[Nfb-krafters-korner] Gardening

[Paulette Vickery]

Hi all,

I've got the gardening bug really bad. I just decided that puttering around
in the soil in containers might be fun. So, I purchased a strawberry plant
growing kit. It has 20 plants, potting soil and a stoneware pot with 6
openings for the plants to come out of while growing. That would be alright,
but I also am a QVC devotey and over the last little while I ordered a Myer
lemon tree for my husband's birthday, a set of 2 dwarf banana trees that
have edible fruit, a peony bush, a set of 9 reblooming day lilies, a set of
reblooming tiger lilies, a set of reblooming not Gerber daisies, a set of 2
baby lilac bushes, a set of 8 begonias and a set of 3 butterfly bushes. Most
of these things will be in containers. My husband has 36 tiny lettuce plants
growing in a plastic green house on wheels on the sun porch and we have an
amaryllis also growing on our sun porch. So, after all of that, I think that
my latest hobby is learning the craft of gardening. I don't know if
gardening is considered a craft at all, but does anyone teach a class in
gardening for the blind, or does anyone know of a listserv for blind
gardeners?
