Last May, a colleague gave me two little tomato plants. At first I didn't know what to do with them, but I finally took them home. My wife was very happy with the idea of harvesting tomatoes in only two months, but I have to confess that I wasn't as convinced as she was of the success of that new experience but, in spite of that, I planted them in two pots.
After two long waiting months, we have eaten the first tomatoes. I have to tell you that I had forgotten the real taste of this vegetable. Its taste makes me think about the holidays my family spent in the farm of a friend of the family where all kind of fruits and vegetables were harvested.
After this successful experience, I couldn't remain crossed-arms, so I have bought, what is called an urban vegetable garden table. It's a wooden made table with almost two square meters surface to cultivate. I'm looking forward to planting lettuces, cauliflowers and onions which is what I've been told it's
suitable to be planted in winter.
If the harvesting is generous I might send you something....., Would you buy it?
I'll keep you up to date.

I've always been very fond of gardening. I like looking at flowers, how they grow and smell, but I've always had the same disadvantage, not (to have)(better: having) a square of ground to plant in, so pots have always been my best allies.

Very well done, Vicent. Good job with "it's" and "its". It's extremely common for native speakers to confuse those.
*This is not an expression that we use, but I like the image. Perhaps I would have said "couldn't remain aloof".
**The plural of these vegetables is rarely used. To refer to individual items, we say "heads of lettuce/cauliflower".
ARE suitable
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. I was not sure about 'Crossed-arms' but I wanted to be sure, because I had the feeling that I had read it elsewhere.
