Reflection: "He who sows has the right to reap", my pepper crop

in #hive-1143082 years ago

Hello friends, this weekend I was happy to see the fruits of my pepper crops, actually, my grandfather was right when he said; "He who sows has the right to reap" The truth is, my grandfather always liked country life, he was passionate about plants, telling them that when my grandfather ate a fruit he immediately kept the seeds to plant them, I remember once, in December, my mother went to look for my grandfather to share Christmas with us, at that time I was 7 years old, well friends, the truth was that on the 24th of December we all ate dinner and while my grandfather ate the grapes, the seeds were separated in a glass to sow them in the field, I remember that at that moment my uncle told my grandfather that those seeds were not going to germinate because the grapes are born in cold climates, my grandfather immediately responded with the phrase "The seed that is not born is the one that is not sown"

Well friends, after that Christmas, two years passed, and one day we went to the countryside to visit my grandparents, and while there, my grandfather told me that if I wanted to eat grapes, I immediately said yes, so he took me to some fences of wires and a beautiful grape plant had climbed there, from which bunches of purple grapes hung, he immediately asked me a question: Do you remember those grape seeds that we ate that Christmas? He said: "Well, son, those grape plants are from those seeds."

So these two phrases from my grandfather remained fixed in my mind, and they have been two phrases from which I have learned that in order to reap, you must first sow, and this is valid not only for agriculture, but for all the things we do. .

Two months ago I planted peppers and the plants are already bearing fruit

Yes friends, two months ago I started planting paprika, and in a few days I will start harvesting, I'll tell you once, 5 months ago, my wife had bought some paprika in the supermarket and I saw those fruits so beautiful that I decided to extract the seeds to sow them on my farm, I did so and I kept them in a bag, but the bad thing was, that the months passed and I really forgot those seeds, until my wife asked me about those seeds, and I looked for them in the bag and there they were, thank God they were still healthy, that is to say that the insects did not bite them.

Well friends, when I took the seeds out of the bag, I immediately remembered two phrases from my grandfather "The seed that is not born is the one that is not sown", really the seeds saved are not they grow, you have to sow them, the other phrase said: "He who sows has the right to reap" Both phrases are related, because if I don't sow the seeds they will never grow, but if I sow them, they will germinate, grow, give fruits and I will be able to harvest them, so I felt motivated by these phrases and decided to sow these seeds that I could extract from those fruits, just like my grandfather.

In these beds I sowed the seeds to produce the seedlings:

Here are the seedlings 25 days after sowing:

Plowing the land:

I had to prepare the land with an agricultural tractor, since I needed a good portion of land to sow approximately 1,200 pepper plants:

Well friends, I hope that my grandfather's two sentences serve as a reflection for you to sow your seeds, if you don't like agriculture, sow good things among your family, like love and you will reap love, greetings.
