Cooking and gardening involve so many disciplines: math, chemistry, reading, history.
If I’m in the country, my big idea is to do nothing. It means talking, it means cooking with the leftovers in the fridge – l’art d’accommoder les restes – it means gardening.
Cooking, decorating, diet/self-help and gardening books are guilty pleasures and useful time fillers.
I’m huge on spring and summer gardening. I’m really proud of my perennial beds. That’s a passion of mine.
From my earliest memories, I loved the farm. My grandfather was a charter subscriber to Rodale’s Organic Gardening and Farming Magazine and had a huge, well kept garden with an octagonal chicken house in the corner.
The biggest obstacle to good gardening is the desire to know the answers and not the questions.
Gardening has just sort of grown on me. I find it therapeutic. And I like smelly things.
My partner loves gardening and beekeeping and chickens and all that stuff.
I like to encourage people interested in gardening or planting to begin with a simple herb garden. Even if you live in a small apartment, you can have some herb pots.
I think we all have a dream of what it would be like not to work and grow heirloom tomatoes, and I do have that dream. It would be lovely. I do love gardening and all of that, but I do love my work.
Gardening is not my thing. You’re digging in the dirt, and then a couple of months later, something happens.
I just think that gardening is about the future, a slow thing, that is deep and spiritual as well as spiritually rewarding.
I grew up at my grandmother’s house, and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you’re a kid. I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens.
I have to keep up with the scientific literature as part of my job, but increasingly I found myself reading things that weren’t really relevant to my academic work, but were relevant to gardening.
Rock ‘n’ Roll, no roses or gardening.
My hobbies are cooking and gardening, especially growing orchids. I love soccer, my husband and I support a British team called Chelsea, and I also enjoy tennis. We have 3 cats.
I don’t hold that everybody has to love fashion. Some people like gardening.
I’m not surfing much anymore, but I love hiking and gardening, and I’m always wearing a hat and sunblock.
I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there, doing my own thing… getting back to reality.
I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens. I can not bear gardening, but I love gardens.
Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ.
I am a particular fan of integrative exercise – that is, exercise that occurs in the course of doing some productive activity such as gardening, bicycling to work, doing home improvement projects and so on.
I am not quite Martha Stewart, but I do like cooking and gardening.
I have an armchair interest in gardening, but I don’t like to get my knees dirty. I don’t have a garden.
It’s my observation that gardeners and gardening for a very long time have had to take a back seat. Architects are very famous; they’ve got huge projects. What goes on in and around them has been relegated to a very minor role.
