Message: [QUOTE="Cammie27, post: 14415, member: 667"] I think I'm mainly just a glutton... I love growing food but have little patience with ornamentals. My husband plants the annuals in the front yard, and I spend my time with the fruit and veg plants in back. Something about starting from seed and ending up with food is very rewarding to me, much more so than ending up with beautiful blooms or a perfectly landscaped space. There are some fabulous Victorian and cottage gardens in my community and I love seeing them and smelling all the wonderful flowers, but when it comes to my yard I am all about vegetables in neat rows and squares surrounded by fruit trees and brambles. Even my houseplants are edible, from the windowsill herb garden to my experiments with exotic/sub-tropical plants that wouldn't survive outdoors in my area. [/QUOTE]
