Well
MY daughter had no interest at all in the garden when she was a
youngster, but graduated first to growing pot plants after she got
married and from there gradually developed into an outdoors gardener.
Now in her 40s she is as passionate a gardener as her mother (and that's
saying something!!)
She is coming from South Island on a visit this weekend to celebrate
both our birthdays (which occur close together in early August) and you
will not have any difficulty guessing the main topic of conversation!!
