RE: Getting dirty about it

in #gardening8 years ago

Thank you so much for your complimentary comment ~ I appreciate your reading my post and being interested in something so rewarding and fulfilling as gardening ! No matter what scale you do it on, even if its a patio or window box garden , you will so enjoy being able to have fresh choices at your ready ~ and ones that you know the growing practices and care of ~~ which is very important in the quality and safety of our food sources ~ I didn't grow up gardening ....we had horses, lots of horses !, and every inch of our property was devoted to them. I learned to appreciate how my Mom cared for her flower beds using non-commercial or chemical approaches to them. Most of the principles we use, are pearls gleaned from her and from my mistakes over the past twenty years ! I wish you a wealth of happiness and success in you future retirement ~ congrats on the beginning of a new life !! Thank you again and blessings to you ! :-)
