9. I've never been a big gardener until

I actually committed to growing *something*. I've tried a plant here and there, but they failed spectacularly leading me to believe that I was no good at it. I'm pretty perserverent, however and finally, this year I have a tray of fantastic looking tomatoes and cukes to set out, along with my tabasco peppers (first year I have *EVER* gotten them to sprout).

Just being around them makes me feel serene. I think it is because being outside, and getting fresh air has such a positive effect on me.
