GARDENING English people like gardening. They talk about it in their offices, factories and at home. In the evening they work in their gardens, large and small, and they do it in any weather. They grow flowers, vegetables and fruit there. If an Englishman has no garden he grows something in a window box outside his kitchen. If you want to please an Englishman, be very polite about his garden. Perhaps, he will show you his garden and tell you about it. So you will listen to it and say, «How nice!» or «How interesting!».
