    1. In houses always a garden.
    2. Yes, eaten freshly picked fruit and vegetables but always cleaned by a wipe with my snotty sleeve.
    3. No thanks. I am not fussed on peppers, well a little perhaps.
    4. A carefully grown tomato by professional growers are just as good as home grown, often better.
    5. South Melbourne Market. Good prices, not too big, a good atmosphere. Prahran Market is closer but has high prices.

  4. 1. Eons ago. We would like one, but really have a small yard. I suppose we could try a container garden.
    2. I'm 99% sure I've picked a cherry tomato from the vine and eaten it. I'm still alive.
    3. I can make great salsa.
    4. Sex.
    5. Cleveland prides itself on the West Side Market. It's ok, but watch the produce guys. More often than not my fruit has spoiled within a day.

  10. I grew a few vegetables in my yard when I was little (radishes, cucumbers, and beans) but never a proper garden.

    I seem to remember eating a vegetable right out of someone's garden once.

    Stuffed Peppers or Sausage and Peppers.

    Very Little.

    Farmers Market Every Saturday. It's fantastic.
