Flower and Garden - Worthwhile Facts
Flower and Garden - Worthwhile Advice
I was what you would call an armchair gardener. It's not that I didn't have the drive. When I lived in a house with my parents when I was a teenager, I remember having a flower and garden area that would rock your world. I grew some of the most beautiful daisies and some of the freshest tomatoes that could exist. Then I lived in a small apartment in New-York, I had almost no room at all for my personal effects. Have something growing was impossible.
Everything changed when I moved to San Francisco. I went to a SF flower and garden show, and was blown away by what I saw. You see, San Francisco has a unique climate. Almost everything that can grow can grow there. It is bright enough for plants that need a lot of sunlight, yet there is enough precipitation for plants that need a lot of moisture. It is not too cold and not too hot. It stays almost the same temperature all year. In short, it is the perfect temperate climate.
Because of that, San Francisco flower and garden shows are notorious all around the globe. There grow some of the best and brightest flowers, the freshest fruits and vegetables, and the most striking gourds that you have ever seen. All the flower and garden magazine profiles them each year, and each year is better than the last. When you go to the flower and garden show in San Francisco, it is almost impossible to not become obsessed with the idea of growing something on your own. The plants are so superb, after all that, how could anyone resist? For my part, I simply couldn't!
Of course, going to a flower festival or reading a flower and garden magazine, is one thing. Starting a garden on your own is another. It seems so easy to do in the magazines, but it is not easy! Actually, I forgot how hard it was. I do not remember the amount of work that went into my flowers but I sure remember the way that they looked when they were in full bloom. Having a few scattered tomatoes and flowers is one thing, but having a nice groomed garden is another. I had such unrealistic expectation from the flowers and gardens show that disappointment was inevitable. Nonetheless, I did have an impressive flower and Garden display after a few years. I was growing plants from all around the world! Who would have thought few years ago. Not me that is for sure.
