Ha! I find gardening most frustrating, but great fodder for writing material. Like today, I used a paint brush to pollinate my female cucumber plants as no bees are visiting my garden. I was mad that I'd already posted a new blog post. I think one titled "I Just Had Sex With My Cucumber Plants" would have been much more fun than what I wrote. Oh, well. Perhaps if it works, I can write one on being a parent of the fresh pickles in my fridge.<br /><br />See - I'm certain you had a more exciting day than me.Midlife Roadtripperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700277803842883251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-90141840212209657982014-07-16T12:10:48.967-04:002014-07-16T12:10:48.967-04:00Gardening is not for the faint of heart.

And yes, they are definitely NOT wanted. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-12965206734141336122014-07-15T20:39:36.338-04:002014-07-15T20:39:36.338-04:00We rip out the weeds - morning glory and blackberr...We rip out the weeds - morning glory and blackberries. And tend the raised beds, the (one each) pear, apple and cherry tree.

We'd spend every spare minute watering, weeding, mowing and trimming. No more. When I turned 60 I woke up and realized if I wanted to keep my knees, hips and back healthy, something had to give. I've torn out flower beds and sewn them to grass; we let the pasture around our pond grow naturally; and our garden has been reduced to a manageable size, complete with weeds. Hubby and I love it!!Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-27811844796327107062014-07-15T19:26:23.460-04:002014-07-15T19:26:23.460-04:00DH and I are the epitome of lazy gardeners.

DH follows the natural land line and just mows the weeds short enough till it actually looks like grass. When we first moved here 13 years ago, we planted 100 day lilies. Each and every year since then, the deers have eaten every single one. I've never seen a day lily bloom. We've never gardened again.<br />DH just rides his tractor every two weeks or so and mows down every single thing in sight.<br />Looks great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
