Why Gardening is Fascinating

When I was a kid, we had a big yard where Mom and Dad plant not just ornamental plants but also different kinds of fruit trees and vegetables. As a child, I learned to value and appreciate the importance of planting because we did not only have a very cool and refreshing surrounding but we also did not run out of fresh organic vegetables and fruits on our table.
This is the reason why gardening is my favorite hobby. I don't want to miss those benefits and all the more the excitement of seeing my plants blooming and fruiting.
What hobby fascinates you the most?

@brokenbee we have to rest our eyes from our computers too. The garden is the best place to stay to get the much needed break.

@salonga yup, but when I get tired of browsing, I also go out and breathe in some fresh air. I try to transplant my old plants.

Are those veggies and fruits from you garden ? Did you plant all of them ? Wow !
My parents house has a big lawn in front . It used to have a mango tree and makopa and orchids and flowers . At the back are more fruit bearing trees and veggies .
That's why i miss it always since in my parents -in-law's house has a very small front , back and sides . It's mostly all house .

@salonga My husband stays home all summer because he has a job just during the summer, he takes care of the gardens.

Are those photos from your garden? Just luscious and beautiful! I used to garden, but too many animals come out of the woods to eat everything. I just have some herbs and tomato plants on my deck and window garden. Otherwise, my hobby is shopping. Lol!

and the only vegetable that grew in my garden plot during my elementary years was... the mighty okra. I cannot grow a plant, and I envy you for having those beautiful vegetable produce, my friend

I wish, I had a yard big enough for a garden. When I was younger my parents always a had a garden. My hobby is writing. I know, that may sound funny because I do write for a living as well. I have gotten into taking picture since, I have been here and have seen all the lovely pictures that people share.

I love working with my flower garden. I also enjoy planting a few vegetables, but they never seem to do much.

Gardening is not an easy job, there are a lot of factors to consider, the weather, the soil condition, the watering system, the right fertilizer, and a lot more.

You can always buy a farm in the countryside just as some of my friends who live in the city. There are lots of affordable lots for farming in Cavite i think.
The long fruit vegetable is called 'upo', in English it is called white squash.
