So All, I think I've decided to try my hand at a little gardening! Okay, don't laugh at me now! I'm not a girl that liked to get dirty, but I figure it's time to try doing something new.
On the side of my house, there is a pretty good-sized concrete ledge, which is almost waist high! My in-laws recently planted two plants there, without my consent, but I feel I owe it to them, to give them a chance to grow! Unfortunately, one of them has already died, so I uprooted all the dead stuff! Yes, I do know what is dead plant material and what is alive! Anyway, I also cleared the debris in this whole little section; there was dead grass, sticks and leaves there, so I got rid of all of that! So, here are my very beginner questions! This whole area is covered in dirt, but there is only one plant currently growing there. Do I water the whole area? Do I want some grass growing here, or should I continuously clear it away? My thought is that there should be grass there, so it doesn't look so forlorn and barren, with my one plant! So, this is the extent of my gardening ability or inability, but I found it quite relaxing, so I'm trying to think of what else I might be able to put there that I can tend to! What do you do with the waste? It gets recycled in brown paper bags, isn't that correct? Are there any sights I can go to, to get good beginning ideas? If I seriously take this up, , I do not plan to wear gloves, since I won't be able to feel what I'm doing! Claudia
