In my adult life, I have been bad in keeping the houseplant alive. Two years ago, I was too ambitious and ended up disappointed, but there was a difference last year. Though starting this won't be perfect at all.
I will definitely make mistakes, probably a lot. Some vegetables may live and some may be eaten by bugs, but I am going to start it and finish what I started. I hope to reap some good things for our family, just with a little bit of work, sunlight and luck. And also get some fresh air while exercising.

So for those that are yet to start or desperate to, here are some reasons to Start a Garden!
