Do you have your own small garden?

That has to be awesome to have your own orange garden! And it's really cool how it has helped you bring more positives into your life and get rid of some of the negatives! That is so good. Just wait until you start eating (and selling) some of those oranges!Too bad you cannot ship us some!

oldsix, That sounds like a lovely garden. I think we had a small garden in our yard when I was growing up, but we didn't have much luck with anything but potatoes. Other than that, we didn't have enough fertilizer or something because nothing else grew. I hope you get lots of oranges. I love oranges!

You have an orange grove. Congratulations! You are making wise choices. I love oranges but cannot grow them in our yard, as it gets too cold most winters. We do have a small plot where we grow a few vegetables. I planted 77 onion sets today and will set out tomato and bell pepper plants as soon as danger of frost has passed.

That's great you have a big area to garden. I have a little garden in our back yard and we have lettuce and potatoes growing. We just cut down our old orange tree (so sad) to make more room for other vegetables. Gardening always make me feel happy and proud.

That is a lot more than what I would call a garden, My friend. I have a backyard and I´m happy to plant some tomatoes, zuchinni and lettuce among my flowers. I imagine that what you have is a lot of work and I hope your harvest is bountiful

Wow how nice of you to have an orange garden. How i wish could have one too, but i don't have the land and patience though, to tend it. But my father has a small vegetable garden at our backyard. It has radish, tomatoes, eggplants, squash and bitter gourd. I love visiting them because i get to harvest some and take it with me back to our house in the city.

I really envy you! Having a real garden is a dream for me. It gives you ultimate pleasure to see the saplings grow and each and every step of farming will be challenging and live. the real happiness comes at the time of harvesting when you see the fruits of your hard work. My good wishes for you!

Wow! That's great my friend. To have a small garden is a good habit to manage every day. It will help us be energetic all days especially morning... I don't have that kind of garden. But I want to have even a small one...

Gardening is one of my hobbies, in fact I have collection of orchids, roses, violets and chrysanthemum. I also planted a favorite tree, Moringa oleifera. Aside from the flowers, I have a pandan plant and hibiscus plants. My plants are planted on pots because I got a very little space.

Hi, Oldsix, this is an amazing story! I was living in a house years ago and I wanted to take care of the garden. But I had to take care of my baby first and there was little time left. But it's fine when you plant something and you watch it grow. Now I bought a little cypress and I keep it in my living room. In the spring I'll move it out.

Wow, what a lot of work you have, especially when doing all of this on your own. It must be quite relaxing doing this, even though you are working hard. It also saves you from being out elsewhere spending money. I only have a backyard, no garden at all. What you have sounds so amazing, like a place you could just chill out and relax in. Take in the air, pick some fruit. It truly does sound wonderful and it is great that you have this and that you are able to plant some fruit and vegetables.

In my mother town house they has a lot given by their parents. I never experience to have my own lot and plant on it. As I remember when I was only in grade school my mom wants us to eat organic vegetables and hers around our house. But I didn't have any chance to make it on my own. Started thinking to learn how to plant herbs. What we only have now is herbs, veggies, a bit of flowers and bonsai. Good day! God bless!

we are having garden in our native place... 100 coconut trees,12 papaya trees, 1 big mango tree,many rose,lily,hibiscus plants too... 1 acers of paddy we had harvested,1 acers of sugarcane too... Many neem trees and one big banyan tree also... They are very useful in producing good atmosphere and in medicine too...

Once I have a garden ,we grow vegetables and fruit,and also raise chickens,sheeps,ducks.There's a peach tree in front of my house,every summer it produced many peaches.Because I studied in other places,just come back home at summer holidays,when I come back home,the peaches are all picked off.But now ,my house has been pulled down ,and my garden has gone.....

Yes, I have a small garden, but nothing like the 3 acres you have. Ours is about 1/8th of an acre, but it is pleasant to work in. When I was a kid though I grew up on a small holding of around 38 acres and we took one of the fields of 2 acres and made a large lawn with flowers and shrubs. My brother-in-law also has a similar farm where he has a large garden, but he only grow plants and flowers and stopped growing veggies quite some time ago. You garden sound great and it is a good healthy activitity. _Derek

For me not and even not int eh internet but I want to leave in the paradise as what Jehovah God promised to the one who is first seeking the good news of his kingdom I will gain not a smal garden but big one garden of mine.

How lucky for you to have a real farm unlike most of those online, doing farming virtually. I love growing plants but what I got is some potted plants only in a small vacant part in our front yard. I have A malunggay tree, calamansi, a native pepper plant (sili Labuyo)and a new additon of Turmeric (Luyang Dilaw)Like you I enjoy working on them and I have harvested twice of my calamansi and several times of Malunggay fruits! For my home use only and some for my friends and neighbors!

I envy you very much.the labour of seeding,planting and harvesting in your garden is beneficial to your physical and mental health.I live in a apartment block moreover second floor.I only grow my flowers in the balcony.In case neighbors are discontented with the smell of fertilizer ,I seldom apply fertilizer to flowers.

The life we are living is so expensive and it needs some one to spend carefully, if you do have a house that has got a space whereby you can develop a garden please use it. I do have a vetetable garden, as a result of that garden I do not buy every vegetable. In that garden we grow spinach, cabbages, cauliflower, green peas and beans, carrot and etc. We need to use our own resource to feed ourselves rather than buy everything. If I want to do some of the salads I just go to that vegetable garden where I pick what is needed at that particular time and at least I am saving even if its not too much and those vegetables are fresh. In our community sometimes you do give away other veggies to those who do not have any thing to eat at all, so that the kids can go to bed not empty stomach, so I am asking other MYLOT friends and relatives who can grow veggies to do the same so that they can help others who could not.Time is not much to do it

i dont have but i love to. i am nature lover so i like gardening. i plan to have it when i go back to our hometown. i want to plant vegetable and fruits in my garden. Not much of flowers.
