Who has a garden and do you do it yourself or have a gardener? does anyone grow flowers or vegetables?

I only have a balcony, so a gardener for a pot plant and a hanging basket would be a bit extravagant! My parents have a gardener - lazy sods

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

I admire a well kept garden and i love to see lots of bright flowers. I don't have a garden where i am at the minute.

I have a garden but I am very lazy with it.  Nothing grows very well because the land used to be sand dunes and you only have to dig a little way to find the beach!

I don't think I'd be a good gardener but I would give it a go and plant some flowers if I had a garden

Those people with hills at the back of their house are obviously uphill gardeners.


Mine is flat.

I have quite a large back garden and in the summer I like to make it look nice with flower beds and tubs and the grass cut at least weekly.

Oldspice do you have trees in your garden and do you have roses? My mam has roses and a lovely honeysuckle bush that I can smell as soon as I enter her garden in the summer. She had an apple tree but had it cut down cos she got sick of kids trying to climb it.

We have a plum tree and an apple tree but they are a bit weedy. I love rose bushes but my husband does not want us to have them! We have a beautiful clematis and shrubs. I like bedding plants and plants in tubs because you can change them every year and get a different look.

Oldspice have you ever eaten the plums and apples from your trees?


Minty your garden sounds beautiful and you must be green fingered. If I had a garden I'm afraid I would need a gardener because I'm unsure of what plants can go next to one another.Do you have any unusual colour roses?
