Re: what do you get out of gardening
Maintenance season here......and finally some weather that does not make it too much of a chore. Completely rehabbing the water garden in store for the summer, where it will get out of hand again.....trimming the wife's roses, looking at the front yard and deciding that it must be completely redone.....all of this sounds like work....
but I look forward to it. At the end of the day, I see progress improvement,...I have gotten off my fatty acids and brought out a sweat (try prying out a Cyperus textilis that has rooted into the rocks and you'll understand), and I know that later this year thing will look better.
I expect fruit on the Ice Creams and 1000 fingers this year, the palms and bamboo will provide some badly needed shade, and I'll be able to sit by the Koi pond at the end of the day with the spouse and unlax....
Gardening is all of that and more.
