Question

I became a gardener when I was twelve. My early   36  of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature. It was to   37  my parents.

At that time, we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple tree stood. But my mother often looked with  38  at this work of natural art. Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her, “something else to   39  !”Seeing the neighbors busy with gardening, my father even thought it a waste of time.

At that age, I always did something   40   to whatever my parents did!If gardening were something they found  41  , I would plant a garden!

I planted some lily(百合花)seeds in the yard. But they failed to   42 . I continued to plant sunflower seeds and roses. Wild  43 joy, I found the first rose bloom(开花). One by one, the flowers bloomed their heads off. 44  , I was touched by this land of wonder.

  45 , my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even   46  at me because he found it was  47  to move around my garden to the driveway. To my mother’s   48  , I put in her vase my real roses which, in her eyes, were simply weeds 49  flowers.

Regardless of their   50  , I kept on planting my garden and  51 to enjoy the pleasure of gardening. Plants make such good companions: they breathe, they bloom, they   52  to care and love.

It has been many years since I made my first garden out of my desire to  53  my parents. Today I become known as Mrs. Greenthumbs, teaching gardening and hosting a gardening show, which makes my parents feel very   54  . And now I could say it is my affection for  55   that makes me a real gardener.
