       For many years I have had flower gardens. This year it hasn't been possible. I really miss the gardening. I have enjoyed hearing from all of you who have been sharing your gardens with us. Maybe next year will be different. But until then I hope you will continue to tell us about your gardens. "I may not do great things, but I can do small things with great love." Mother Theresa

Classic, What a beautiful, artistic blog! You are truly a creative woman. Yes, next year you will be able to start early with planning a garden. How's your shoulder doing?

Gardens are a great metaphor for life: gather ye rosebuds while ye may. I'm afraid I don't have much to tell you, Classic. My landscape is simple, but well-maintained. I like the clean lines of freshly-painted white fencing and manicured pastureland. To me, that's country. I hope your garden will be blooming again...when you're up to it.

The Garden reflects beauty,peace and contentment. I once had a garden in my previous home...full of plants and trees at our backyard and blue grass and flowers in the front yard... Still is, actually but it is being rented now,,,, when my first husband died...we moved to another place...an apartment...now no more garden.... only flowers and plants planted on the flower pots and plant boxes...lol. I missed gardening every weekends. Hope you're in good health, Ma'am Classic.  Good Sunday PM here..Hugs...  " A man in love mistakes a pimple for a dimple. " - Japanese Proverb -

I've always loved working in the yard. I had a rose garden at my homes in CA, FL and here. Well, I had one here til two years ago and then I had to let the yard take over the beds because I wasn't able to work them anymore. It was always like therapy for me working in the soil and watching the flowers come to bloom. A lot I cut and brought in the house as I love fresh flowers in the house. Alas, doesn't look like I'll be doing it again and I miss it a lot!!! You're having problems with your shoulder? I'm so sorry and hope it mends or gets better soon. Huggs, Chloe

I did a good bit of work with our roses and flower beds in the early spring, looking forward to the blooming season, but with the changing plans that have filled the mid-spring to mid-summer months, I fear they've gone to weed and seed. So it goes from time to time. I've always wanted to take up cultivating Bonzai trees as a hobby. Something to consider for the future. We will rest in this fallow season and wait for the change to come. , my friend.Never lose a holy curiosity.  Albert Einstein TheHag

1942, Hello Sweetness ........ I do not have a flower garden to write about I love looking at those beautiful flowers and all they bring with them though ..... My garden consist of a seed of friendship and love that gets planted and the original seed did not come from man but the Maker of all that man has ....... I try to water it ....... make sure it gets some sunshine ..... and I try to give those blossom's out when they bloom ... and when I run short of the things that it takes to keep them blooming then the Maker waters and weeds and gets me back on track to bloom forth more beauty from my garden then I had before ....... Smile Sweet Lady I pass the blossom of my flowers to you and glad you are feeling somewhat better and awaiting a better tomorrow ........ Blessings and Hugssssssssssssssssssssssss ....... Pattie

I love gardens too but of course there are no gardens with apartments. And I love the song. But does anyone else remember the book and what it was about? It was so sad. It was about mental illness. Just curious.

I do not have a garden. No space for such things in my area, but I will search out for a good scene over the next few days and send you a photo. next year you can share phots of your garden with all of us “I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.” - Edgar Allan Poe

I love to garden, and have many different flowers, rose bushes, perennials, all sorts of fun things. This year is SOOOOOOO wet, and the previous two years we had a horrible drought, so things have been just kind of surviving...fortunately I plant things that are hardy, and they will be ok.

"I have begun to adopt the folks who live on my corrider in these apartments. I bake goodies and arrange flowers and deliver them in the quiet hours of the night. I am curious to see and hear their reactions and hope I can keep this my little secret." What an absolutely beautiful idea, Linda! May baskets throughout the growing season... I love it! What private joy to see the reaction... feeds the spirit for sure... Best wishes, my friend. Debbie 's &  'sCarMa Breathe life in... and live it with passion!

Classic, Yes here in Tennessee that very late hard freeze I thought this is it. The trees did finally make it out but was it not a strange spring? Now so dry. Anyone for car pool or at SFF a swimming pool? Yes I do love a garden with veggies and flowers. ResortLike

Last of the last comments. "I beg your pardon". We may as well just go to standard members. I went to my mail box here on SFF and got bills. (Just kidding). Lanny
