Do you like to keep plants and things? Are you good at growing them?

I am absolutely not good at this. Fish I can keep alive forever, but plants just die under my care.

Except for spider plants, I had one of those for like ten years once.

I don't like having to take care of things, so I don't keep plants or pets. Except for my cat, because she can take care of herself.

We have a very nice garden and we grow our own tomatoes and potatoes. It's a very enjoyable hobby.

I had a bunch of Bonsai trees, but they all got fried in the sun.

[Bunny]

Ain't nobody got time for planting trout.

[Peegee]

I absolutely adore hydroponics. I has them in my room

[Shlup]

I am quite not good. I'm growing basil and jalapenos and habaneros, but my cilantro and strawberries and tomatoes are dead.

I'm not great - I think if I had my own garden I'd make the effort though. I had a house plant that I kept alive at university. Currently the only plant I have is a solar powered plastic flower which dances when it's in direct sunlight. I'm pretty good at keeping that alive.

My mom is pretty good at this. We usually have several plants growing somewhere in my parent's house all year around. I personally couldn't keep up with it, so I don't bother. Plus, there aren't that many good spots in my place to grow one.

I am good at keeping Cactus. :freak:

[Shorty]

I am terrible at keeping plants alive. I think I give them too much love.

I had an orchid that lived three months once, though. That was surprising since they're supposed to be hard to keep alive.

i'm bad at plants

I've tried to manage a garden with my Mom a few times. Tomatoes and peppers and things! We've only done that a few times, but it was very successful each time. I'm not sure if we'll really have another chance to do that now that I'm living away from home, though.

My family moved into a house that was an old potato farm before us, so we've had plenty of land, but it was all just mud at first. My grandpa lived with us and he was a master gardener and transformed the whole place into a wonderland with ponds, apple trees, babbling brooks and lately a large population of rabbits. And, as much as I dislike how far away from everywhere my house is at times, it is really great in the summer, to have this isolated little garden, and also at night because you get the real darkness without streetlights. Grandpa passed away recently, but left behind his gardening book with all his notes and stuff. Maybe one day I will find that I've inherited his green thumbs, but I've got a lot to learn.

We used to have a pretty big garden at the house we first lived in. We sometimes grow different things like tomatoes, potatoes and beans.

Used to have a mulberry bush and raspberries when we were at the other house too.
