01:19Even though she's busy with work,
01:22Don and Aurora's family now have the opportunity
01:25to hold their regular family gardening sessions.
01:29Aurora really influenced me about gardening
01:34because after a few months, we're already harvesting.
01:38And here are some tomatoes.
01:40Here are the tomatoes of the day.
01:42They're not ready yet, maybe in a week.
01:45Even the kids, he loves watering the plants.

02:30this was my dream job.
