My garden is...

18 years ago

I wanted to describe my garden in few words, and this is what came to mind:

My garden is enchanted, fragrant, inviting, beautiful. It's a wonderful addiction of mine; It's a hard work that I do gladly. It's a gift and my baby.

Actually, I could go on and on. How do you describe your garden in few words?

    My garden is currently a figment of my mind, an imagination. Here is a picture of my pallette. I can't wait for Spring!!!

    Cheers, Nancy.

    My garden is my place of serenity, I can forget all the cares of the day once I'm there, I can talk to the Lord, while marveling at his creation, I can get good and dirty, and others enjoy looking as well.
    I can't wait to get out there again, that's all... in a nutshell.

    If I can get dirt under my finger nails, I am much happier. I can really get "lost" in the garden.
    I ususally do a little at a time. My roomate, Diane, however is the kind that will spread a whole pickup load of soil at one time. She exhausts me. Right now it is driving her crazy that I won't let her unload the 25 concrete blocks that are in the back of my truck.

    My garden is full of promise, but is awfully bare right now.

    My garden opens possibilities in my mind and heart, and shares a natural bounty in the circle of life.

    My garden keeps me young at heart if not in body, I'm nursing my wounds from digging out a rambling rose which was to rambunctious for the place I had it planted. Oh well you can't win them all.

    A sweet retreat from the crazy, hectic world that we live in.

    My garden is a very important part of my world!!! I can hardy wait to get out in it to work. I walk around it and can't wait to get the dirt under my fingernails and smell the dirt!!!! I even wrote a poem this winter about it.... I called it "I love Spring" Perhaps you would enjoy reading it!!!
    The snow is glistening all over our yard,
    The birdfeeders are filled with peanut and lard.
    the wind is whipping and the air is cold,
    In my heart I'm waiting for spring to unfold!
    I want to get out and mow all my grass,
    Maybe go to the lake and catch me a bass.
    I want to watch my hostas break through the ground,
    And plant sunflower seeds that grow big and round!
    I want to dig in the dirt and play in the sun.
    I want work in my garden until day is done!!!
    I want to get up at the crack of dawn,
    And watch dandilions open all over my lawn!!!
    I want to watch a new daylily open everyday.
    I want to see blue skys and not all this gray!!
    I want to see hummingbirds buzzing around,
    I want to see earthworms come out of the ground.
    I want to sit in the sun and have a cold beer,
    Oh, how I wish spring was now here!!!
    Happy Gardening to you all!!!!!!!!!!

    Great Poem Mulchy!
    My garden is so many things to me. I'm not sure I can even explain it to myself right now, lol.

    My garden is my peek at heaven!

    perfect in my mind's eye, but not quite so perfect when I'm actually looking at it. So I keep "tweaking it" constantly!

    What keeps me going is that there are those transcendent moments when you look at part of the garden and realize, "Right now is a 'Kodak moment', and next month it'll be gone." But for a brief time, everything in that one spot is absolutely perfect, just as you imagined it to be when first planting everything.

    ...a work in progress. There is always something that I can do to improve it and there's always something that needs doing!

    My garden is...my sanity. My fun. My exercise. My creativity. It's a place to relax or work really hard. It is the one thing I have any control over - well, to the extent that Mother Nature allows. It's one area of my life that offers hope and promise. I sit on my porch and look out there and think about all the things I COULD do or just what will come up and be there. My garden is the center of my life right now. I don't know what that says about me but it's the truth.

    My garden is never quite finished, always a work in progress and it is one of my few attempts at creativity. It has become over the years a link with departed family - my grandfather and father who both loved gardening one with flowers the other with vegetables.

    All the answers remind me of one of my favorite quote:

    "In his garden every man may be his own artist without apology or explanation.
    Here is one spot where each may experience "the romance of possibility ."

    Just waking up from a good winters nap.

    Basking in a sun at the moment, absorbing every heavenly ray. Blue birds made a home in a new piece of a real estate I recently acquired for them.
    Life is good! In spring especially :).

    My garden is where I can escape from the world. It's my security blanket.

    My garden is........ My Chiropractor's childrens' college fund! LOL
    I actually am waiting for the landscaper guy who my DH carved a sign for to show up and complete my pottager garden and also work on my huge front yard.
    Then I have an acre to tackle after the "yards" are done!
    Sorry, don't know how to post pics. Not much to post anyway. NT

    Funny you mentioned Chiropractor Ninjabut. I went to see mine today, and mentioned to him that I usually plan my gardening activities the day before I can get an adjustment.
    He gets to treat a lot of gardeners.
    Still, considering all the things that we inflict on our bodies, the joy and satisfaction surpass the pain, fatigue, and dislocated vertebrae.
