How does your garden grow?

Shrewsbury - Colin Wright, 8, of Shrewsbury rides his tractor to tend to his garden. His grandfather removed the blades from a riding mower so that Colin could safely drive it around his yard. The garden includes vegetables, flowers and pumpkins, which he waters using rainwater from his own "water collection system."

Colin, who wants to be a farmer when he grows up, aspires to enter one of his sunflowers in the Sterling Fair this year.
