"As I get older and continue working full time, I find that it is difficult to keep up with my landscape maintenance, vegetable gardening, and greenhouse projects. Weeding and weed control, fertilizing, mulching, planting, dividing, pruning, making compost, maintaining a drip irrigation system, and running the chipper are just some of the tasks I do to tend and nurture my fruit trees, shrubs, flowers, lawn and vegetables. I love all those quotes about gardening being such a peaceful, spiritual activity, but it seems like a second job to me. By the way I am a county master gardener and can't stop gardening!" |
