Gardening and planting?

Anyone's into gardening here? I love it. I'm growing a vegetable, fruit and flower backyard of my own, taking pleasure in harvesting the fruits of my own labor. It's an immense joy for me to work the soil, to water the plants and etc, even to mow the lawn. I love admiring my own handiwork. Do you like it too? Plus, it's very good exercise for me.

I wouldn't know a Plant from a Weed lol ,, well I know the odd plant or weed but I couldn't tell you what kind of Plant or Flower it was apart from the obvious ones

All I can grow is weeds.

I love gardening, it's because I've been helping my Dad since I was really little. I mainly grow flowers though. It's really great to see them grow and bloom.

I like gardening, but mostly in the spring when we start digging out our potatoes from bins that have over-wintered, and planting tomato plants out from the greenhouse once the frosts have gone. We grow a lot of fruit and veg. Its flavour is wonderful. Our front and rear garden has roses, hollyhocks and creeping clematis. A rear plot of land came up for sale and mum bought it, and at a price before land prices in London got silly. I'm glad she did for now there are apples and pears, and a victoria plum tree and to one side, wild flowers that encourage bees and butterflies. We have a bay tree. Big, though bays are good pollinators, I think it'll have to be pruned this year. Out in the back it's lovelky and quiet even when London is busy. Must be the trees and hedges keeping the sound away.

I plan on getting into growing flowers this spring

I like flowers a lot. I'm more interested in growing flowers than growing fruits and veggies. I want something thats pretty and adorable to look at ^_^ ...Rather than something to feed myself with

My grandfather and I used to grow tomatoes in our backyard. But when he passed away we covered the garden patch with grass because everyone in my family except for me didn't want to grow them anymore.

We've had a garden for years but decided to plant grass this year. Just would rather spend our time doing something else. No joy in it anymore. Not sure if it has to do with hubby's mom passing away this year or what.

I just enjoy working outside during any time of the year except winter season. Except cut the grass and our bushes. My dad hired a professional to do that after my grandfather passed away.

Love gardening.
I grew up watching my mom, my closest aunt and my grandfather tend their garden. I live in the city but recently moved in a small flat with a terrace. I created gardening journal and bought pots and flowers before buying new furnitures ))
I think there’s no equal feeling to the one you have when you harvest fruits or vegetables you patiently cared, or when the flowers you planted finally blossom.
