I started gardening when I was 15 because I lived in an area that was extremely rural and rather boring in northern California, so I had to do something; plus I always loved plants as a kid. A veggie garden was my first experience. I first started with tomatoes, cucumber, and summer squash, and then eventually graduated to watermelons, cantaloupe (aka rockmelon), bell peppers, artichoke, and eventually began to grow strawberries and an assortment of peppers. I also started growing little planters of simple flowers, like pansies and marigold. I got old horse troughs, repainted them bright, fun colors, and set them near the porch. It was GREAT, but then I moved. But, as much as I want to have another vegetable patch, I still haven't done full research into how to counter Australia's cockatoo problems... So I'm now back to gardening, and this time I'm trying a variety of flowers I've always had a love for. I started off growing oregano and basil in a small planter (some babies I got for Christmas), but this week I've bought a hydrangea and a small pot of violets. Hopefully soon I can find some peonies since there in season here, and maybe get some roses? I'm keen to start a new garden out at the front of our house solely consisting of native plants, but I'd love to do a corner of succulents too. Succulents are much too good for the soul <3 I'll eventually gather photos. I'm so glad to see there are other plant enthusiasts out there! |
