Garden is always one of our dating place, one of our family bonding place. Yes you read it right because my husband, me and our son will have a good time in our garden.
Gardening is always part of our family bonding and exercise. We enjoyed being there and we have a different task to do but we always end up helping each other.
One day, our god father gave us cassava stem for planting. He said it is another good variety of cassava. My husband is curious about it so we planned to plant it very soon.
There is a holiday here in our country and my husband don't have work during holidays so it is a great time for family bonding, a great time for gardening.
We went to our garden to plant the cassava but before that we need to prepare the land. My husband do the preparation while I do the cutting of cassava stem. I'm almost done cutting all of them when my husband noticed that I cut it so long, lol. He said that the cassava stem is like a firewood because of its length, lol. But off course it can still be planted hehehe.
While my husband is preparing the land, our son is also busy with his own work which we didn't told him to do so. He is trying to make a hole so he could also plant a cassava but I told him the hole is so near to each other.
When I'm done, we started planting the cassava. Our little one can't stop himself to help. His father teached him the right position of the cassava to be planted.
We planted them one by one, our son is the one to put cassava stem on the hole and I am the one who will plant it. My husband also helped me when he's done.
We still have time when we're done planting so we decided to clean the cassava area that we planted a months ago. We uprooted grass and weeds.
I and my husband works together to make our garden clean and full of plants.
It is so good to see it clean and free from weeds. I also felt happy seeing the plants grows steadily and healthy.
Here we planted the new and another variety of cassava. Hopefully they will grow fast and healthy.
When we planted something, we also expect to harvest something in the right time. We went home that day having two bunch of bananas we harvested from our garden. We felt so grateful and blessed having another harvest. Someday we can also harvest from the cassavas we planted.
Planting will teach you patience while waiting for the plants to grow and bare fruits. It will also give you satisfaction seeing them grow and above all when you can harvest fruits from them. It will teach you to be grateful especially when you are eating the fruits of the plant you planted.
So, take time to plant! Take time to have a garden and do the gardening.
