I've tried planting flowers and gardens but it never works.  I think I'm about the only one who could plant a plastic tree and have it die on me :)

I don't have time for a vegtable garden so I buy a few 6 packs of different peppers and tomatoes and plant half @ home and the other half @ my office in the flower beds, they do ok there and I still have some homegrown produce!

I try Bama but am not used to my zone gardening climate yet - it's hard to grow anything for me when you live somewhere where the temp is 90+ for most of the year but I do still try.  Got me a little pineapple that I've been growing for about 2 years now and that seems to be the only success I've had.

We have a little vegetable garden too. It is one of those raised gardens with the wood planks around it. He also has an herb garden (legal herbs, lol) because he is the cook of the family and uses them when he cooks. My son had given him the herb gardening kit as a gift a few years ago and we have definitely enjoyed it. There is nothing like food made with ingredients from your own garden.

We have an Amish community south of here that we visit every now and then to get freshly canned goods and handcrafted items like baskets. Their strawberry preserves are amazing!

Yes, I do! Hubby got me interested in gardening and landscaping. He has taught me a lot about what types of plants grow best where. He even built me a dry creek bed with a waterfall like I always wanted. I love getting out there and weeding and planting. The time passes so fast and it is relaxing and therapeutic. I am so glad the weather is nice and it appears Spring is here. We already have buttercups and our Japanese Maples have leaves.
