It was a pleasure reading your reasoning for Gardening.
Great list Paul. I also enjoy the early morning hours in the Garden.

I garden because it's a great way to be closer to God and His creation... also because it bring life's trials to a new perspective...

Good job, Paul.
What you have said seems to be
What I am going to say.
But here I'd like to add one more W for you:
Why do I garden?
Because it helps me warm up
In the long cold winter
In the up northland.

Yes, Paul...Gardening is great...and as Jianhua tells me often in our conversation ...Gardening is good for a elder like me. Heheh..you are not a elder yet..but..it keeps my DH...and I going. Digging in the dirt..smelling the clean air..is great..Keeps our hearts young . And helps for the winter blahs, to pass quickly.
I know..it makes you happy to share your knowledge too. It brings interest to the young kids today..

Smiles.. Diana

In the garden I have found escape from negative thoughts. I can ONLY think good thoughts in the garden!

I garden because it gives me a BEAUTIFUL way to express the artist in me. I get to repurpose things to become whimsical Garden Art that makes me smile!
