I grow plants for many reasons—to please my eye, or to please my soul. To challenge the elements, or to challenge my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia. But mostly for the joy of seeing them grow. I enjoy sowing a seed and watching it grow into a full plant, giving some leaves, flowers and fruits which people can consume and address their thirst and hunger. Isn’t it amazing?
