I love gardening too it's amazing watching a plant grow from a seed into a big beautiful Abudance of life and I love how precise each movement of a plant is each leaf. My favorite Plant is an angels trumpet whats yours I've actually got a small garden at my dads which I've been growing for two years but now my dads going to move so I'm going to lose all that hard work. It was nice listening to your inane ramblings do you have a garden

It's difficult to have a year-round garden where I live, but during the spring and summer I have a small one near my window. I like Dwarf Jade Bonsai plants. Oh and Narcissus flowers. I like to have narcissus flowers outside my window. The Dwarf Jade Bonsai plants are good year round if there's lots of light. I hope to have a small lean-to greenhouse when I move.

I agree it's hard to have a year round garden especially in summer in Australia it gets way too hot. It's actually really hard because I'm only at my dads two days out of fourteen. One day I hope to have a large bit of land with a small country cottage and a huge garden full of native plants oh and if I talked to you every time I wanted to talk about plants weds be talking forever and always

I know what you're saying. I think I've driven my family insane with my plant talk haha
Around how long is the growing season for you out there? Where I live it changes every year but it's roughly from April to September depending on when it starts to frost. That's why a greenhouse would be best for me. Nice regulated temperatures year round, and when it warms up I can plant them outside for a couple months.
I'd love to have a nice plot of land in Australia. All the gardens I've seen out there are so beautiful. I live in a near snow desert haha; no outdoor gardens for long. The only downside to Australia is that there's no true French communities. And the distance from home. Oh well...

Well my growing season for me cause I love herbs is opposite yours it's from September to April so spring to the start of autumn I guess it is different around the world. It's autumn now so only my perennials are growing but I think there beautiful enough. There's actually a plant that I love so much I cried when it was killed by a frost ( my dads fault for putting it outside ) it was called a coleus flame dancer it was a small leafy bush that had green leaves that we're rimmed with red and was so amazing so I'm going to get it back. Do you have any plants you absolutely love? Also my family is insane cause of my plant talk. But it sucks because they don't care about plants and won't help me or even pretend to care about it that's why my gardens are small cause I have to spend my pocket money on seeds that always disappear When they sprout. I suspect snails ( I ramble on a lot especially when I'm interested in something )

I'm sorry about your plant... I had some lilies that were killed due to an early frost a few years ago. It was horrid. My family doesn't really care either. Yard care is my job, that's why I have any plants outdoors. In Canada it's early spring still. It snowed just a week or two ago in my region. So no outdoor planting for any delicate plants yet. Unfortunately, the earths a little too cold. Any day now it should be ready to start. I think I'll get some indoor plants in July for my new room, as my family is moving. I also tend to talk a lot about things that I'm interested in haha

I've been meaning to put plants in my room they really brighten things up don't they? But last time I did I got plagued with tiny bugs that bit me at night so now u just put cuttings in vases and my bowl ( the bowl Is a bit weird but it's really pretty ) from what ive heard of all the snow up in Canada your greenhouse idea would be great . I make makeshift ones out of bottles to keep my alive through winter here it's freezing but probably nothing to what your winters are like. We should be friends on here so were not clogging up your blog so much what types are you going to have indoors im trying to figure out my plant species because it was a wild plant once
