My name is Brayan Arreola I am 14 years old and I was raised in San Jose, California. My only experience with gardening was when my parents left for vacation and left me the responsibility to take care of their garden. They were gone for about a week and during the week I only watered the plants once. By the time my parents got back most of the plants were already yellowing. Unlike me, both my parents love gardening and grow all sorts of plants and vegetables every year. My favorite fruit they grow is watermelon.
