How does your garden grow?

Post by mallosa »

Well it has to be done doesn't it?

I'd much rather be tackling mine, than doing housework, how about you?

Mine grows with silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row - just like Mary Mary's garden :wave:

I like gardening as well, but I would rather do housework than cooking!!

I'm with you, my garden is my therapy, just find it so therapeutic, growing my own flowers and veg. I'll never feed an army but I can try :lol:

I like keeping my garden tidy. The lawn,flowers in pots and vegetables tomatoes celery Morrocan Mint that sort of thing . Oh and my bar has to be maintained and used although lately i'm drinking more soft drinks. Never been a heavy drinker unless i go out out. I have trees around my garden 2 and a half meters high so they have to be pruned but i have sons in law who do it for me because according to my daughters i shouldn't climb a ladder. Which is ridiculous. Barb does Ken still get up a ladder? Me and Ken are the same age. He played in Goal for Tividale Comp and cricket for Accles and Pollock with my mate Peter and Barb was the Scorer. Haha sorry i'm digressing. Peter D has a nice garden i've seen it on Facebook.

not at the moment waiting for a new knee so limited with what i can do, the grass isn't real at the front, most of my flowers are in pots, and i grow veg on my garage wall but not done much this year
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

You know Rob, Ken does climb a ladder, but I have to keep shouting to him "WE LIVE IN A BUNGALOW NOW KEN HAD YOU FORGOTTEN?" and he replies "I wondered why my walking stick wasn't high enough to touch the floor" :crazy: :lol:
