Flower and Garden - Valuable Advice

I was what you would call an armchair gardener. It's not that I didn't have the drive. When I lived in a house with my parents when I was a teenager, I remember having a flower and garden area that was out of this world. I grew some of the most beautiful daisies and some of the freshest tomatoes that could exist. It's just that, living in a small New York City apartment, I had about no room at all for my belongings. Growing anything was unthinkable.

Then I moved to San Francisco and everything changed. I was very surprised by what I saw when I went to a SF flower and garden show. You see, San Francisco has a unique environment. Almost everything that can grow can grow there. It is bright enough for plants that need a lot of sunlight, yet there is enough precipitation for plants that need a lot of moisture. It is not too hot, and it is not too cold. It stays almost the same temperature all year. In short, it is the ideal temperate climate.

Because of that, San Francisco flower and garden shows are notorious over the globe. They have some of the best and brightest flowers, the freshest fruits and vegetables, and the most impressive gourds that people have ever seen. Every flower and garden periodical profiles them each year, and each year is better than the last. It's quite impossible not to be obsessed with the idea of growing something on your own when you go to the flower and garden show in San Francisco. The plants look so splendid, after all that, how could you resist? I just simply couldn't!

Of course, going to a flower festival or reading a flower and garden magazine, is one thing. Starting one on your own is another. It seems so easy to do in the magazines, but it is not easy! But if you are passionate, you will forget how hard it was. I remember the way that my flowers looked when they were in full bloom, but I do not remember the amount of work that went into them. Having a few scattered flowers and tomatoes is one thing, but having a neatly groomed garden is another. I had such unrealistic expectation from the flowers and gardens show that disappointment was anticipated. Nonetheless, after a few years, I did have an impressive flower and garden display. I now grow plants from all over the world! Who would have thought few years back.
