Oh, to have soil to plant a veggie garden in! I'll be making do with a few garlics and tomatos and maybe a couple squash plants along with my decorative flower beds.

Gardens are spectator draws - I'm one of those who must see my friends' gardens every time I visit. Nothing is more delightful than walking through lush and fruitful gardens with the industrious owners of such, marvelling at the green and abundant end result of so much labour.
