I hate digging and weeding. Plus, my deck gets more sunlight than my yard because of the surrounding trees.

that's kind of interesting!

i actually really like putting my hands in the dirt and all that stuff, i just have to have gloves on because i don't like the possibility of touching a bug. haha...

I hate digging dirt out from my fingernails --- that's my main deterrant. I remember loving the feeling of dirt and sand in my fingers when I was little.

yes - that is another reason why gloves are a must for me. But I grew up doing that kind of stuff, and I really for some reason used to love weeding, like it was relaxing or something... and my favorite place in the world as a kid was my grandma's flower garden - i really hope that i inherited some of her skillz

What's the difference between an annual and perennial? I wish I was more into gardening.

i know one of them comes back every year if you leave the bulb in the ground, and the other just blooms/grows for the year and then it's dead and done. I think. Right?

Very helpful. I was mailed an "exotic seeds" catalogue once. I saved it at home; I'll have to give you the web address. I constantly say to Donovan that I'd like to retire and just garden all day, but he reminds me that I don't have the patience. Maybe I'll start with some herbs in a windowbox on my deck.

yeah i find it very relaxing - the last time i had a little garden was probably about 10 years ago, but i remember i liked it so much! and i am very A.D.D. type and usually don't have ANY patience but somehow gardening really relaxes me and helps me focus! anyway just the thought of it relaxes me so we'll see what happens in a few months, ha
