I am more of a farmer than a gardener
I farm rice,corn,lentils, mustard, and vegetables. I also farm fruits such as mango, guava, pears,lyche etc.
I also have a small flower garden

Propagator. I love to start and grow things from seeds and cuttings. I love having a greenhouse. I do plant most of what I start.

I don't know how I would define myself as a gardener. I'm still only relatively new to it all...I would say I've been gardening with enthusiasm now for about 5 years. My ultimate goal is to be self sufficient with fruits, veggies and herbs. Right now space is a factor for that. So I guess you could just call me a beginner!

I am actually a harvester of what my husband plants in our garden. The backyard is full of vegetables and fruits. We have no flowering plants except in some pots And I enjoy checking the garden to check if there is something to harvest. This afternoon, I picked 2 star fruits which are already ripe. They are the best star fruits in town so I don't give them away to neighbors, I just have them for myself.

I consider myself a propagator too, however, I don't have a greenhouse. I just use any available area around my house. I don't mind buying a few plants here and there, but there's nothing like starting from seed to me. A few years back, my kids used to bring home seeds from fruit they had eaten at lunch. I thought it was such a sweet thing for them to do considering I never asked them to save them for me.

I'm an indoor gardener. One day my apartment will turn into a jungle, because I can't stop myself from buying new plants:D
Currently, I grow flowers for their looks and sprouts for their wonderful taste:)

I guess if I have to define myself as a gardener, I would be more of a vegetable gardener. I love to grow and harvests all types of vegetables from zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. This year my family and I are really going to expand our vegetable garden. We want to grow beets, onions, garlic, horseradish with the same vegetables we grow every year. I also love to grow herbs in my garden as well. Basil, mint, rosemary, parsley and oregano. I just being outdoors in the sun, tending to the delicious vegetables that come out of the earth. It really is the most relaxing thing.
