This week’s question: What’s your favorite part about gardening?






















I love the satisfaction of growing your own vegetables & I love to just sit back and take in all the beauty from my flowers.
I like planting small plants, like my tomato plants and watching them grow, then the flower comes, next is an awesome tomato! I like the time I get to spend outdoors in the garden. It is my serenity garden
eating
I love the fact that I can provide organic sustenance to my children at the same time that I'm teaching them to respect and appreciate nature. The average child in the US is being robbed of this experience. I feel blessed.
First I must say YAY Parksville! And my favourite part is cooking with the bounty!
I'm awed every time at the amazing transformation from tiny seed to full luscious plant. I love all the fresh vegetables but I definitely get an immense pleasure just from watching them grow!
My favorite part about gardening is the rewards of eating the vegetables and seeing my 3 year daughter eat them too. This year she helped plant the seeds and water them everyday. She's excited about how big all the plants have gotten so far.
My favorite part of gardening watching everything grow. Watching it in all of it,s various stages, and colors, and textures. Vegetables are as beautiful as flowers, plus you can eat them, and fresh is always best.
My favorite part of gardening is planting seeds just as my Grandfather taught me when I was a young girl. He may be gone, but he lives on through my gardening. Miss ya Grandpa .
My favorite part about gardening is the design of each area in the garden, pick up clowers and see then every day before i gi to work
I love everything about gardening except for weeding!! I see God in a garden….all I do is plant the seed and He does the rest. The very best thing is eating the wonderful end product….yummmy!!!! Nothing tastes better than something you plant and tend to yourself. What a reward.
My favorite part about gardening is when I am preparing a meal for my family and the convenience of going into our backyard to get the ingredients that make the meal amazing. Knowing that my lil family grew them with love makes is so worth it!
The best part of gardening for me is just being in the garden. I love it! I can nibble on the carrots, pinch a pea pod or two, eat more raspberries than make it in the bowl, and wonder if my daisy's will grow taller than me this year! Gardening brings me great joy!
My favorite part is watching my grandchildren with their little hands in the fresh dug soil and the expressions on their faces when we harvest the fruits of their labor.
My favorite part about gardening is watching for the first veggie to make its appearance, and then to eventually can all the produce.
My favorite part about gardening is enjoying the "fruits" of my labor. Nothing beats fresh picked.
I love to watch the pollinators come and go! Right now bees, small butterflies, and a hummingbird are all visiting my butterfly bushes, and I get to enjoy the show!
My favorite part of gardening is the eating part – love the taste of things you grow yourself!
Eat my own veggies
My favorite part of gardening is seeing the fruits of my labor – whether it's picking a bouquet of flowers to grace my house, or picking ripe tomatoes for my salad, that is my reward for my work. Of course, I love the whole process, from start to finish. I think all true gardeners enjoy it all!
This is my first year gardening, and I love how something new is happening out in my garden every single day!
My favorite part of gardening is weed barriers that really work. Also, watching the perennials come back year after year. I really like fresh mulch on the beds, too.
My favorite part about gardening is the ability to do it. I not the best green thumb in the world however eating fresh vegetables out of the garden is a major accomplishment in my world.
