Gardening Annual Flowers
What kind of gardening do you do? I ask because I was watering my roses. I'm on my knees and
drank in the fragrance of each flower opens. After that watered my flower gardens perennials and annuals. Then I watered the veggies and a beautiful newly planted Cabernet Savignon vine that grows on an arbor. Oh how I love the earth! I have fruit tree and bee honey, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. Is there anything that gives you more comfort than the smell of flowers and taste the food garden newly chosen? Yes of course there is the family and health, but for you garden lovers, what you grow and how it makes you feel and how does your garden grow?
I am the son of an old farmer – who turned to civil engineering as a career. Dad grew up on a small farm in southern Utah in the 1930s and 1940s. When he raised his own family, he always planted a garden – in part to teach me and my brothers on liability. Now I have my own family, I still plant a garden all year – I am responsible for vegetables and fruit trees, and my wife is in charge of perennial and annual flowers in the beds. I have peach, nectarine, apple, and cherry trees – with the cherry tree with five different varieties grafted inside .. In the veggie garden, I plant corn, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon and cucumber. Also I have several black currants that are "inheritance" from my grandmother's backyard plants in southern Utah. Each spring I look forward to till and prepare my garden for planting. It took me nine springs for my garden, where the soil is in excellent condition. Women, my flower gardens consist of native water-wise perennials and annuals in areas that receive more water from our sprinkler mist. routinely receive compliments from our backyard, and we also routinely asked to teach neighborhood groups Gardening, pruning of fruit trees, etc. I know my wife's hands are absolutely beautiful – even when they are caked with dirt from his work in the beds.
