Résumé
Capek takes the reader through the year as he lays out his garden, plants his seed, and watches his work come to fruition. In between he talks about the lack or overabundance of rain; the search for space for just… "one more plant"; the battle with the garden hose--which wiggles, makes puddles, and twists itself around his waist and neck; the unfathomable mystery of the green thumb; and concern for his garden while on vacation
