As I arrive home from the office, first thing in my todos are to check the plants/vegetables, watering, weeding, putting some nutrients. By just watching this vegetable grow day by day help me relax and be calm. The experience it provides make us in connection with nature, as if magic always happen.
In gardening its not always green, sometime they become white or pale which indicate there is a problem with the plant. Presence of insect like white flies/aphids is the most and common problem with my vegetable, they suck the nutrient of the plant. This challenges can be prevented using nature and some insect like the lady bug that can prevent the spread of pest. Another challenge is the weather, during the summer the plants turns yellow and if you miss to water the plants they dries easily. The hotness of the temperature can also stress the plants and wither them. We need to improvise by putting a shade or cover to lessen the impact of the sun.
With all the challenges seeing them bearing fruits is most enjoying part and it culminates when you prepare them for food to be serve in the table. Thus, it helps us economically and have safe, healthy food to consume. And some time sharing the produce with neighbour gives us joy.
Happy Gardening
