wants it. Usually this will be in the shade, because sitting 

 in the shade is pleasanter than in the sun; and it should, if

 it the gardener have an eye to his own comfort, as well as that 

 of the plants. And when our gardens are more comfortable, 

 they will be lived in more and loved the better.
