    I started flower gardening when I was still living in an apartment, but my parents let me start a garden in their back yard. The first ever flowers I grew were bleeding hearts. I loved them so much, I grew nasturtiums and morning glories, as well as Tulips in the same year that year. I loved that the tulips and bleeding hearts came back every year.

    I am a far better flower gardener than I am a vegetable gardener, I'm not going to lie lol. I did transplant my bleeding hearts to my new house, unfortunately one looks like it isn't coming back but the other is flourishing and has red buds on them already!

    Wildflowers. That was my first "flowers" I ever planted.

    I was probably about 6 years old. My parents gave me zinnia and marigold seeds to plant in rows in the vegetable garden. That sort of set my "style" (lol) for growing flowers.
