[quote author="alan" date=1216459820]I love my garden. I grow tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons and fruit trees. Great hobby and home-grown tomatoes are the best.
Rip out that yard and bushes and put in a real garden.</blockquote>
One time, watching my grandmother tend to her garden and being very impressed at her green thumb, I asked if I could have a plant to bring back to my dad's and plant. She gave me a tomato plant. I planted it in the backyard in a random place, and it grew so robustly and it's tomatoes were so gorgeous - my dad was so impressed and was convinced I had a green thumb (even though the plant died pretty shortly after I planted it because we didn't pick the tomatoes off of it)! I spent the whole summer with the chore of watering the whole front and back yard. *shudder* Bad memories...lol. To this day I still kill plants by either giving them too much water or too little. Sigh...I envy your abilities!
