My favorite hobby is gardening. I love to spend the winter thinking about what I want to plant, and placing my orders in the late winter. I enjoy cleaning out the beds in the spring and finding the little shoots coming out of the ground for another year. I love to plant annuals in my containers. I love to wander out in the mornings or evenings just to see what grew since the last time I was out. It amazes me how fast some things grow! I don’t like to pick bouquets, except for other people for special occasions. I think the flowers belong in the garden! In the fall, I even like cutting things back and preparing the beds for their winter’s sleep.
