I'm just now getting into gardening out of necessity. I have yet to find any enjoyment in it, but perhaps when I finally get my yard to the point where it isn't the worst in the neighborhood, I'll find some satisfaction in my efforts. I hear gardening is helpful in relieving stress for some, but for me it just adds to it!

Be careful and I hope the end result is worth it for you!
