Re: what has America allowed you to do?
You see, to me, a garden is not just grass. A garden constitutes trees, plants, flowers, pavers, fountains, shrubs, possibly statuary, etc all usually laid out in a thought out plan..it's a lot fancier than just grass.

Get two good advanced degrees
Buy a house in 10 years
Learn to love (American) football
Gain a more positive attitude
Learn that sarcasm isn't really that funny

of course there's also the whole plot thing, as in a vegetable plot.

I call that a veggie garden! I've not used 'plot' before. Hmmm I wonder if there's really a diff?
