私はの趣味はがガーデニングで、またトマトを食べるのも好きです。
数か月前にトマトの苗を植え、それがますますどんどん大きくなっています。
近いうちに収穫できるのを(or 収穫できることを) 楽しみにしています‼
Corrected
No problem
(1) personal pronoun of 私 in Japanese is as follows:
Subject "I"→私は/私が
Possessive "my"→私の
Objective "me"→私を
(2) Gardening in Japanese is "ガーデニング"
*I think this Japanese-English is the most difficult for foreigners to understand...
(3) "look forward to verb+-ing" in Japanese, we usually say "～することを楽しみにする"
In writing with "～です/～ます", you can say "～することを楽しみにしています"
When we say "～するのを楽しみにしています", it's more casual explanation.
For example,
Case 1: Host family in foreign country send me the email and says "we are looking forward to meet you!"
→In this case Japanese translation "あなたに会えることを楽しみにしています" is more basic. (because they have never met yet)
Case 2: An old friend sends me the email and says "I'm looking forward to meet you !"
→In this case Japanese translation "あなたに会えるのを楽しみにしています！" might be more natural since they already have the close relationship.
