Once again it's time to delve into the personal lives of our celebrities and see how they garden. This week we caught up with Forrest Gump (aka Tom Hanks) to see if we could dig up some dirt on the guy who knows how to run.


G4D: Thanks for your time Forrest. Tell us a little about your garden including your current highlights and lowlights.

Forrest: Well... gardening is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Just the other day I planted some carrots and they turned into broccoli.

G4D: Really?

Forrest: Unless?.... unless I was looking at the wrong vegetable patch?

G4D: You have more than one vegie patch?

Forrest: I'm not sure... they all look the same after you've been running for a couple of days.

G4D: Okay. Let's talk out your garden. If you had to pick one piece of outdoor furniture to have in your garden, what would it be?

Forrest: A hammock.

G4D: A hammock! You sure there's no other piece of outdoor furniture that you would like to have in your garden?

Forrest: Maybe a BBQ for all those shrimp.

G4D: Nothing else crosses your mind.

Forrest: Nup!

G4D: Not even a garden bench?

Forrest: Nup! There's one of them down at the bus stop. If I wanted to sit in one of those I'd just as soon go down there and do it.

G4D: We saw a couple of shots in the movie of your garden in Mississipi how's it going now?

Forrest: Well it's not really my garden. My nana got that garden growing I just walk around and keep it neat.

G4D: Well thanks Forrest and all the best looking after your nana's garden.

Forrest: Oh.. it's mine now. Nana passed away and left it for me to look after...

G4D: Great. We'll meet again some time...

Forrest: Why don't you stay for a chocolate?
