You see, gardening for me is very therapeutic and I especially enjoy eating what I grow.

just hanging out with my plants.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul

The feral chickens were no match for me.  I had learnt early to secure my boxes with chicken wire.  Then one Saturday morning I came outside, only to see stalks where I had sweet potatoes growing in a pot.&nbsp; I could not hold back the tears.&nbsp;  This was the last straw for me.  They had already ate all the leaves from my carrots and Pak choy. I was powerless against these iguanas on the loose.&nbsp; I did not know how to protect my crops without building a secure iron fence with heavy metal mesh to keep them out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre

My need to till the soil was unbearable.&nbsp; Before I knew what was happening, I was in the garden store picking up just one house plant to cheer me up.&nbsp; As a result, this led me to <a

it, and that\u2019s how it started. &nbsp;One simple trip became an obsession.&nbsp; I had found a new love and had long given up on the vegetable garden as I was getting my fix elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
