Well its Winter time so i think about my plants and my garden allot i get all down in the dumps not being able to go out and dig in the dirt and experience the sun on my head so i was think what is it that really make me want to bake in the sun have hands that look like they belong on an 80 year old guy I'm old but not quite that old lol go to bed tired ever night well its the beauty i think the symmetry and the love of watching things grow and change and the rewards of knowing i helped although slightly as its God that dos the real growing but he doesn't mind my assisting i think!? so the question i put to you all is what is is that attracted you to gardening in the first place was it you parents or perhaps a grand mother or dad for me it was my mother she wasn't a terribly successfully gardener but she did do a passable job of roses and my first plant was 2 long steamed American beauty rose that i got when i was just 6 years old to the best of my knowledge they are still alive to this day and I'm 46 now i could just sit and look at them every day and this learning to prune them and mound the dirt up on them in the winter to keep them from freezing i was hooked and i never looked back i had 7 years i lived in a apartment with no yard that was hell but the first thing i did when i moved in to my house is dig all the yard up and start planting living here in Nevada has been ruff relearning all that i thought i new about growing green things but its been fun sorta like growing up all over again and when something blooms in the desert you can bet your sweet (&%&$) that people take notes particularly if its not your typical run of the mill Palm or Cati. so post your stories its a good way to introduce your self and don't be afraid theres nothing you can say that i would find strange or uninteresting ! and im talking to the guys as well this is you chans to clue us in on who you are
