Speaker 1
Hi Ricky!  Hope everything is going good with your son and the car dealership is doing well.  
Speaker 2
Hi Ptosis! Sadly the car dealership I'm working at is in a bad condition right now. I might need to start looking for a new job. My son is doing well, he's at a difficult age though. How is your son?
Speaker 1
He is well! He starts 3rd grade next year! How old is your son?
Speaker 2
He is turning 13 this month. He complains a lot every time my wife ask his help to tend the garden. 
Speaker 1
Oh! My son loves to garden with me! We are growing lots of vegetables right now!
Speaker 2
That's so nice! What vegetables do you have in your garden? 
Speaker 1
We are growing broccoli and green beans right now! What are you growing in your garden?
Speaker 2
We have lettuces, potatoes, and carrots, and trying to start with Kale. My wife tends to the herb garden in the corner, but I don't quite get what's in there.
Speaker 1
That's great! I love kale! Hopefully when it is warmer we can grow some more fruits!
Speaker 2
What fruits do you have in mind? We grew tomatoes before (if they counts as fruits), but the demand is low for that in my family we so stopped growing them.
Speaker 1
Tomatoes are a fruit! My family doesn't like them much either! We grow strawberries in the garden and we also have a peach tree!
Speaker 2
Right? I also count them as fruits but my friends keep protesting and I gave up on that. Tomatoes are tomatoes, whatever they classified as. LOL. Is strawberry hard to grow? I'd like to try that.

Speaker 1
How goes the gardening? I know you said you were trying to grow some kale
Speaker 2
It's great! Good exercise and sun, and then there's food after it's all done!
Speaker 1
Yes, that seems like a good deal. You get all that in one.
Speaker 2
I usually listen to music while gardening. Do you?
Speaker 1
Yes, I like to listen to music when I garden also. When is your sons birthday?
Speaker 2
It's actually on Christmas! He kind of gets robbed it seems...
Speaker 1
That is funny. At least you can make his presents for both.
Speaker 2
When is your son's birthday?
Speaker 1
My sons birthday is in  April. How long have you been married for?
Speaker 2
15 years! I can't believe how fast it's gone by!
Speaker 1
That is crazy. They say time goes fast when you are having fun. How do you like being a cars salesman?
Speaker 2
It's a job. I think I'd rather be a farmer but land is so expensive. People will always need cars though, I think...

Speaker 1
My strawberries are starting to come up, any luck with your vegetables?
Speaker 2
My lettuce is growing strong and looks like it will be ready soon. The others are harder to tell. How are your peaches?
Speaker 1
They're looking great. They're a bit labor intensive and finicky but I think I've got the hang of it now.
Speaker 2
That is good. As a vegan do you eat a lot of the things you grow at home?
Speaker 1
Oh definitely! It makes life a lot easier because the produce at my local grocery store isn't the best. The California weather must be perfect for growing all kinds of produce.
Speaker 2
That is good. I was thinking of becoming vegetarian and but I do like barbecues food. What do you normal eat at barbecues?
Speaker 1
These days there are good plant-based patties that I usually look for. Before it used to be veggie burgers, which wouldn't be so great usually.
Speaker 2
Yes, I have noticed there is a lot more vegan and vegetarian options available in the shops now than there was before. I am thinking of growing black beans, the ones they use in the vegan patties, but my wife doesn't want me to use the last veggie plot for them.
Speaker 1
beets are also pretty good for making veggie patties. Does your wife like beetes?
Speaker 2
Yes she does. Yes, I may recommend that to her. She likes beets in her salad so she might like that option. What about radishes? Do you think they could be used?
Speaker 1
The texture might be a little odd, but roasted radishes are really delicious. I could see it working.
Speaker 2
Ok. I will keep that in mind. Thank you. What is the things that your son likes to plant in the garden?

Speaker 1
My son likes growing blueberries. What vegetables are your favorite to grow?
Speaker 2
Nice! And they are so versatile. They are both a quick snack and make delicious muffins and pies! I liked growing tomatoes. I would pull one off and make a mayo and tomato sandwich right then and there.
Speaker 1
Tomatoes are also great! Have you ever thought about growing pumpkins? They actually make for great soup.
Speaker 2
I have not! I bet they do. How long do they take to harvest?
Speaker 1
They take up to 6 months to produce fruit but I think it's worth the wait! Do you guys get a lot of sun there?
Speaker 2
It is fun to watch things like that grow. We get tons of sun in one area of the garden. Where do I buy the seeds?
Speaker 1
You should be able to buy the seeds at any gardening store. There should be a few around where you live, right?
Speaker 2
Yes. I usually get my seeds at a farmers market, but I have never seen them have pumpkin. I have seen butternut squash. I will grab some of those next time.
Speaker 1
Oh, that's strange. Maybe pumpkins don't grow well there. So have you been cooking much recently?
Speaker 2
We made a great stew with our potatoes and carrots the other day. I would offer you some but it has beef in it. From the farm nearby though. I think I have even met the cow before!
Speaker 1
Oh, that sounds tasty. I could probably replicate the recipe but replace the beef with tofu or vegan beef. I love hearty stews!
Speaker 2
You are more than welcome to some of our harvest to make a vegan stew! We have plenty.
