My favourite place.

Did you say flowers? Oh, but I adore them. I like to be surrounded by flowers. I love roses too, especially the yellow ones. I have some marigolds, azaleas, carnation in spring but they don't survive the heat in summer. I would like to have a lot of bulbs like tulips and maybe some tropical plants. I have not yet tried them. My lawn is not too bad. My husband keeps it nice. I would like to have more flowers but he loves his lawn as well. So I have to put some of my flowers in pots. Do you plan to start growing herbs and spices? I have a chilli plant which is giving me fresh chillies nearly all year round. Thyme and basil are easy to grow as well.

you are so lucky that you have your own yard, but in my countried, it's impossible for our ordinary people to have so many lands, in my lived city, the land is very scared and have a very expensive price to have... i also love all the flowers and fruit tree, and i usually buy some small bonsai in my house and care for them, this is part of my part time, i like that, this can make me more happier and also can drive out the tired from my body.

Hello Moondancer. How are you ? I can already see the roses in your garden (in my mind's eye) from here ! Looks really beautiful and pleasant. I like roses, jasmine, lily, and all the colorful flowers. My garden is not that beautiful, to say the truth. But, I do have a very nice lawn where I can relax sitting on an easy chair in the weekends. Have a nice day !

Yes,I love flower's and plants..My favorites are roses.. I do not have any now..I have a few plants,house plants and miniature camillia plants that I keep on the back porch..They need a lot of sun and water..Sad to say I do not have a green thumb..I have to have plants that can take care of themselves. If I mess with them too much I manage to kill them..I do not like that because I do love plants and flowers so much..

Our yard were not yet sorted. We are waitng until next year to do i. But in front garden we hve two bushes of roses and some flowers and a tree on the corner. At the back garden, we just planted two apple trees. and we have a small lawn for my son to play.

Hey, Well my mother is the one that really enjoys flowers, and our front yard has got a huge range of flowers and roses and things like that. She is almost out in the back yard every day too, watering the flowers and watching them grow. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Ours is mostly greenery at the back, bushes and trees, but i have roses, and tats has given me some seeds to plant, for poppy, foxglove and lupins I have a patio, and tablr and chairs, pot plants and ornaments. I want another patio area, and we have the grills, ready to build our own BBQ. I love to sit out there, when it is warm, and eat out there.
