I'm really bummed about the weather this morning.........and my husband even moreso because he knows that my being stuck indoors means he will most likely be doing more tilling next week:)

Coffee's on and I got donuts!!!!

It's raining and chilly here, too.

What kind of gardening do you all do?

The kind where I sit back with a glass of iced tea and watch the Mexicans work. ;)

The kind of gardening I like is when you either have enough money to pay someone to do it, and you go out and admire it from time to time, or you have children who can do it, and you go out and admire it from time to time.

I despise gardening, always have -- if there's more to it than buying something, digging a hole, planting it, and then forgetting about it except to look at on occasion.

Gabz, I enjoy plants and flowers that are pretty low-maintenance. I have lantana and blue plumbago (shrubs that are drought tolerant and require little to no maintenance). They are hearty and impossible to kill.

I have Gardenia, which are lovely in bloom and smell heavenly and a bed of annuals in all colors that require water often.

Now, I have a bed of roses and, of course, they do require care. They are so beautiful, however, that they're worth the effort.

My tree choices are crepe myrtles in back and Oak and bradford pear in front.

Cheer up. The sun will come out tomorrow!

Don't do much gardening. We have a 2 acre wooded lot. I have been told that we have a small fortune in really tall pine trees. They are nice, thick trunks, straight and about 60 feet tall. Unfortunately, that means that we barely grow grass (my hubby mows once a month whether it needs it or not.) I plant begonias every year along the side of the house and garage. I need a good plant or tree that will grow in my planting area. It must be able to do well in shade and wet soil. I think a dogwood would do well. Any suggestions?

About 3 years ago I started flowering gardening. We cut out part of our patio, but decortive fencing around it and now it is our patio garden. Hope pictures are OK:)>

This year in front of our house, I've been planting some trees, a dogwood, a Japanese Red Maple, and 2 Rose of Sharon'

Poll Question: How many of you that enjoy gardening were raised either in an apartment or small urban/suburban lot?

The reason I asked that is a lot of people I have talked to are like me, in that there family always had a very large garden when they were growing up and now do not care for any type of lawn/garden work except for the least we can get by with. That being said, it seems that the people that are always working in their gardens had the apartment/urban/suburban childhood.

We are doing tomato and hot pepper plants this year. I have about 100 plants ready to go in the garden but it has been rainy and cool here too. Also, our tiller has been out of commission but I think we have it fixed and ready to go. We are rooting for a nice day on Sunday to get the garden going!

I live in a condo/townhouse so my gardening space is extremely limited.

I have gerber daises out front and in the back I have an azalea that has blooms that look like honeysuckle and a beautiful, beautiful pomegranate bush.

Our veggie garden is completely planted. 12 tomoto plants, 9 pepper plants, slicing and pickling cucumbers, zuchini, pole beans, carrots, lettuce, onions, garlic, radish, spinach and peas.

I still have 2 flats of impatiens to get in the flower beds, but I keep getting migraine headaches, so it just isn't getting done!

I love driving into my driveway in the summer ans seeing all the flowers! It's worth it to me to go to the work of planting and weeding.
