What do you think of Rock Gardens? Do you yourself have one? Would you consider this as a choice? I wouldn’t want all of our acreage as a rock garden but a small patch would be very nice to look at.

Do you like to harvest seeds? What types of plants do you find are easiest?
The flowers I like to grow are also ones I can get seeds out of easily. Cosmos, moonflowers, zinnia, marigold.

Do you have a shaded area? What do you like to plant?
Even though it says Hosta does well, mine do best when they are in full sun.

Plants can help the air quality. When the air is better, we breathe better. Which in turn helps reduce stress & anxiety. There's also something to be said about taking care of another living thing. A plant needs to be watered, fertilized, even talking to it can help the plant grow & help you in the process.
What types of Air Plants do you like to have?

& do you tend to plant it the most? I like purple & pink tones. They, along with red flowers, tend to attract beneficial insects & hummingbirds very well.

Who likes to use rain barrels? Is it illegal in your area? Some places it is. Fortunately it’s not here. How many do you have? We have 5 & I use them for established plants. For seedlings, I use the soaker hose until they get a bit bigger; don’t want to wash them away.
What do you use your rain barrel water for?

Is it something you like the taste of? Or perhaps it’s just easy to grow.
I like having it both ways. Something I like to eat but also is quite easy in growing. Vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes top my list.

Are there any particular trees you have in your area that seem to grow better than others? Do you have a favorite? If so, what is it?
We have a lot of Sassafras trees here. I haven’t figured out how to transplant them really well but I love their unique shaped leaves & how hardy they are. They also tend to grow quite fast.

Do you have a system of when & how you prune? Do you do it seasonally? Or perhaps only when they are in need of it? Do you pay attention to the "rules" of when you should prune? i.e. in the spring or in the fall?
We don't prune that often but when we do, it's more for when they need it rather than a seasonal to-do.

i.e. you make sure smaller ones are in front, larger in back? Or perhaps plant according to when they bloom. Some people plant flowers so that they bloom in order.
