Parking space or flowers?

Flowers! Flowers! Flowers! Who would want a parking lot and not a garden? Take a broom and hit him on the head. That should wake him up :)

awwww keep the flowers my friend, we need more of it plus it adds beauty to the place!

Please don't move the flowers, plants and flowers are natures gift we need that to clear the air. It is like killing someone if you moved it out. You already had a parking lot which is for your car, so I think it's your visitors problem where they will park their car. I don't have cars but I do have a dooryard with lots of flowers too I invested too much to have a small garden with lots of flowers, my friends who came to visit that has cars park their car on the lot.

Hi, Porcospino, I'm voting also for the flowers. I've lived in a house with a yard for about ten years. The garden was neglected when I went there and I had no time to take a proper care of it. But we had lilacs and grass and a beautiful Glycinia. Nothing could compare with this. Your friends could take this little walk, it'll do a good to them. If you remove the flowers your front yard will become a parking lot. I hope that your husband will listen to you :))

Oh i love the flowers around to give us oxygen support the air,and the beauty around.The man are not most like the flowers and woman are the most like that and even me i want the house surround..

I will go for the flowers. I love gardening and I have a lot of flowers and plants in my garden and I don't clear them at any cost becuase I love. They are as my sisters and my brothers and how can I kill my sister and brother. For me I give more importance for my flowers than to fin a parking place and I will never allow any one to do this in my home.

In our front yard there is green grass I have 5 rose bushes along the front side of our house. Some of the roses are red yelloe pink and white. I have a large driveway. 4 cars can park in it. There is also parking in front of our house in the street.It would take a person parking in the street a half a minute to be at our front door. I would not give up my flowers tell your hubby that you want your flower beds.your friends can park in the parking lot. thats what I would do... good luck.....

i would prefer to keep the flowers. it's keeping nature around your house. it accents your house with nature's beauty. your guest don't live at your house, they will only be there sometimes. why change up the beauty of your house just for guest. you have to make your home comfortable for you.

We got quite a big area here so it is not much of a problem. Our garage can accommodate 6 cars and we still got a yard. The yard got fruit trees and flowers but no grass since grasses can't grow because the area is shaded. When our friends would come over we can also park the cars outside without any problem. i guess we are just blessed to have a large area. In your case, I think it would still be very nice to retain the flowers there. It would give more beauty to your place and would feel very homey. Just try to convince your husband about this. Unless, he would prefer it to become a parking area for safety purposes. But if there isn't much of a problem parking outside then you shouldn't take out all those flowers. Just be calm when you speak to him.

Hi, Life has become a way of convenience, the more we have the less we got. Not very long ago when we got the first car we would be happy to park it anywhere because there were no driveways. Then we got a garage into our house for our only family car. Now we have a car for every member along with a SUV and suddenly our terrace and garden vanishes under the canopy of car hoods. Now every guest would prefer a drive-in while going on a visit to their neighborhood. This is only one part of the story. The other part unfolds in some Rotary or Lions meet uptown, where we wax eloquent about Global warming and the need to do something about it post haste amidst animated hand claps and we also throw in some vague terms like offsetting or leaving carbon footprints for the future generations so that Siberia does not occupy our living room. KUDOS. Dear lady, if only you could convince your dearest hubby that with every flowering plant we destroy, we are actually contributing to the global warmth and along with every car we park in the place of the flowerbeds we are actually increasing the carbon footprint whereas with every flowerbed planted we are offsetting the carbon footprint. Maybe if you could convince him then the next Rotarian or Lions club meet would find a new host and a new venue, you and your home, in that order. ALL THE BEST, and God bless.

Hi porcospino Flowers definitely. friends can park their cars at the lot if you have that. Here it is not a problem today but in the near future, it will be a problem. But I have my reasons to opt for the flowers - They are better and environment friendly, dont pollute, and most essential - they refresh me even when the friends cannot. They also add to the beauty of the house and also are considered a little more posh on this part of the world. Moreover, if I had those flowers, I would have cared for them like I would have cared for my children and even pets.(Right, I do not have any is beyond the discussion right now). And not providing friends with enough parking space I can also ask them to avoid car travel - or even share the trips like they bring cars in turns. And still if they have a problem (as I see on this discussion, it is not them complaining but hubby being more friendlier). The logic that I will have space for 4 cars will be void and useless if there were more friends invited/visiting and all decided to bring their own car! You cannot provide everything for everyone is the base idea of my thinking here.

I agree to keep the flowers too, since all pebbles just doesn't look that nice. Our garden is filled with all types of plants- half of them are flower bearing and the other half is vegetables.

As there IS a parking lot nearby, I'd opt for the flowers, because they make us happy and bring some joy to the overly industrialized world, in my opinion.

hi In my view if you remove the flowers you are basically killing yourself. We all need flowers and trees to live because they provide us with the oxygen needed to live and they get rid of the carbon dioxide in the air so they also stop global warming. I also dont see the problem with walking for 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to your house it not that far to walk. Blessed you be

Try to explain to your husband. you'll live with the yard everyday. But your friends will go then turn back. They only visit you some times. So you should keep flowers.

Hi Porcospino, I choose to save those flowers. Those cars can park any where, they can be moved without being destroyed. I lived in a rural area where there a lot of trees and flowering plants. There is fresh air and a lot of butterflies. It's really nice to be in a place where I can be free and relax. But I would like to make some changes - plant more trees and flowering plants.
