Ready To Gossip?
Do you want the local dirt? Then look for a neighbor with this sign in their garden. They might not tell you what people are up to, but they will tell you which soil to use for which plant.
It is true though; even beginner gardeners should learn the difference between clay and loamy soil. If you happen to gossip while working on plants, that’s good too. Gardening can be a community activity, and it often is.
It’s Mostly Waiting
This sign lays out the steps of gardening in a fun way: put down soil, water the plant, and wait. Most of gardening is waiting and hoping that your plants won’t die. Even houseplants can stress people out as they wait for them to grow.
If you plant seeds, it usually takes one to two weeks to germinate. And you can’t even see what’s going on until it sprouts! That’s a lot of waiting and wishful thinking.
