I can still enjoy some plants, but with the wonderful air conditioner.
I remember when I was younger, gardening used to be a big hobby of mine. I would spend so many hours just tearing away all of the weeds, putting fertilizer in the ground and planting seeds. I would visit the gardening center almost every week to see their new plants and seeds. My favorite to plant was fruits, because there is nothing more rewarding than watching a plant grow and produce fruit, and taste the sweetness of it knowing you grew that all by yourself. My second favorite was flowers. I always loved the bright vivid colors of flowers, as well as the sweet smell, and I had many flowers of all different kinds growing. Roses, tulips, peonies and even sunflowers. However, looking back, I am not sure how I used to tolerate it. Because gardening takes a lot of work and hours of effort. Not only that, but the biggest issue was the heat. I live in the south, and it can easily get over 100 degrees here. I used to somehow tolerate the heat and keep gardening anyway. I don’t know how I never got heat exhaustion or anything. I must have been pretty tough when I was young. Now that I am older, I appreciate a small indoor garden. I can still enjoy some plants, but with the wonderful air conditioner. Speaking of the A/C system, I have really grown fond of it as I have grown older. Perhaps this is because I am more sensitive to temperature. But regardless of the reason, I like having a cooling machine around. I can now work without the worry of heated temperatures, and plant in the cool air conditioning.
