Do you have a nice garden?

September 5, 2010 9:23am CST
Do you have a nice garden? What is it that makes your garden so special? I know that having a garden is in itself great but a lot of it is how it is planned out. For years our garden has sort of just been there and nothing done with it. I was talking about it to the family and said how my dream garden would be and I am so lucky that they said that was so easy to do. I wanted a shed so that things could be put in that instead of hoarding up the house, grass, a tiny wall and patio where we could sit and talk outside. Today my dream is complete. I cannot believe how wonderful it looks. Now I just want some wonderful weather and all is perfect.

I love my garden, it is my haven! I have the back against that actually backs onto the Lancaster Canal as a type of old Enmglish country garde with old fashioned flowers like foxglove,honesty, wallflowers etc - it really encourages the bees and butterflies. I also have some more formal plots of flowers, some vegertables, strawberry plants and herbs and my pear tree and raspberry bushes. I have a wild bird feeding centre for the many different types of birds we get, a hedgehog house where the wild hedgehogs come to feed, then on the otherside we have our pool. I am very lucky and very happy with my garden, even though I musy go and cut my lawn!!

I have a dream of owning a house that has a large yard that could be made gardens that produce vegetables or fruits, but currently only has a small yard planted with flowers slightly smaller

I seem to have difficulty having a nice garden for the past few years, i can't seem to find a way to keep the animals from disturbing it. My flower gardens do seem to fair better than my vegetables, Still, the animals seem to find their way.

I wasnt able to plant a garden this year, because it was so hot. I hope to have something next year. I have had some good gardens in the past, and have enjoyed the fruits of my labors.

Sounds good that you and ur family did something great to the garden, I think thats importent because you see it everyday. I only have a really small garden outsiden our house and I have not done much with it. But my dad often spend his time to fix the garden and always alot of changes.

Part of my garden in 2005 - This is how my garden looked in October, some years ago. I have been working all winter to get seedlings to make this beauty happen agian. Most of my plants are hardy, so it willnot be so much work.
I have a garden that has its ups and downs depending on how I feel and what has been happening in my life. I had it beautiful a couple of years ago until Lola, my German Shepheard friend, came to live in my home. She was a puppy so destroyed a lot before I separated one part for me and one for her. I tried to put it together again but then my mom was sick and I could not tent to it in the Summer. Now I´m atarting again. I bought lumber to make raised beds to have a veggie garden. I also picked seeds and seedlings from the weedy garden and will plant again. Octobewr is the best month for blossoms in my country. I hope they grow by then.

I have always wanted to have a garden, but I don't have much of a green thumb. I wish I did though. I would love to be able to grow my own veggies. Maybe I will try again. I am glad that your garden has turned out so well. What types of plants are you growing? Congrats!

[b]Lucky are those people who have their own house with some free space on some side of their house which they use it as a garden. Very less people have this opportunity of having a garden which is full of green grass and the flower trees adds beauty to their place. I just have dream to own such heart touching house but it is left as a dream till now .[/b]

So nice and good for you. I have always wanted to have a personal garden but land is so limited in my country that one will have to pay a premium just for a small plot of land.

Sometime when I was a boy, I had a good habit in planting vegetables, trees, plants, and herbs. That was since I was in the province nut as I graduated in College and now working in the city, there's no more time and space on doing such things. But still I am dreaming that one day I will have a very beatiful garden.

I have a dream that I will own a very beautiful garden someda! Hehehe. I love to own a house with a garden, I think the home is more heavenly and comfy when there is a garden (especially a flowery one) attached to it. As for now, I do not have a large lot and my simple house is just located in a economical sized land. But I really would love to own a house and a garden in the future. As for now, I just play Farmville and Garden Life in Facebook. Lolz.
