“Dad, if you know a hot place in the backyard, that’s where we should put the plants because they like water, they like light, and to be hot,” Emma advised me. At five years old, she is an authority on gardening now. I knew of just the hot place she was talking about. It was near the back door, where she could easily show friends—and where the sight of it would remind her to check it.

Hectoring me while I tried to write an article, she insisted. “Dad, can you please get out your seeds so I can see what I want for my garden.”
