I was what you would call an armchair gardener. It's not that I didn't have the drive. When I lived in my parents house when I was a teenager, I used to have a flower and garden spot in the backyard that would rock your world. I grew some of the freshest tomatoes and some of the most beautiful daisies that could exist. Then I lived in a small apartment in New-York, I had about no room at all for my belongings. Growing anything was not possible.
Everything changed when I moved to San Francisco. I went to a SF flowerandgarden show, and was blown away by what I saw. You see, San Francisco has a distinctive climate. Almost everything that can grow can grow there. For plants that need sunshine, it is bright enough, yet there is enough precipitation for plants that need a lot of moisture. It is not too hot, and it is not too cold. It stays almost the same temperature all year. In short, it is the ideal temperate climate.
Because of that, San Francisco flowerandgarden shows are known over the globe. They have some of the best and brightest flowers, the freshest fruits and vegetables, and the most remarkable gourds that you have ever seen. All the garden and flower magazine profiles them each year, and each year is better than the last. It's quite impossible not to be obsessed with the idea of growing something on your own when you go to the flower and garden show in San Francisco. The plants look so superb, after all that, how could you resist? I just simply couldn't!
Of course, going to a flower festival or reading a flower and garden magazine, is one thing. Starting a garden on your own is another. It seems so easy to do in the magazines, but it is not easy! But if you are passionate, you will forget how hard it was. I do not remember the amount of work that went into my flowers but I sure remember the way that they looked when they were in full bloom. Having a few scattered tomatoes and flowers is one thing, but having a neatly groomed garden is another. I had such unrealistic hope from the flowers and gardens show that disappointment was inevitable. Nonetheless, I did have an impressive flower and Garden display after a few years. I was growing plants from all over the globe!
