    I like to eat that which I cannot easily buy like slow growth tomatoes.

    Gardening is my livelihood, but also my hobby. Gardening is also stress relief. I've never not had a garden since I moved out on my own, even if it meant just growing tomatoes in containers and some hanging flower baskets.
    My vegetable garden seems to get bigger each year and so does my pantry. As long as I'm able to I will have a garden.

    Owen Noah, I love and appreciate your reasons for gardening.
    Your lineage no doubt extends from the Garden of Eden.

    Indeed, being with nature does blot out these
    human woes.
