Why do you garden? I started gardening when I was in high school because I wanted fresh vegetables…there is nothing like a fresh tomato or the taste of a fresh cucumber. And then I tried my luck with roses. Then I started mapping out and doing alittle landscaping…it just became very addictive and although it was relaxing and fun it is really a lot of hard work if you want something really nice. And then I moved out of my parents house after college and 2 years later…all my hard work was destroyed by the law mower and weed wacker
