I could say I dont know why you would come into this thread and try to be demeaning but that would be a lie on my part.

Nuff women in this forum who love gardening arent "African" so your comment about it isnt so hard as you thought to get "African" women into the garden is out of order.

What do you have to say to loops, Q.K.. ROOTS, Green Buscuit et al. who love to garden?

Can you imagine a white man making such a daft statement to belittle women?

And then you come with your classism as if class has anything to do with it. I can afford to garden so you nonsense comment about who can produce and who partakes never meet is [censored].

Comparing what we do as a <span style="font-weight: bold">hobby </span>to what you do for living and which is more gratifying smacks only of your preceived sense of superiority that you need to tone down. What I do for a hobby, and which was also Q.K.'s point isnt remotely the same sense of gratification I get from how I make a living.

So it you can leave your pompousness at the door then you are welcome to join this thread. If you cannot then I suggest you find another one to spout your silliness.

And seeing as how my parents did raise me with some class and dignity, I will be polite with my request this time around........ </div></div>
That is why I said women,not black african white European chinese asian, wimply women. That is because it is myu observationthat women loves to garde. What is demeaning about another person loving something I I din't'? My reference to African women was simply because I think that it is unreasonable for the to have the sole duty to produce the food and children,bring it home and prepare it for the whole family.
It always perplexed me why thes women acept such a seemoimgly impossoble way of life.
Amnd then it dawn on me that women really love gaedenning. So i gave my opinion.
As for hobby, when I had one, it use to be driving automobiles very fast ariund a track or on some circuit,with going nowher at all. Then I followed that up with flying thiose small planes from Islam\nds to Islands. Now when I look back at it. I think I was suicidal, but wasn't smart enough to realize it..

</div></div> Why should you be insulted. i respect people who do gardenning, farming etc. It is just that i don't understand why they <span style="font-weight: bold">enjoy it</span> Well until now,since you and Nyla is educating me as to why this is so.

</div></div> That's the difference with me. a good day is averyday that ai watch a patient cries for joy, becaus ethey thought their vondition was hopeless. or whne i have some little kid give me a high five, because they don't know that i don't do hi fives as a means of saying thanks.
That's a good day for me. i look forward to it every day. I even miss it when I don't work. It gives me a feeling of accompolishment. i still can;t get it when my adult daughter c

She actually blames me for that.n </div></div>

Ya know Dudd. I have been reading this thread off and on and am pretty much blown away by the things you have said. Since you stated that you do not love to garden, what on GOD'S GREEN EARTH compelled you to come in a thread about digging in the dirt and attempt to minimize the glory of it and compare it to what you do? This really takes the cake!

Plants are life. If there are no plants there is no life. PLANTS CREATE OXYGEN! The world needs people to farm and plant gardens just as much as it needs those who practice medicine.

Do you really do not think that medicine would be where it is today without PLANTS? I mean, really! There needs to be plants to keep the world alive. PLANTS ARE MEDICINE. People need to grow those plants. Without farmers there would be no people. Hobby gardeners keep the birds and bees happy and the butterflies too. Do you not like those things?

How hard is it to understand that there are different strokes for different folks and everyone's love of a hobby or job is not the same. So you don't like dirt smell. la de da. Don't play in the dirt then! I don't like hospital smell so I don't play in hospitals. easy peasy.

I love the smell of dirt. Especially the aged rich black stuff that once came out of my horses rear end. Speaking of horses rear ends, that reminds me of a story but I'll let that one pass...

GOD BLESS THE FARMERS OF THE WORLD AND THE HOBBY GROWERS!

Can I get an amen.

Re: Loops I bought an Edger

Anyway,

I found pictures of my shrubs when they are in bloom.

The only difference is the pink Asters have been pulled out since they cant play nice with other plants.

So I am thinking some of the dark purple and contrasting white shrubs mentioned should work with the existing color shrubs

Re: Loops I bought an Edger

You and those Peonies

I think I mentioned I move the bushes to the back yard which is now fenced off. Hopefully they will grow better than last year.

Q.K. - yes the pictures were taken at the end of the season. I think

Re: Changing the Front Yard Colors

taking a break from being outside today as it is kinda warm for a change

I have dug an inch trench around the borders now with the edger. This should suffice to prevent the lawn encroachment, you think?

Need a beer in the meanwhile

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Nylah</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
oh I see.

So instead of "edging" you are saying create a small trench around the edges of the border? This is stop the mulch migration? </div></div>

A MEN !! from anudder gardener...planter type person

Re: Loops I bought an Edger

ok nylah....first...i'm sorry i haven't been able to get back here. too much going on with my weekends lately...to have time to upload pics.

ennyways...i managed to get some uploaded this morning.

came home last week to scott edging around the veggie garden. the pics sort of give you the idea...he's taking those ragged edges where the lawn has encroached and cleaning them up...making a nice sharp edge with the edger.

see how here, he just stuck the edger down in to set his line nice and straight. if you're making a flower bed from scratch, i find it helps to take some garden hose or rope and kind of outline how you'd like your bed to look.

then just take your edger and start in...

lift the sod out...and shake as much soil as you can from it.

see how clean the edge looks here? and the slight trench it creates? once you lay mulch down...thick on the edge...that will keep the lawn back and the edges nice.

hope this helps.
