We all have hobbies. For some, spending hours and hours watching one after another the episodes of their favorite series is the most, for others, go out to taste new dishes, walk the mountain, or various types of collecting (insects, stamps, coins ..) Sin However, although the heat is already tight, this is a good time of year for all those people who are passionate about gardening or, in general, growing things.
