I love gardening too. I love the fact that I can have my own food, fruit on my backyard and I know where it came from and that they are organic and not sprayed with anything.
When I lived in Canada I always had a garden with veggies and some rasberries and strawberries, but now that I live in El Salvador I love the fact that I can have my own mangos, bananas, plantains, coconuts etc because that was like a dream for me to have tropical trees in my backyard.
