Question Gardening - love it or hate it

..... i hate it

Most people have had a snide go at me not cutting the grass, so i have wayhey well front & side have, the back errrrr needs bombing 1st before i will think about it. Would of been handier with a grass box least then i could get the strays cut & not get stung by darn nettle clippings flying to attack me & my strimmer has knackered being in shed, so edges arn't neat either - gee took a lot of motivation just to get the mower out, least that didnt blow up in flames this time heehehehe

Btw i haven't tackled my bush as its famous for its big bushy outgrown look [besides wouldnt make much of a difference!!]

Some people enjoy gardening, to me its just more aggro i have enough with the house itself but the advantage to a nice garden [which i aint got atm lol] is being able to sit out in the lovely weather - looking pretty. My grandparents were good keen gardeners on both sides, but me growing up in a 2 up 2 down with a yard never having the pleasures & pains of a garden. So is it nuture [taught] or nature [genetic in the blood]???

So what did the council do.................give me a ruddy big garden that was never looked after in the 1st place & expect me to work miracles

Re: Gardening - love it or hate it

I built a split level garden in the back yard of a terraced house. What a waste of money that was! . I could sit out on my lounge chair and look at the flowering shrubs. I could pretend that the traffic noise was the sound of waves on the shore, but when the dogs next door peed there was no escaping the smell ,even though I had the wall topped with lavender in troughs.
Now HH mows my grass front and back -life is easier that way -but I miss having breakfast in the sun in my nightie. I am surrounded by single men in this flat and it just isnt appropriate to appear on HH's lawns in my nightie.
(By the way Mel I get a joiner tomorrow to finish the central heating install )

I dont mind doing a bit of gardening, mines quite low maintenance just the lawn and a bit of weeding, love sitting out in nice weather so its worth the work.

Re: Gardening - love it or hate it

I love gardening, it's my hobby. Is it Nature or Nurture? Well, my dad was a keen gardener so I grew up being used to weeding and cultivating. I love a beautiful lawn but I don't like mowing so about 10 years ago I "excavated" my back garden and paved and gravelled it, leaving just borders and dozens of pots. When my daughter and granddaughter came to live with me I thought Laura needed somewhere a bit more comfortable to play so I re-lawned half of it.

I get a kick out of growing plants, especially from seed, and I like to be able to look at and sit in an attractive garden but I enjoy the hard work too, digging etc. I still don't like mowing the lawn but at least there's not much of it to mow.
