How Does Your Garden Grow? is Better Than Ezra's third album and their second with drummer Travis Aaron McNabb. It was released on August 25, 1998 by Elektra Records.

Though critically-acclaimed, the album was a relative failure commercially, only peaking at #128 on the Billboard charts. The first single, "One More Murder" scraped the bottom end of the Billboard Modern Rock charts, while the second single, "At the Stars," performed better, becoming a Modern Rock and Adult Top 40 hit. A third single, "Like it Like That," failed to chart.

Following the release of How Does your Garden Grow, Elektra dropped the band.
