Wow impressive. I'm remembering my young age as well. We live in city and options for us to have gardens is very limited here. But we used to have a well and a small garden. Later our house was extended and built.
I used to visit my birth place Neyveli where the opportunity for gardening is very high. Even now my aunt lives there and is my favorite spot especially for the greenery. I hope some day I'll move to a house with gardens. It is one of my dreams.
