Oga, please next time you want to ask people questions, make it short enough for people to be able to reason it out, it will take a century to even read the question to the end...how much more to answer it! Delete the question or answer it yourself and prove to us you are smarter than a five year old..heheh

I would have suggested this to be the answer:
Hank - Apple, cherry, pear and lily
Sam - Onions, cherry, rose and tulip
Paul - Carrot, gourd, onions and lily
Luke - Nut, pear, parsley and gourd
Zick - Pear, rose, tulip and lily.

But I noticed that your question is faulty. Reasons:
* Luke cannot be the first because whosoever has the first garden must have 3 fruits - Apple, cherry and pear. It was stated that Luke has exactly 2 fruits.
* if Luke is not the first then he cannot have cherry or Apple. The only two fruits left are nut and pear. Meanwhile, pear is for the two gardens at the border which Luke is not one of.

That is what I could come up with. I stand to be corrected.

Make I hear say any 5 year old fit answer this question. Its too long n very incomprehensible.
