My answers:
1: Did you have a garden when you were growing up? Yes, I remember one spring, saying I was going to stay home that summer and weed my garden, a classmate responded that he was going to stay home and garden his weed. My grandmother around the corner on the farm had a spectacular garden.
2: Are you able to keep houseplants alive? Not really. The cactus died from neglect.
3: What is a favorite thing you have grown? Roses, at the last house in Florida.
4: Have you ever planted a tree? Yes, and driven by 35 years later to see them standing tall.
5: What are you currently growing? Content with life, no plants in the high rise with the northern exposure.

ReplyDelete2. Let's just say, if houseplants were people, I'd be in prison, having been convicted on several charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Delete1. My mother spent hours per day out tending to her flowerrs, plants, bushes and trees. The irony was, she couldn't keep anything alive if it were inside.

DeleteWhat is a favorite thing you have grown?
ReplyDeleteAnything that grows in large pots around the back veranda - spring onions, lettuce, capsicum, radishes, basil, parsley etc. The only thing that failed totally were tomatoes.
I have a friend who longs for a good tomato, and keeps having them die on him without fruiting.

ReplyDelete2: Are you able to keep houseplants alive? No sadly, I don't have the knack and believe me I've tried.

DeleteOh how I miss gardening: vegetables, flowers, herbs, roses you name it. It's just too hot here to have any. The more I miss gardening the more I want to move back to MI to have some, one last time.
