  A: I’ve decided to grow my own garden!
  B: What?  You don’t know the first thing about gardening!
  A: On the contrary, I have been reading a lot of books about the subject.
  B: Oh yeah?  Tell me then, smarty pants, how will you go about setting up your garden?
  A: Well, first I need to buy some things, such as fertilizer, seeds and tools.
  B: What type of tools?
  A: You know, the basics. A rake, shovel, spade and a hoe.
  B: Right. Well it seems like you have all your bases covered. What’s next?
  A: I’ll till the soil and then sow the seeds. I’ll then add some fertilizer and voila! Gardening all done!
  B: Well, good luck with your garden, especially considering we are in the dry season and it won’t rain for the next three months!
