Poll: Gardening

[Shapsters]

Ah gardening, some people find it to be the most relaxing thing in the world, others find it to be frustrating and back-breaking. I personally quite enjoy it and find that there are few things more satisfying then eating a vegetable that you planted and nurtured until it was big enough to be devoured. Now a tend to keep it to myself because its considered girly or unmmanly but what do you you guys think? Does the Escapist like to garden? Do you think it should be consider not masculine to garden?

 

[crimsonshrouds]

um how is a garden considered unmasculin?
I don't garden but my dad does and so does my uncle they have three seperate gardens and my dad helps the neighbor with her garden.

I can't AFFORD to garden this year. Everything would just drown in the Washinton rain anyway...

 

[Gilhelmi]

Yes, I started a small garden this year with my favorite fruits and vegetables.

Watermelon, Sweet Corn, Carrots, and Cabbage

 

[Marter]

I do not. My asthma gets too bad if I spend any time trying to garden.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I have 2 gardens. A large full size and a smaller one for squash and cucumbers and such. I enjoy a good hard days work.

 

[AvsJoe]

No. Never have. Besides, I currently do not have a garden.

My step-mom and nana do, my mom occasionally does, and my dad landscapes (kinda close enough) though.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I don't have a garden, but I don't think I would do it even if I had one.

 

[Dapsen]

There is nothing "un-masculine" about gardening. I help my dad in the garden every summer, and I enjoy it. I want my own garden one day, when I'm too old to have any other goals in life but a nice garden. There are a frightening lot of those people 'round where I live.

I watered some flowers today.

That is about the extent of my gardening, really not interested in it.

I garden, I find it hard to find time for it though. My herbs and beets need weeding and they have done for a couple of weeks now.

i guess the diff between having trees and vegetables and having a pretty flower you water everyday whilest wearing a purple hat of some sorts

When one of the tools you use for gardening is called a hoe, I don't think it can be considered un-masculine can it? ^^

 

[child of lileth]

I don't really think it should be considered in terms of masculine or not. It's not very gender specific or anything. I mean, what's the difference between and man and a woman taking care of anything they might grow, flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees, or otherwise?

 

[shotgunbob]

We grow a ton of carrots, my eyes should by like night vision goggles by now.

I think its fun, we won a 300lb pumpkin in Seattle a while back and kept the seeds, so every year we get 20-50 pound pumpkins from our garden

 

[Forgetitnow344]

I hate yard work of any kind. It's not about the labor, it's about being dirty. I hate dirt. Same reason I hate going to the beach.

But no, nothing emasculating about it unless you're a in a bad comedy where a man who is gardening is wearing a flowery sun hat and an apron that says, "I have a vagina and I blow men."

Trim the hedges and I'll throw in a grand stallion.

Seriously though you'd get much more than a poxy cow for watering my flowers.

 

[Penguinness]

Nope, don't like it. Anything involving grass or plants tends to cause itching all over and it's hard to breathe.
