GilAskan spooky_sez GilAskan I've always enjoyed gardening, but it's been a fairly simple enjoyment. I don't use fertilizer, I've never built a greenhouse or any structure to help them grow (save for lattice on which vines can attach), I rarely prune. I enjoy putting down seeds and letting them grow on their own, giving them only water and some protection from rabbits and the like. I enjoy growing (in ironic polarity) low-lying and very tall plants, particularly ivies and grasses. I also enjoy growing pumpkins, tomatoes, and some simple flowers. That sounds fantastic! I'd love to see some photos.Winter in Michigan... they'll all be covered in snow until April. I'll take pictures when I can.
Yeah, I vaguely thought of that razz Summer here!

NekoYasha09er spooky_sez tears_of_blood_452 I love gardening, but i can't plant anything outside. But owr livingroom window is filled with ivys and cactus and I have a huge aloe vera plant. Cool! I love all of those!
We had two aloe vera plants a few years ago. If we got sunburned we'd just cut off one of the plants arms, slice it in half down the centre and rub it on! Then we'd just chuck it in the fridge. I loved those plants. So good for your skin! xd
(sorry for the double post)
My mom had an aloe vera plant over the summer. She got because my sister had an accident and she put the juice on her wound and it healed up nicely. I miss that plant so much it was so squishy.
Yeah, I put it on little cuts and grazes too. Aloe fixes all!

spooky_sez NekoYasha09er spooky_sez NekoYasha09er I love gardening I just wish I had more time for it.
I used to have a mini garden at my old house that had violets, marigolds, some random green bean plants, and a butterfly bush. Sadly when I moved I had to leave them behind but lucky for me the new house already had two huge butterfly bushes and a lot of violets.
My favorite flower would have to be any kind of lily (not because lilly is my middle name like most think) and the oriental lily you posted is so very pretty. I'd love a butterfly bush! Are they hard to maintain? They don't look too difficult to take care of.
And thankyou! Aren't lilies the best? They're so beautiful!
(My Dad used to call me Lily, still does sometimes, because when I was younger I couldn't say my middle name- Elizabeth- properly and the way I said it kinda sounded like 'Lilybut'.)
They are not that hard to take care off. Just basically plant them and make sure you water them regularly and they bloom. It's just that if you have a deer population you might want to fence it for a little bit. Those darn deer love that bush. But once it blooms they stay away.
Your welcome. Lilies are the best.
(Awe that is such a cute story) No deer in Australia! xd
You are so lucky then. Those blasted deer eat almost everything. *sniffs* They ate my violets but they hate marigolds which is a good thing.

Teehee! That's bad luck. The only things that eat our plants here are goats that get out of people's back yards.
