If you had outdoor space, would you start a garden of flowers and/or veggies?

Awesome! You’re hired, my friend!

:grin:

You’re welcome to the garden! :grin:

Update: My ideal garden would have marigolds filling every patch of empty ground / soil. Only reason being I like growing marigolds. But not the yellow marigolds, I’ve seen too many of those flowers.

And apparently lavender is a great moth replant, so that plant is going all around my future house’s exterior and the clothes lines.

Don’t really have the time for that veg and flowers thing… But I would have a pond with fish…

My partner has asked me and I told him this: If you want to, go ahead, but I’m not gonna :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t mind bugs and worms, and since I was little, I’ve helped my mom with her garden many, many times, so I know what goes into keeping a garden.

Gardening is a whole thing. So much work. So much effort. So many diseases to deal with and sometimes you don’t even know what’s wrong with the plant. My mom used to have herbs and tomatoes. I can’t remember if she tried anything else :thinking: She had some lemongrass inside in a pot.

It’s so much work keeping greenery alive especially after you first plant the little plants and have to wait for them to get used to the soil and everything.

Mint is such a tough plant. It grows anywhere and goes everywhere. EVERYwhere.

I’ll just enjoy looking at other people’s gardens :wink: There’s this one house nearby and the woman there has some kind of gardening class or something, so her garden is gorgeous with two big rose bushes growing on an arch. So many flowers for every season. Always so well kempt? kept? There’s many flowers I have never seen before, too.

Like @Akje said, if I had a lot of money, however, I would like to hire a gardener to maintain a garden for me because they are wonderful to be in :blush:

You, me, and @Akje need to win the lottery at the same time to create an awesome garden that we can all share.

For reals! :wink:

Oh dear. I don’t know that this is really a fair question for me to answer. I had a farmhouse for 22 years until recently. Yes I tried to make sure there was a garden every year. There was a bird bath that my aunt had made with seashells and cement. She did quite a beautiful job of it. There was a clothesline. There were blackberry bushes off to the back of the yard on the right. I had black walnut trees Beyond the Edge of the backyard and loved to collect them during the season and boy did I have fun shucking them and then drying them and getting the meat out of the shells. FYI black walnut shells require hammers and a strong hand to break open.:wink: also, when you take them out of their husk it will turn your hands black and it will stain stay on there for a week or two.

What I would really like to have in the backyard would be a fire pit, fruit trees and nut trees, blackberry bushes and grapevines muscadine preferably. Plenty of room to catch fireflies on Summer evenings. And I would need to be somewhere with at least 20 acres of land, wooded preferably.

For me, it would be a nature pond with plenty of fish and other environmentally balanced ecosystem creatures.

That aside. then it would follow with a flowing natural woodland look (depending on size that is)… But yeah, a natural looking small garden would be just fine for me, I don’t want a lot, just peacefulness in my small world that I call my own…
