What are your Gardening Plans at the moment?

Hi jenny, I like gardening as well. Here the climate is almost the same all the year round. That is hot and humid. We need to water the plants at least twice a day during dry season. And we need not to water the plants in rainy day. Therefore only tropical plants can grow well and prosperously here. Other than some beautiful tropical flowers I love to grow some vegetable plants. I'm a lazy type of person so I pick flower and vegetable plants which are easy to take care to plant. They are flowers plants with succulent stems like what is in the attached photo. Yeah, I don't have to do the watering daily I plant long bean, lady's finger, sweet potato, maize, red pepper, etc. I hate weeding as the weeds grow tremendously fast. I'm tired of chasing after them daily. After I finish weeding here and there they grow thriftily again Have a nice day and happy posting

Here in the US it is winter. I just want spring to come and your waiting for cooler weather. I hate to see fall come because that means winter isn't far behind. I don't garden at all. I have a friend that tells me what is a weed and what is a flower. If it gets any type of flower on it, I think it's a flower. The only weed I am sure of is a dandelion.

I hope they got rid of the second copy of this, I waited a bit to see if they did remove the other one..it sees so. I've been pretty disappointed with my gardening efforts since I moved here. I'm no green thumb by any means and I tend to kill things usually from neglect but sometimes by too much care. Combine me with bore water that leaves a white crust around the edge of things, sandy loam instead of soil, deathly frosts and scorching summer heat, drought and winds. I've spent and lost a lot of money so far and I keep saying "No more" but I keep trying My tomatoes, cucumbers and capsicum were very disappointing. The punnets of 6 tomatoes did nothing. The singles went 50/50; the little tomatoes did ok but the big ones all rotted. ^ in a punnet of anything is too much for me, seeds are too much and single plants are too dear, especially when they cark it. I'd like to have another go at it but I just cannot afford to spend any more money. I still have a lemon tree that has had 3 fruit on it for nearly a year. It's the tree's 3rd year. I also have a navel orange that is more robust. It developed 12 fruit early last year and most of them are now a good size though still green. So my plans are to do nothing at this stage except to water and mow and mulch. I'd like to create a few garden beds with propagated plants but I have no idea really. This is where I miss having a guy, especially one who likes to potter in the garden.

you mean... go out side - where the bugs are? About the most I ever do is pull up a weed did more when I was younger, but not a whole lot

Currently waiting for the rain to stop and for the weather to warm up and then we have lots of weeds to deal with and possibly some planting to do...

Those lavender flowers are spectacularly beautiful! Did you know you can use lavender for flavoring in cookies and sweetbreads?

We're (USA) just getting ready to start spring...gardening/yardwork. I plan to start a garden this year using the 10 planters I bought two years ago. I also plan to plant a few more bushes and trees (my house is fairly new (2005)) in the part of the yard I haven't finished landscaping. I have very little yard and what I do have was planted in native grasses (buffalo grass, blue grama grass, sideoat, etc.). It's the only grass the dogs get to do their business. The rest of my yard is nature-scaped; that is, it's covered in rocks I pulled off my land and gravel pathways and native plants. Because of the heat (100-degree weather), all the plants are drought resistant and can tolerate full sunlight. This next week, I'll be weeding, pruning and preparing the planters for my garden.
