The Quest for Gardening |

I will admit that I love to garden but I'm not all that good at it. I see the pictures in magazines and that's what I want! Somehow it all doesn't turn out like I expect it to. Last year I tried one of those things that are guaranteed to grow tomatoes upside down. Not! All I ended up with were dried up yellow leaves. I watered it faithfully and waited anxiously for my crop of beautiful tomatoes, and..nothing. So how do some people get such fantastic vegetable or flower gardens? I've come to the conclusion that they must spend a fortune in fertilizer and plants. Either that, or they hire a gardener to do the work for them. I guess a good garden is a matter of planning. I don't know the difference between a perennial and an annual. I know that one comes up every year and one requires planting every year, but I don't know which is which. I get antsy when spring is near, because I can't wait to visit the greenhouses and pick my plantings for the garden I am going to put in. I usually end up with a few pots of plants that I buy already blossomed. Some people really do have a knack for gardening, though. Green thumb, and all that. A good garden takes time and tons of patience, and a lot of planning and upkeep. And weeding, something that I only do once or twice, and then the weeds overrun everything. I need plants that require little or no water and will grow in whatever area you toss them! I have no idea what kind of soil I have or how much mulch or fertilizer to use. This year..my garden is going to be spectacular, you just wait and see! |
