Jakob Kopfeld Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sadly I only have a pot plant in my flat. I managed to keep it alive for 4 months and counting. The pot it's in is probably to small to allow for further growth right now but the plant looks healthy Level 4 Human RangerThe only Way to accomplish greatness is to set your goals even higher.STR: 15 || DEX: 9 || STA: 10CON: 12 || WIS: 9 || CHA: 6Check out my challange Thread (4) Link to comment
newcs Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think I saw one other gardener here. There is something magical about watching plants grow and creating or rather guiding a garden.... I didn't list gardening as a hobby since I don't perceive myself to be very good at it but as a pretty new homeowner, I'm hoping to get better at it At my last rental, I had a perennial flower garden and a veggie/herb garden so once our yard is in decent shape, I'm hoping to get back to it. There's nothing quite like a vase of flowers or bowl of food straight from your backyard.

I am Eve Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Agreed I sow my own veggies in May and start harvesting radishes in a month, it's just magic. And no, I'm not very good at gardening and that's part of the thing. I simply do it because I love it I have chosen to believe in myself. Link to comment

vic-torus Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Gosh, you're all making me excited about the prospect of gardening! There's still half a foot of snow on the ground around here, but I found a peppercorn-sized kale sprout in my dirt-filled shoebox this morning, so I guess it's a start. Hopefully lettuce and spinach will be following soon; after the thaw, I'm hoping to partner with my father-in-law and get some sort of family communal garden started.

Vian Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I build stuff. I've completely remodeled my kitchen, living room and bathroom (the bedroom is next!) with the only help from my dad and neighbor being the plumbing - which involved crawling under the house. I did all the construction inside (including building a new wall and swaping a shower stall for a tub, and some electrical work) all the way to finished. I've also built a couple small glass aquariums, and stands for them to sit on, as well as a stand for my larger 40 gallon aquarium-turned-poison-dart-frog-vivarium. I built the desk that the laptop I'm writing this message from is sitting on. I also sew, and grow orchids (I have about 45 of them) and keep bettas and poison dart frogs.

Nomad Jay Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I recently took up woodworking. So far I've built a two work benches (one for my garage, one for my kitchen) and a coffee table. I'm drafting designs fora new coffee table, and some bookshelves for my office. I'm not certain if it really counts as a hand-on hobby, but I enjoy cooking.

Dimpley Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 So, I have to say that I am super excited that someone other than me crochet's here. I am 29 years old and I feel like a little old grandma because I love to crochet. Although I have no projects going at the moment, I love doing it, it is relaxing. My very first project was a blanket, I have since done more blankets, scarves, slippers, washclothes, etc. Msuroo, you can come to my house and build me a bookshelf like that if you ever get bored.

Gardening is awesome, growing plants, vegetables and fruit makes a nice hobby and is a great experience. Please don't refer to it as magic.
