What's your favourite part of gardening?

[ChanellG]

Well I hope im not to late to reply to this one?
I like gardening for a few reasons; Like its a hobby you can do as a group/family or alone, it keeps you fitter than sitting in a chair...

Great answer!

I like to arrange the colors of various flowers.

What motivates you to garden? Is being outside in the sunshine, watching something grow or w
Harvesting your own vegetables.

I love to spend all day in the garden satisfied I sit back with a big bowl of snap peas, or a tomato sandwich. That's what keeps me out there.

Simple...nurturing and enjoying the results

I like to think over many years, I've achieved an abiance, so I can spend part of a relaxed warm afternoon or evening (when we get any) in the garden, with a drink and a bit of nostalgia.

Especially on a Sunday.

In my opinion, gardens should be enjoyed whatever sort you've got. We should spend more time doing that, it's too easy to forget that when we're beavering away at something.

Whilst I do find gardening quite hard work and I find it unbelievably exciting and satisfying. As Peace Perfect Peace says, its better for you than sitting in a chair all day, the fresh air, the sunshine, "the move it or loose it" element, another version of that I've just heard..."Motion is the Lotion", the creative element of deciding what shape, texture, colour would suit where, what has worked and what hasn't, what needs to be moved or just go. I do have a back corner where I tend to gives these "rejects" a second chance rather than toss them out. Just today I moved 2 white hebes because they were overcrowding an area so I tidied them up, cut them back and planted them in this "rehab". Hebes don't like to be moved but you never know .
And Sean Regan, I do like you style, I too love a ponder with a tipple. One of my favorites is at the end of a big gardening day to clean up, organise dinner and head out into the garden with secateurs in one hand , a glass of wine in the other. A friend did suggest my plants might be nervous . I don't think so, I love my plants

when I say, that is enough for the day. and I sit on the deck with a martini looking at my well done work.

You can't beat a bit of gardening can you?

I could sit and look at it all day....If I had the time!

I love all parts of gardening, but it's a boost when people passing by say how lovely it is.

I don't get folks passing by to view. we are tucked way back and much is in the back of the house. our little secret oasis.

We've got a front and back garden and the front is big compared to most of them because we're on a corner and the garden goes round the side of our house.

our little secret oasis.

ha-that's exactly how we feel!
and like others mentioned, being able to sit back, relax and enjoy.
