Patience

Gardening teaches you patience. There is no instant gratification --- unless you buy a blooming plant and plunk it in the garden, which doesn't happen at our house. I start with seeds, or possibly small seedling plants, and spend the spring and summer nurturing them and coaxing them into blooming and bearing fruit. Patience is a hard lesson to remember, but my gardens remind me.
