Well it lives in our garden, but it has been here ages so no not really. It is a shared garden but as we live on the ground floor we get to use it. Plants grow, we don't usually have much to do with helping them in our garden.
I have a little garden in my yard, but it doesn't grow things very well, even with help! One out of eleven strawberries that I planted sprouted, even though I used compost and all that good stuff. Somehow, two squash plants grew, and I didn't even plant them. They must have been in the compost. They grew huge, but they aren't producing much in the way of squashes. I think it's finally time to accept that gardening just isn't my gift.
Weeds always grow well. Lol the garden at my dad's place you can't STOP things growing. Chuck seeds in the ground and a few months later tons of plants. Lol there are raspbery canes which are hmm let me see about 50 year old and still get an insane raspberry harvest.
Oooo, I love berries of all sorts. I did plant a few bushes when I first moved here, but after a few leaves sprouted they all died. I have the same luck with goldfish. I was afraid to get a dog because I couldn't keep the lower life forms happy:) But the dog is nine years old, now, and I don't know if she's happy or not, but she's not bad off for a dog her age and size. I'm glad we ended up getting a dog--getting a child might have been a bit scarier without having done okay with the dog, first.
:) Goldfish aren't as hardy as easy to keep as most people think. They get some really ikky diseases and they aren't the easiest creatures to take to the vet!
No, they're not. We tried a beta, too, because I had been told they're practically invincible, but it only lasted a few days. When I was a kid we had all kinds of cold water fish, and they seemed to do fine. We sometimes had trouble with the wild caught fish eating the goldfish, and the crayfish cut up a few before we let him go again...but those bluegill really could live through anything. I once found one laying on my carpet, completely dry but still taking an occasional breath. I stuck him back in the water and he was perfectly fine. As an adult, all I had to do was think about changing the fishbowl water and the things would float to the top.
Nice picture... was pleased with that.
