Description I've had that garden in the back for about six years now. I didn't plant that garden to sell anything, I did it to show the kids. I'd ask them, "What kind of plant is this? How does it grow?" I taught them to make things grow. Those kids that come from school don't know how to take care of plants. I taught a lot of them. - Mikey Nuñez
