"may" wrote in message ... Hi, i am not a gardener as such ,but i am slowly becoming addicted to clematis , if i see one I JUST HAVE TO BUY IT so i think i may have the bug.[...] Gardening and shopping are not at all the same thing. If you think that buying things willl make you happy you are doomed to misery. Why oh why does this newsgroup attract so many miserable sods. Take no notice May. I have bought many things that make me very happy. My house and garden being at the top of my happy purchases list. Sitting here looking out of the den winnow in between working on the computer I can see a whole array of shrubs some of which I bought whilst shopping, they also make me happy. I may have bought the original tiny specimen in a pot, but it was me that decided where to plant it, how to prepare the soil, when to feed it, when to protect it, and how to prune it into shape. So come on everyone lets hear your "makes me happy" garden purchases, and drown out the miserable sods. Mike (very happy today) |

I have bought many things that make me very happy. My house and garden being at the top of my happy purchases list. Mike (very happy today) Gardening is mostly happy purchases. Especially plants which have been nurtured from tiny plants or seeds for many years into magnificent plants. My "happiest" plants were ones grown for free from seed - a huge phormium, some amaryllis by cross pollination and some oak trees I grew from seed at my fathers house forty years ago. Many others too. I'm now watching with delight a Gunnera Manicata bought a couple of years ago as a small specimen, it is up again after the Winter frosts and probably won't be many years before I can shelter under its huge leaves. That is the joy of gardening to me. -- David in Normandy. To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the subject line, or it will be automatically deleted. |

Mike (very happy today)[/QUOTE] thank you for that, i thought it was me , i looked over my post and thought i must have said something to offend , but couldnnt for the life of me see what i did to offend anyone . so i am glad to see that there are some happy people on here such as yourself . i am only just getting into gardening over the last few years and only just started to post in gardening forums . so gardening is new to me ,and the forum side of it too. so i am on a steep learning curve in more ways than one . |
