Do you enjoy gardening?

[arunima25]

I love gardening. I have space constraint living in a populated urban set up. But I am grateful that I have a beautiful penthouse and I could afford to have a garden. I enjoy gardening. I do have a gardener too visiting once in a month to help me with maintaining it.
How about you? Do you have a garden? Do you enjoy gardening?

Yes, I like gardening and there are many such things which I want to do. But because of lack of time I cannot. Hope in the future when I will have lots of free time I will start doing what I like.

Yes, gardening can be lot of work and can take a lot of your time. We would like to do so many things but time becomes a constraint. Can't keep postponing everything to future in the uncertainty of life. You can start with little steps. Just with 2_3 pots with plants that are low maintenance and thrive well with the very little care that they get.

It's true if everything is postponed to future then nothing I would be able to do. We have few pots in the balcony , I had thought of growing lemon, chilli, tomato etc at home and is still pending for future.

Have never actually tried it myself, so i can't really say but from what i have seen through videos and the likes, it does sound fun.

Gardening is a good thing and it's enjoyable if it is approached with patience and little effort. Creating a garden in a small backony can be quite rewarding, especially when you see growth. I might have to consider starting with herbs first since it is quite easy to manage.

@Sanjeev . Lemon might take some time to grow and produce. I have one lemon plant for years in a pot. It does produce but not much, it would have done better in ground. Veggies like tomato, chillies and green leafy ones do well and they are low maintenance too.
@eLdavis . If you find the videos interest, you can think of starting with few pots with easy to maintain plants. You might develop a liking and more interest with small success.
@uptrendfinancialsignal . Starting with herbs is always a good idea for any beginner in gardening. They are low maintenence and you get the produce fast. Small success in the beginning can be encouraging.

You are right @arunima25 maybe during my spare time i might give this a try.

That sounds good. Start little and see if it really interests you.. I hope that you enjoy it and it gives you some pleasure.

Yes I have a small garden where I grow some farm produce like vegetables and spices. It has been working well for me because I don’t spend money to purchase these groceries from the market anymore.
I also feel fulfilled tending to my gardens every morning before I go on with other activities.

@Kennysplash . I am so happy to know that. That's a beautiful way to start your day. Tending to your garden before moving on to the daily activities is a great way to start your day. I do that on weekends. My weekdays have morning rush, but I still chose to take a walk around my terrace garden as soon as I wake-up and get out of bed. That fills me with joy and energy. The dew drops and the blooms cheer me up.
You are not only saving on money as you grow these veggies and spices, you are also getting something fresh and healthier than what you get in the stores.

I LOVE gardening!! I used to have a little one in our front yard at our old house. I planted tomatoes and some other things. We don't have one here in the place we live now. Its very disappointing.

@KrissyCakes09 . Sorry to know that you don't have a space for garden in your current residence. You must be missing your garden. I too plant tomatoes along with few other veggies in my garden.
Do you have some space indoors to grown some indoor plants? When I was in Japan, I had no space. I used windowsill of my kitchen and room for some small pots. I grew some easy to maintain plants and herbs in them.
