My garden is a gift and blessing from God for me. Every day is a blessing. There will be no satisfying harvest without God's intervention. That's why since the beginning of gardening, I wanted my garden to be my way to do a lot of good. I don't want my harvest to be enjoyed by myself.
This is about what is planted from the beginning in the mindset. Indeed, I am the one who works hard to plant and care for various plants until harvest. But that doesn't mean I have to spend it all. In fact, from our success in caring for plants, there are other people who have the right to receive the harvest from us.
I have a good philosophy. Giving is like cutting a basil plant. Although in general it seems like just throwing away the tops of the plant, the more often we cut the tops of the basil plant, the more the basil plant will grow its leaves.
That's why I also interpret that sharing is a great fertilizer for life. Sharing with others will grow many good things in our lives, even though at first we cannot see the results of the goodness we create.
This time I join the garden theme about GIFT and you can also join the excitement of this theme too.
Do you ever make gifts out of things in your garden?
I really enjoy sharing, so I am very happy to make gifts from the harvest from my garden.
There are several types of vegetables that I do plant in large quantities because they are also easy to grow. Most are green vegetables.
Such as water spinach, pagoda mustard greens, pak choi, also cucumbers and others.
To add a neat impression, I like to tie the water spinach with "fresh" tape that is usually attached to vegetable packaging at the market.
This looks more beautifully, right? I always hope that people who receive gifts from my garden will be happy. At least, I have seen them smile and excited when receiving gifts from me.
Those are the things that ultimately keep me excited about gardening and I hope my garden can always bring a lot of happiness to the people around me. Especially, my family members, and also my neighbors.
By making gifts regularly from my garden, I am also grateful that I have created a sense of friendship and togetherness. In this life, I want no one to be hostile, especially in my neighborly life. So, giving gifts from the garden is very enjoyable.
My neighbors and my family members love to cook. So I am excited to give the harvest from my garden for them to cook.
Hopefully my garden can continue to live sustainably and continue to be able to share with those around me. ❤️🌱🥦
