Comments on: Trees in the Kitchen http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/2007/11/trees-in-the-kitchen.html Gardening isn't a hobby, it is an obsession Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:02:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Corinna http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/2007/11/trees-in-the-kitchen.html/comment-page-1#comment-1566 Corinna Wed, 05 Dec 2007 21:21:41 +0000 http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/2007/11/trees-in-the-kitchen.html#comment-1566 Couldn't keep myself from smiling when I read your article. Why is it always husbands? -- We have an arrangement: my dearest is allowed to use the lawn mower and nothing more in the garden; and my job is it to protect anything that comes in its way. In fact, I've infected my son with this indoor-tree disease. He is growing an avocado, which has almost reached the ceiling and makes it hard to open the window in his room -- causing his father to mutter under his breath when he enters. So much for plants bringing harmony into your life. ;) Couldn’t keep myself from smiling when I read your article.

Thank you so much for writing this. I must share it with others that need some insight into the gardeners soul. Oh girl you have hit the nail on the head. Thank you so much for writing this.

Any with that logic, I can never understand why people (non-gardeners) do not understand. Melanie - Support group? Of course there is. Master Gardeners of America. I just can not wait till I have the time to become one. Dave - I have run out of room as well. I am still hoping for the greenhouse to enable me some more. OldRoses - A cat just knows its place in the command chain, eh? Mine are the same way. My stupid one will try using my plants as litter boxes if he feels I have stepped out of line. *grrr* Kylee - "I like growing things" is the best reason of all. Muum - I will have to remember that line when my kids start to complain (which is inevitable) Robin (Bumblebee) - Wow! I love that setup! And te color of the room is awesome. My seedling (when I can get the to survive) are also given space in the kitchen. We do what we must, eh? moonroot - We are not alone. Never alone as long as we grow what we love.

As I write this, my light garden is lighting my office, which is right inside the front door where most people would have a "sitting room." The desk is a bit cramped because I have to have room for all the plants in their winter home. Come spring, they move outdoors to make room for the seedlings. Convenient? No. Designer chic? Definitely not. You can see it here: http://bumblebeeblog.com/journal/2007/4/15/seedling-seedlings-everywhere-041507.html Great post! --Robin (Bumblebee) I have to smile.
