I see a lot of talk about how Sam’s only temptation from the Ring was a giant garden, and while it is true that he wanted to turn mordor into a garden (because, yes, he is very sweet that way), saying it was his only temptation is complete and utter “Sam’s Imaginary Flaming Sword” ERASURE

The flaming sword quote:

“Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dûr.”
