Any gardening people out there?

Does anyone get into gardening as an addiction? I love it and can't wait for Spring! I have a Hosta collection of about 200 and many, many, many perennials. I hand dug 2 ponds and have a stream running between them. My upper pond has goldfish that breed like rabbits and the lower pond has Koi, BIG BIG Koi. I also have many frogs that love to sit on the ponds edge when it is warm.

Anyway, my first appointment is tomorrow and I am so excited I can't wait.

I was wondering if there were anyone else that loved working in the yard.  I have dug a little gold fish pond and Im gonna work on the water fall and creek bed this summer.  I have my garden planted too  want to see some pics....

I would love to see some pictures. I just took these yesterday. I have didided my perennials and Hosta and am getting ready for my annual plant sale. Heck, how do you add pictures here?

oh wow i have been on OH for 4 years and is the first time i have found some gardeners that sound serious. lol....see my web site down above my signature.
We have 3 acreas of nothing but flower beds , pathways and ponds, this year we put in a huge veggie garden too. even tho we dont eat all of that im putting it in the freezer and i sell some of it at farmers market.  
Glad to meet the two of you.....i guess im addicted to gardening too. so much so that my husband built me a green house so i can even garden in the winter lol
during the winter beside my chair is a stack of seed catalogs , i usually get anywhere from 30 to 40 catalogs from different companies....i guess they get the names from each other lol
Any way would love to see some of your pictures of your gardens and all about you all and where you are from etc  etc. 
Im 68 had surgery when i was 65 (the beganning of my new life) that is when my gardens really expanded. lol with all the new found energy.
I make my own compost and mulch. i plant most all of my annuals from seeds and transplant in the spring to the gardens.
I have sun gardens,and a shade garden.  where i have lots and lots of hostas but mostly all the same two or three kind, do you have 200 varieties or 200 plants?
well ive rattled on long enough i guess , im just so excited to find gardeners.

I am one week post-op and was on here looking for people I can connect with. Gardening is my favorite hobby, so thought I'd check it out. I'm in Zone 8 and have a little over an acre in a wooded neighborhood on a lake. Lots of hard, packed clay and lots of sand. I'm great at growing things, but terrible at design, so it's taking me far too long to accomplish what I'd like to do. I'm wondering how much longer it will be before I'm able to get back on my knees in the garden.

myself i wasnt but about 2 weeks out from surgery and i was back in the garden....pulling weeds and taking care of things that needed tending...
i have lots of ideas  and get lots of flowers given to me to do a lot of them but just dont have the ability to get it all done. lol ....my email address is [email protected] if you would like to email me....

meant to tell you all that the web site that is down by my name is my site for my pictures. would feel priviledged if you all would go look at some of my pictures.....

I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow and I have had good energy the last couple od days. As far as doing anything in the yard, wait. Just bending over can cause you discomfort. I have been cutting things down in my stream that have gone crazy. Some of my plants are past due for pruning and I have been catching up on that, but I take a break very frequently.

How are you feeling since surgery? Are you doing ok on liquids?

I love perennials, especially Hosta. I have been gardening since I was a little girl, but didn't realize it was a passion until I met Rosie when my daughter was in a stroller. Rosie was a kind, sweet loving 72 year old neighbor that I met and instantly became friends with. She taught me more than gardening and making good soil. Rosie taught me love, compassion, patience, and generosity. I became a Master Gardener in my community and eventually the President of my local garden club. www.nordoniahillsgardenclub.com  I have a plant sale every year in my back yard which helps pay for my mulch, plants and whatever else strikes my fancy. It is nice to know there are others who share the same passions.
