[quote:Anonymous Coward 77070158:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg2NjgxOTA4X0MzM0QzRTk4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77192746:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg2NjgxMzg3Xzk2Q0MyQ0Q3] Gardening is the best hobby anyone could take up, especially now. Not only a vegetable garden.. but just create a garden of small trees, bushes, flowers in your yard. Turn your yard from bland grass to a small slice of paradise in a couple of years. Excellent way to spend time. Relaxing to your core and greatly enhances your property. Vegetable gardens are very beneficial on many levels as well of course. [/quote] Agreed - I have an English garden with tons of perennials and fruit trees, a pond and pergola covered in grape vines. Spent half my life working on it. I only do vegetable gardens every few years, Have to be in the mood, cause I am like screw it, it so much easier to buy them from the stands and farmers market, also I grew up on a farm, so yeah Livestock and gardens lost their appeal long ago. My best friend's wife wanted that rural experience and she bought miniature goats. Great, but I had to deliver a breach birth two summers ago, cause the vet got nervous after a 6 hr. labor and he could not get it out. I was up to my elbow and turned the first one, and the Nany was screaming. but It was too late, the kid had been suffocated inside the womb with the pushing from the long labor. None of the 4 kids made it, but the mom at least lived. It was a freaking horrifying day and [b]I have seen a lot[/b], but that was the worst. And That is why I like my simple English Garden.

Let's take a deep breath and relax by the plants, you guys. Seriously - this world has gone to absolute shit and I went and sat outside barefoot in my little (beginner's) garden, and I literally FELT my blood pressure go down...I felt my body relax.
So this is my first actual garden. I've grown things here and there, but this is the first time I actually sat down and planned out an actual garden. I saw my first potato sprouts yesterday and squealed with delight. I grew that!
There are few things as exciting as watching veggies grow that you put there yourself.
Oh. my. goodness....why didn't I start doing this earlier???
