Plants/Vegetable Gardening
So far 3 years in with my new found hobby. I love to watch my plants grow. Especially if when I see a dying plant and can bring it back to life again. I love that I have gained this interest with growing my own food. My family thinks it great and inspiring for my children. Also can save money at the grocery store. My hopes in the future is to expand with a bigger back yard for my gardening with more flowers and vegetables.
