I hope Dan is ok that I am posting today's question. He is a rather good natured man with a great sense of fun, so I am sure he is OK.
How Dirty Do You Get In Your Garden?
At this point anyone who has a garden or plants, things should be starting to stick out of the ground! How much garden stuff have you done, and if you have pics, you are welcome, especially folks who have colourful flowers.
I got a little dirty and planted this. thanks to the rain, they are still alive. I have no idea what they are, but I like them.
((((( Warning... the pic was with my cell phone, hence it looks awful. )))))

Some tailess cat sleeps in my garden these days. Not a stray, his owner lives near me. He likes my garden.This thread is currently associated with: N/ALast edited by vesper; Fri, Jun 21st, 2013 at 03:14 AM.

No worries bud, it's not my thread, it's all of ours. We've all had a go at post the QOTD. Search back through the Tea Room pages and you'll see...
the dirtiest i get tending to my garden is a bit of dirt on my hands
the lady and i live in a condo and don't have a 'garden' but we do have a lot of plants.
we line them along our big long window ledge, which helps with the privacy too
we've got a few herbs, small ferns, and a couple of shrubs.
i know we'll have a huge garden one day...when i finally get off my a$$ and by some property out in the countryLast edited by danger_dan; Fri, Jun 21st, 2013 at 09:17 AM.

I wish I had a garden! Can't wait to have a house and have a garden with vegetables and plants lots of beautiful plants!
Right now we live in a apartment but I have a few herbs, and flowers. My cilantro keeps growing and growing..I cut it to use in recipes and within a day it has grown so much...I can't keep up!

You should dig them up this fall and separate the roots into 4 or 5 pieces and replant them. That clump you have will, in a few years fill in an entire 10 foot area. I so miss my garden. I had a wonderful yard filled with the most beautiful hosta's , iris's, lily's, ferns, bleeding hearts and number other perennials and annuals. Now, since moving to the condo because I was unable to keep up with the house and yard work I garden in pots. This year I didn't even put out any pots because of all the rain, everything would have drown

I'm in a condo, so no garden. Can't even keep plants alive here (must be that black thumb of mine...or is that the dog's? ). In other words, I'm squeaky clean.

I love gardening! My kids and I planted a veggie garden again this year. Our strawberries have been turning red these past few days and are absolutely delicious. We also have pumpkins, peas, green beans, beefstake tomatoes, zuchinni, cucumbers and green peppers. I've got a few flower beds with hydrangeas, dahlias, lilies and a few impatients etc. vesper, your iris are really very pretty - one of my favs!

Me? Gardening? Eek.
Here are my forays at keeping any sort of greenery alive... I've killed bamboo by not watering it enough. I've killed cactus by over-watering and the roots rotted. Two summers ago, I had a beautiful basket of hanging flowers on our front porch - looked like the death flowers you'd see in a horror movie to signify the land was no longer sacred. The only thing that saved me was those water globes. Last summer I got those for my hanging basket and it worked. I could remember to fill those up, but otherwise... Nope.
It's funny though - I should be good at it. My paternal grandparents own a farm. My maternal grandparents have amazing gardens of every veggie possible, including 900 lb pumpkins. My Dad makes my parents house look inviting with flowers and landscaping. And I kill everything...

i try really hard to be dirty, really i do.
i like my dirty side to be exotic, a little off the norm. the more interesting the better.
i don't like it when it is totally normal and plain, just like everyone up and down the street.
i don't check out the neighbors and their dirtiness too often, i'm just not that type of person.
sometimes my neighbors share the fruits of their dirtiness with them, and i share with them. swapping is fun, i recommend it!In 2020 I had 100 FREE Grocery pickups! Subscribe to PC Optimum Insiders & get 25,000 PC Optimum pts

Ok I am sooooo dirty that after I work in the garden the water in the shower runs black.
I am always doing some project or another and I have "work clothes" that could get up and walk away on their own
I think this year has been my dirtiest ever !!!
