Gardening...

I think I've been pretty serious about it since the Summer of last year.  And I wondered why I never really had gotten into it sooner in my life.  I guess I never thought I had a "green thumb", but I do love to do gardening now.  And it's a good mild form of exercise.  I mean, it can be quite labor intensive.

The thing I've learned is that anyone can develop a "green thumb" for gardening.  One of the secrets is developing your own compost and throw all your kitchen scraps and cut grass into it and watch it turn into dark, rich compost for mulching and adding to the soil to enrich it.

I still have a long way to go, but my goal this year is to complete a meditation garden.  With a variety of flowering plants...  roses, lilies, gladiolas, etc...

So far it's looking like this:  The Garden: After The Rains

As you can see it's starting to shape up, but I need to plant more bulbs and things to create more flowers for Spring and Summer.  And right now things are looking pretty "dormant" still.  But Spring is around the corner and I'm looking forward to it, more than any previous year because now...  I'm a Gardener.  My wife's Gardener.  *hehe*  :o)
