Gardening
Are any of you here gardeners? For me, gardening is one part job and one part passion. I work in the field of horticulture, so my personal garden is often an extension of my career...It's a place where I can trial plants, learn new things, and give a home to unwanted/unsold plants. But beyond that, gardening is a hobby and a love for me. It's so peaceful...
At any rate, I like gardening of ALL sorts. My first dappling as a child was helping my grandparents work a farm, so I have interest in veggies. My first plants that I truly took care of myself were a variety of herbs-- I still have the same rosemary from many years ago. From there I have branched out into ornamentals, and have steadily learned more and more about the world of landscaping-- sun plants, shade plants, native plants, bog plants, etc. Career wise, I have grown organic greenhouse tomatoes for several years and I have been a landscape director overseeing an 87 acre facility as well.
If there is interest, I can go into more details about what I'm growing this year and how my garden has evolved...
