It is no secret that Matt loves the outdoors. Anytime he gets a chance, he is fishing or hunting. Another outdoor passion of Matt's has been gardening. He has planted several gardens since I have know him, and every year we have been living in this house, he has wanted to plant a really big one. This year he planted: corn, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, ocra, squash, watermelon, pumpkin, carrots, peas, beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. A BIG garden. He has spent many a nights tending to the garden, and though I complain about how much time it takes up, I do enjoy fresh food.
