Gardening Methods

Would winning “Best Yard” make you deliriously happy?

I heard about one of those homeowner communities and they award one homeowner with a sign for “Best Yard” each month. That just would make me fall over and die with joy. I can’t help it I’m a passionate gardner and can’t plant this year because I’m moving in a couple of months. Its agonyyyyyyyyy! My Gurneys catalog keeps coming and it cry as I throw it away. I don’t even want to look at it, its too painful to know I can’t garden this year. Anyway, do you take as much pride in your lawn and garden as I do? : )

I’ve recentley developed a ridiculous enjoyment from gardening which even strikes me as ironic as I’m a 24 year old guy who just got out of the army but dog gone it plants are awesome. I’m currentley living in Chicago and renting and don’t have the luxury of a landscape to build right now but i have a whole notebook of ideas and plans waiting for a yard. Since I can’t garden my own yard right now I’ve been helping the guy next door and have been getting him excited about gardening and starting a few things this year. I know it might not be as exciting but go and talk to some of your neighbors who are gardeners odds are they’d love to talk about it and maybe you could help them with thier property and try and win the competition together.

last night it was raining and I kept thinking about how happy the plants must be……. Then i realized….. I’m a gardening nerd.
