Garden Journal in April

The sun is one of the centers of life for living things, humans, animals and also plants. Nothing can live without the sun, even if artificial sun cannot replace it. From that example, I realized that living things actually need each other, each other.

Humans need the sun to live as a source of light, UV, and many other things that I can't even mention one by one. So because of the sun, humans can move, need food and life. Human food sources? Consisting of animals and plants. Forming a complex cycle.

Like me and hydroponics, or even vegetables and fruits that I am fighting for in my garden. All are interconnected like a key and a lock, so there is no gap between them. Like me and hydroponics which are related, I need vegetables and they need me to live, almost every day we communicate. There are many things that are done such as sowing seeds, checking the temperature, fertilizing and watering during drought. That is the definition of needing each other.

Not only that, I need them to stay alive. Seeing hydroponics and various plants in my garden makes me believe that every creature has the right to live well.

This is my first garden journal in April. This month really went by so fast, I enjoyed this month with many things because of the Ramadan event that passed in March and Eid Fitr in early April which made it seem like everything was going very fast. Do you feel it too?

I even forgot many things in my garden, many of my plants grew without me. For example, like this spinach, it grew quickly and is already very old. There will be many seeds that have started to appear, large and hard stems and leaves that are increasingly dark green, the leaves that are starting to be as wide as the palm of my hand.

I didn't realize it even happened. This Wednesday I started working again in my garden. I have to take care of them again, but two days ago I harvested water spinach and there was nothing left. Everything was taken by traders in the traditional market at a very good price.

Of course, our lettuce was also used up for consumption during the Eid Fitr event. Need fast food, lettuce is the solution for that. Salad is a good way for Eid amidst the crowd of guests who come, that's why I always plant lettuce 1 week before Ramadan. Helping us to prepare for Eid Fitr in welcoming guests which is quite time-consuming and tiring.

This April is really good with the weather, it's been sunny for a week even though it rains sometimes. The rain is short like watering the plants so that the dust is not too much.

What a fun April.
