Favortie Garden Stuffs

Favorite Season: Autumn. But I am beginning to like the late Summer months more now that I have some Earth to plant flowers in. I just despise the heat...

Favorite Flower: Deep Red Roses; I generally like all roses.

Favorite Vegetable: The Potato. Preferably mashed, baked or fried.

Favorite Fruit: If I had to choose just one it'd be grapes.

Favorite Insect: Ladybugs

Favorite Tree: Weeping Willow; Weeping Mulberry Tree

Favorite Colour of a Rose: Deep Red

Favorite Vine: Ivy

Favorite Butterfly: Common Bluebottle Butterfly

Favorite Animal with Wings: Butterflies, Ladybugs and Green Lacewings.

Favorite Aspect of Nature: The fact that one is really closer to God. There is something very comforting and relaxing about being outdoors even though you are completely exposed to the elements of nature.

Favorite Scent(s): The smell of rain after a light shower.

Favorite Sounds of Nature: Rain on flowers, breezes through tall grasses, water trickles, water features. My favorite time of day to listen to these things is early in morning before there isn't any "people noise."

Favorite Outdoor Activity: I like walking, I like sitting, I like standing in a garden. Anything to do in a garden is awesome. I even enjoy pulling weeds (when the weather is nice). Gardening is just an extremely rewarding pastime. My favorite, however, would have to be picnicing. *JOY*

Most Important Things In A Garden: Plants! (haha) Serenity, tranquility. I don't think a chaotic garden would be a very welcome comfort. But then again I've never seen a chaotic garden...

Something I Hate About the Outdoors: Poison plants.

Something You Want In a Garden: Lots and lots of water, lots of shade trees and tons strong, hardy plants.
