0:06.9	wouldn't even have to pause before you start answering with fresh food, preserved food, the joy and
0:14.1	delight of watching things grow, mental health, exercise, family activity and memories. We all know the benefits of gardening.
0:24.8	The more we get into it, the more we understand them. But what about the sacrifices of gardening?

0:36.8	about. I think we all know that gardening
