I used to enjoy gardening immensely. When we lived in Seattle, we won yard of the year twice in our local suburb. I also raised tomatoes to put myself through school at Iowa State. As a transplant patient and dealing with immunity issues I am now banned from extensive gardening (fungus, particularly here in Arizona) though the new locale proves challenges in what you can and cannot plant, too. What I miss the most is my fingers in the soil. If I do garden it is with gloves and a mask...and sun protection. Not as much fun as it used to be.
