Gardening may be fun for some - and less for others.  Before we had a garden, I was sure that gardening had to be the greatest fun.  I would dream of having my own house and little garden.  In my mind, I would separate the garden into sections, which would each be lovingly created.  I knew that I would enjoy building a rockery corner with different herbs.  I would collect rocks from different places and arrange them in one corner of the garden.  Then I would choose different herbs like basil, mint, thyme and rosemary to be planted among the rocks.  In my mental architecture of the garden I decided that I would plant a couple of rose bushes.  Almost forgot - but fruit trees are a must.  For my dream garden, I chose a lemon tree and an almond bush.  I would have a honeysuckle bush that would climb along the fence and provide a green wall to the outside and a lovely scent.  For years my imaginary garden was all planned out, but unfortunately non-existent.

Then suddenly things changed.   We bought a house with a little garden.  Now I would at long last have the opportunity to create and landscape the garden of my desire.  But that meant actually getting down to some physical work.  Even though my garden has been planned in my head for years, suddenly gardening does not seem like so much fun any more!  In the meantime, we just have a whole lot of sand and one solitary rose bush.
