Reason for gardening

The hosts from 8A seem to focus on gardening to make the neighbors jealous. What about loving flowers? Give us some credit!

And what about the benefits of exercise when gardening, the simple pleasure we get from a beautiful garden (without worrying about whether the neighbors will be impressed), as well as the meditative focus of gardening which can be restorative to a tired mind.

I like to NURTURE - whether my son, my pets or my garden!

I love to care about something or someone and watch it GROW!

Reason for gardening: get exercise/ get involved with people who also like gardening/ show to neighbors that certain plants are not as fussy as they think or can be interesting for at least 3 seasons.

I could care less about the neighbors. If they cared so much they would be planting their own flower beds which most don't. I love to garden and look at the results. That makes me happy. My neighbors probably think I am crazy to have so many flowers.

If I hear one more time spring is only 30 days away!!! Most states can't plant flowers for at least 2 months or more. Anything to get the sale in now. All I see is 10 inches of snow.

Same here...DH and I dream of someday moving to an acreage large enough so we don't see any neighbors from any direction!

Hats off to those who have the disposable income to spend on gardening. There are so many people now who count their pennies and think ten times before they buy anything, even a necessity.

ITA.

They have seeds for 20 cents a pack at Walmart. Surely everyone can spare a little change for some seeds, a pot, and some fertilizer to bring beauty into their life. Pity the ones who don't appreciate the value. No better way to share time with your grandchildren than planting some seeds and watching them grow. Pure delight . . .for everyone involved.
