Share five things you’re good at.

Five items that I excel at are: Computers, Gardening, Sailing, Photography, and Learning. But I don’t want to talk your ears off, so I will just detail a single thing I am good at today.

Green Thumb

I’ve always had a knack with plants.

When I was a child we had a large garden that wrapped around the remains of a boat. I can recall snow peas, sugar snaps, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, and rocket.

We lived in a step-van parked behind a house. The property was surrounded by fields of wheat and a lone apple tree stood to one side near my fathers knife workshop.

Where I live now there is also a garden. It is not nearly as large as my childhood garden, but we still put effort into working the soil and tending the greenery.

I have acquired over the years a habit of saving my seeds whenever I eat fruit. I have successfully grown Avocado and Tangerine trees here in North Carolina, despite the harsh winters.

In the backwoods area of the property I have planted Golden Bamboo and Timber Bamboo, the later of which has come in handy for construction projects in and around our home.
