I do love getting out and pruning/cutting grass/digging etc. I find it a great stress reliever and you can actually see where you've been. Unfortunately, I lost most of my back garden, including vegetable plot to the dog which my husband brought home about 5 years ago and I dont have as much scope for creativity at the front of the house. Also, finances have limited the addition of new plants recently. At the moment, I have raspberry canes, blackcurrant bushes and rhubarb at the back, with potatoes in containers. I had a major pruning session on the shrubs and bushes at the front of the house yesterday and completely filled the recycling bin. Just as well since we have the rain back again today.

In my backyard, I put in a fruit & vegetable garden where I have grown, Corn, Tomato, cucumbers, Peppers, Squash, all the spices I use for cooking, Watermelon, cantelope. Needless to say I love being outside and working in the gradent

oh yes I love gardening but am now in a retirement center when we had our own home we had a large flower garden and a veggie garden too. I also had a shade gardenwith camellias, fuschias, and Gardenias too plus large tree ferns it was so pretty and how I do miss those days. I love to garden, to hoe and weed, and cultivate'the soil. oh and how good fresh home grown veggies are' specially those ripe tomatoes, watermelons, and strawberries, it makes me hungry and makes me want to cry. I did so love gardening and now here I am away from all that.

I to enjoy planting & gardening. I have planted everything from flowers to a full blown-out garden at my home. I enjoy landscaping it as well and then arranging my flower plantings so that they alternate when they come up. This way I continually have something beautiful to look at. Of course, now it is time for summer to be coming to an end so there won't be a whole lot a beauty to look at other than the cold cold snow outside the windows. Can't wait for next summer already.

I was never too big on gardening until DH got seriously ill and I found myself in the position of having to do the gardening. Now, I wouldn't do without it. It's such great exercise and such a great stress reliever that I absolutely love it. My yard is aleady landscaped so I don't do a lot of new planting. When I was growing up, I always had a vegetable garden and all of these years later, I never had one until this summer. I forgot how much I loved to have a garden and to pick all of the fresh vegetables for the dinner table. I planted carrots, radishes, onions, tomatoes, zucchini and green beans. I also reserved a spot to grow herbs. I love going out ot my garden and clipping fresh herbs to use in our evening meal.

I like gardening bit I don't like gardening, the reason why I like is the outcome will give me motivation to keep working on it. But these day the weather is too bad where I live... the hot weather won't remain long and it keeps rainning... when the sun is not enough and the temperature doens't stay warm enough... gardening is no good, flowers ar enot gorwing great, no veggies... it is so discouraging...

I always love to see a beautiful garden. :0 I would love to answer "yes" to your question but I can't. I have a small garden-like part in the house where we are staying right now. I always wish of a day where I can go over and work and plant some. But I really can't find a time to do it. Gardening has been a regular sight at home where I grew up because my parents love gardening. My family experienced eating much love vegetables coming straight from our garden and I wish its possible for me to do that. I guess now is not yet the time.

hello rlaknar, Gardening is one of a lot of my hobbies. Because my home is very small and only have 9 square meters for garden, I only planting a small plant too. I have a lot of variant of sansevieria. I have several adenium and bonsai. I have small cactus too. That is very beautiful and make my little home come green.

I do love gardening, I love ornamental plants, they are very passionating and very cool in the eyes of each and everyone, i love flowering plants in my garden. I love also to plants vegetables like eggplant, mustard, pechay, raddish, tomatoes, okra, and many other vegetable. We need to think of work that will help us in budgeting our money so instead of going outside in your free time you can go gardening and plant some vegetables that will help you shorten your budget, and its sure to be very healthy and clean since you are the one who plant it. You can save money out of it and save time also. Good luck /

I love gardening too. But unfortunately i don't have a place to garden as i stay in an apartment and have a toddler at home - which means no plant inside the house too :( But i'm sure that i'll one day own a house where i will dedicate a plot of land for gardening. It gives a sense if satisfaction and i think it is a productive timepass too :)

Gardening is the best hobby anyone can have at any age. I love gardening but as i stay in an apartment i have planted just some flowers which i water daily. I really feel very happy when i see the flowers bloom. Earlier we used to stay in quarters provided by the office and had enough of place to do gardening. Both myself and husband used to plant all sorts of vegetables and were very happy with the recreation. The plants used to give abundance of vegetables due to the love and care,and the vegetables were distributed among our neighbours.

I like to see many trees and flowers in my yard. It's beautiful and it makes the air fresh in the afternoon. Furthermore, many butterflies and dragonfly come and it makes my yard beautiful! I like to plant flowers like roses, chrysan and dahlia,, and fruit trees, like orange or mango in my backyard. When the fruits come, my family pick and eat it together. But I just watering and give fertilizer to trees and all the plants, but I don't like to plant it inside the soil, because I'm afraid of worm and it's dirty..
