Secret to Ohio Amish Flower Gardens???

14 years ago

My husband and I visited the area around Sugarcreek, Ohio,

yesterday. Is there a secret to the growing of absolutely beautiful flowers other than the obviously abundant manure?

Do they water every time with manure tea? We never see flowers of this quality in our area.

lol, where are you from?? as in what area?? people around here truly take pride and enjoyment in gardening so most are probably spoiled.. also we do have really great weather here, peaceful.. quiet.. and the rain we get comes with natural happiness and fertilizer that only effects the plants and trees.. downside.. alot more grass mowing lol.. jk.. I moved to Morrow from Middletown and SW Ohio is a great place to garden.. and we are not all Amish !!
