Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 To all of you avid gardeners, I haven't done anything this year and probably won't - last year I did a little. So my family was asking if I was going to plant flowers and I said no, I'm too busy watching the neighbor's beautiful yard grow while I'm sitting on the couch! Keep telling us about them - I have a beautiful picture in my mind and can just smell the sweetness... Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get better food, and a > little bit of exercise to boot. I really should but I don't. We live in Houston so winters are mild and summers are brutally hot. My mom had an incredible crop of watermelons a few years ago. She is an avid gardener. The kids would have a ball if we could grow some watermelons. Hmmmm... maybe your motivating me to start small.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Mmm...nothing taste better than a home grown vine ripened tomato! I grew three plants a couple of years ago, along with some chili peppers, habenero peppers, bell peppers, corn, potatoes, onions, strawberries, cucumbers, zucchini and mint. It was wonderful! The following year I planted when "they" said it was ok and we got a freak freeze, killed it all. Replanted and you got it, another freak freeze. Since then, we moved and the ground is not good for planting, so a friend built me a raised box for a few plants. I haven't had a chance to try it because of our freaky weather. Maybe this year will be better for it. Shaw L. Goal for now is to get to where the scale can read my weight! Nevada JLambsr@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I've pretty much given up any thought of doing any type of 'getting on the ground type of gardening'. At least for now. Everything I have going right now is in huge pots and its working for me. I'm finding it even hard to get out and prune roses. SO much so that I am having Bob tear out all the roses I have in the front yard. Yea, I threw in the towel on those I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
