How does your garden grow?
Do you have one? If not, does your neighbour? If you live in an apartment, what are the grounds like? Do you have a lawn, a yard, a patio? Do you spend time in it or let it go to jungle? Post pictures and comments if you want.
Here's mine. Used to be much bigger and more ugly really till we got the extension built for Karen, whereupon naturally most of the garden was used up. Here's what's left. Yes, I know I have to cut the grass down. I will soon. Honestly... http://www.trollheart.com/garden1.png This is the view from the back door http://www.trollheart.com/garden2.png And along the side. The wall you see is of course her extension bedroom http://www.trollheart.com/garden3.png Fun fact: the shed you see at the bottom of the garden was recently found to be infested with about 150 mice! Well, it hadn't been opened for about ten years or more. It's cleaned out now though. The white door across the bottom was there to stop the cats from investigating the mice and getting near the poison. I just haven't found anywhere else to put it yet. http://www.trollheart.com/garden4.png We used to have a rickety wooden fence here, which thanks to my half-ass-job-doing brother was not secured in the ground and used to wave like a sail in the wind, fell down a few times. http://www.trollheart.com/garden5.png View from my bedroom http://www.trollheart.com/garden6.png |
I've got a bird bath, the birds don't visit as much any more because of the cat but there is one fat pigeon that constantly splashes the water around and scares the doves and tits away, fat twat.
Seriously this pigeon is massive. Probably post pics of the garden when I can be bothered. |

We have a nice patio adjacent to the golf course complete with a killer lemon tree. I'd plant herbs but I think the dogs would just end up eating them.

Ive planted some pot in the window box my neighbour uses for her tomatoes.
Hopefully shes none the wiser. This was about two weeks ago....Well see. Other than that its Palm trees yet there is always a lawn crew there 6 out of 7 days.Couldnt tell you what they do...Except wake me up on my mornings off. |
Any inept leaf blowers? We have them by the dozens out here.

My garden consists of a couple of plants on the counter, a rose that can barely manage two blooms at once, and a potted clover.
My snake plant: Spoiler for pic:
The clover: Spoiler for pic:
Rose: Spoiler for pic:
And random plants on the counter: Spoiler for pic:
The plant you see on the right here (the one being held up by the sticks) used to be this: Spoiler for pic:
Which then turned into just a long stalk I had to trim off because it kept breaking. Edit: Massive pics so I wrapped them in spoiler tags |
I used to have a Venus Flytrap. Sadly, it is no more.

You are a venus fly trap.

If I had a real camera, I'd post pics of my yard. My mom is bit of a gardening freak, and so our front yard is actually kind of impressive, especially now that it's Spring. The very front and one spot in the middle, is lined with crapemyrtle trees, and for about a week in the Spring or Summer or whenever, our front yard just has this vibrant curtain of bright pink that makes all the other yards around us look like ****. I'm not a flower lover by any means, but even I think it looks beautiful at that time of year. Our backyard is less maintained, largely because we've always had large dogs with access to it that have kind of made gardening almost impossible. There's a strip of garden around part of the backyard that's protected by wire fencing, but that's mostly small trees and high bushes for privacy's sake. |
