Time flies really fast and I thought that it's not the end of February yet but when I woke up this morning, the announcer in the radio said that let's start this first day of March productive and I was like huhhh. I immediately check my calendar and yes it's true so I had to move forward and think of what to do to make my first day a productive one.
Before doing executing the plan that I thought, I accompanied first my father in the field as he applied fertilizer in our rice plants. It's been two months already since it was planted and I can see that they are doing good so far. I'm really hoping that we have a bountiful harvest of rice this time.
As we go home after he finished the task. we passed by a garden by the road and for a moment we were because it's so fun to watch the vegetables planted along the road plus the great view of the blue sky and the mountain in far away.
This garden is owned by the unlce of my mother and he is a farmer also.
He planted a lot of squash and ladies' fingers at the side and it's just amazing to see his ladies' fingers bearing fruit even if they are just that small. A different variety of it that I want to plant hihi.
A good habit of mine everytime I encounter an awesome plant, I want to get my hands on it also and plant it. I'm lucky enough that our neigbors here are very generous when I asked something I want to grow hihi. The perks of having good neighbors at the same time a gardener or farmer.
After passing by that garden, we passed by also to my mother's garden and I noticed that her papaya is already bearing fruits and there's a lot of it despite it's height.
Wanna have this variety also, she said she asked it from my grandfather.
Also her string beans are looking good and this variety is the one that will not need poles to climb. It just bear fruit just by ny growing big and stays close to the ground. Her corns also grew in a good state and for sure it will bear many. Wanna have it too because I'm not able to plant last time huhu.
Those are the gardens that made my half day great. Now moving on to my garden, I noticed that my banana or saba is already good to harvest. So I get the ladder made by my father to cut it down when my father volunteered to do it.
He climb the ladder and cut the banana stem as shown in the photo. It's against the light so please bear with the photo. My bad. He successfully cut it and here's my banana or saba. This one is used toe have turons and other dishers that itvolves it, mostly snacks.
A bountiful harvest on the first day of March is giving me the motivation to do better in my garden.
So I thought to make them happy also by cleaning off the grass besides them whicb competes in sucking nutrients.
I did it this afternoon when there's a shade in the area because it's an ideal time to uproot those weeds in my garden. My ladies's fingers also grew good and they are starting to have permanent leaves already. Plus my string beans are ready to climb their poles so I put up their poles also.
While taking some photos of what I finished, my cat Amanda is stealing the spot hihi as you can see in the photos. It seem she likes to have a part in my garden things also.
With gardening, the bond between my pets also grows stronger as they just stay by my side while I do it. They give me inspiration also everytime I see them, I want to feed them the foods that I personally harvest from my garden to make sure their health is in good shape.
Gardening and farming can do a lot of things in our life. Believe me because I'm already experiencing those.
So....
-Plant,plant and you'll survive.
