Exactly how I think, I am not twenty but only 17 years older than you, on my 80th birth day I resolved not to sow or plant any thing that will not bloom in 2-3 years.Heinie wrote:Muhammad,
At 63 I am still planting seeds as I did 20 years ago. I always tell people that my wife has two phone numbers of friends that she must phone when I kick the bucket to collect the plants and share them at the clubs I belong to. No money must be involved because I never sell plant material but rather swaop or give away. You will be surprised how well that works and how fast a collection grows.
My growing is my hobby for retirement which I started about 30 years ago for today. I have a saying that "where money is involved, friendships are ruined".
On a lighter note, I hope you are older than me?
Is this because of loss of faith in life or effort available.??????? If it is the earlier, i will strongly contest it. The essence of gardening lies in the hope that there is tomorrow, irrespective of the fact, if tomorrow comes or not. But for someone else there will be always tomorrow to enjoy our blooms .....And frankly speaking i see a tinch of earlier as you are willing to go for early blooming plants.Muhammad Arif Khan wrote: on my 80th birth day I resolved not to sow or plant any thing that will not bloom in 2-3 years.
For your interest, I think I have already collected enough headache.
Lovely spiritshe planted her last seeds of Clivia two seasons ago before she went to an old age home. That is what I would like to do too no matter at what age I will be called upon.
