I am 77 years old. I grow flowers, herbs, veggies in my garden.
I love rock music. I work for a cab company. I work every day I am taking a class on physical education.
How is studying for your final test going? It's going well, I think I'm ready for the test. How's your garden doing, did your herbs and vegetables survive the recent frost we had? Oh good, I'm glad, I hope it goes well for you! Yeah they seem to be ok thanks, Hopefully that will be the last one we have now for a while! Do you spend a lot of your class outdoors? Oh its good your plants are doing well! No, lately it's been all theory... I feel like I've been cooped up indoors for weeks! After my test I plan to spend a whole day out of the house. I might try my hand at gardening. I've always wanted to plant a tree... what is good to plant at this time of year? Oh you could plant a crab apple tree maybe? Do you have a big garden? I love my garden, it really keeps me active and busy. No it's only a little garden really, how big does a crab apple grow to? I don't want the neighbours complaining it's blocking their light... They are pretty small as far as trees go, but if you are worried about your neighbours maybe you could get a dwarf tree that you could keep in a pot? A cute little lemon tree would be nice, great for gin and tonics, haha! I've tried keeping a tree in a pot before, but it always dies... I think I over water it. I really want to plant one in the ground. I'll see if I can buy a lemon tree from the local nursery. Are you entering this years Chelsea flower competition? Go for it, a little lemon tree will be great! Just make sure you can keep it nice and warm over winter. Oh no, I'm not good enough for the flower competition, but I'll definitely be watching to see if I can pick up any new inspiration.  I think you are better than you know, you just need to have more confidence in yourself! You know so much about plants... I bet you listen to gardener's question time on the radio! Haha, I do listen to that when I remember it's on! Maybe I'll do it in a year or so. How have things been with you at work lately, you must get so tired working all the time and studying! Yes you definitely should! True, I am a bit fed up... that's why I'm trying to find something new to do, like planting a tree. Maybe you could come with me to the nursery to help me pick one out?
