I think we agree. Making a garden is the only way (for me) to tolerate living in either a concrete or a natural jungle. Well, I suppose I could tolerate the penthouse suite in a very tall downtown building, even without a garden, in a city if I never had to go down to street level. I guess there would have to be a helipad though. And I could never tolerate the intensity of a natural tropical jungle with the bugs and snakes and stuff without making a clearing and gardenizing it.

But why ? It just makes sense to live in the countryside without either extreme, and where gardening is so much easier.
