I love going outside. Every day there is something different just like the first time I saw the garden. It was just around the block but nobody had seen it. I can't believe that people could miss something that big. My name is Mario and I am 12 years old. I am Italian and my greatest passion is cooking tomato pasta. I usually cook pasta with garlic so I decided to plant it. I went outside that day. My mother told me to not plant garlic in the summer because garlic is a winter food. I didn't listen and planted the garlic anyway. I, now regret it because when it first came up it imediately dried out and died. When I first discovered this a man named Sam came over and made me feel better by talking to me and making me laugh. He said that I could use the dried up garlic as compost for the next batch in the winter. I now know that almost every mistake can benefit you.
