John and his wife, Sarah, were planning to start a garden this summer. They were looking for a small plot of land where they could grow their own food. They found the perfect spot in their backyard, but they realized that they didn't have any seeds or plants to start the garden with. John went to the store and bought some gardening supplies, but he didn't have any ideas on what to plant. He came home and showed his wife his purchases, but she wasn't interested in planting anything. John was starting to get frustrated. He thought that gardening would be a lot easier than it was turning out to be.
