I've gardened for the last 5 years in Eugene and feel there is lots to learn from plants.  I agree very much with Charolette that it is a great way to reduce stress and cultivate patience (forgive the pun).

One of my favorite and most rewarding things I've planted are strawberries.  I planted a patch appoximately 15' x 6' 4 years ago from bare root stock and around june can harvest about 2 pints a day!  The most delicious berries you've ever tasted!  I can't even buy from the store anymore - I just have to wait for berry season.
