From a Seedling to A Fruit

Hello everybody my first time to write in this wonderful community. 🤗😊 It's also because last month was the only chance we got to plant not on our garden or soil. Me and my family lived on a place called water world. And as a year older on the Blockchain of Hive everybody saw the situation on our house. An enormous flood is surrounded to our house. It's been years since we lost the opportunity to plant. Even the farmers are disappointed because of the results of their land. They also said that fishing cannot replace their income on planting rice crops. But what else we can do? It seems that it's already written on our path. 😊😅 Nature had decide so we need to do it the different way around 😉

I'm lucky even though my hands are not quite good in planting. There's a kind of belief on our country that when you're hands are hot or cold. The plant will live or die, and mine was the hotter one. I don't know everytime I've tried before the plant will not survive LoL 😅😔. My husband and his family is a farmer before I met him. I saw in my own eyes how hard they work together on the farm just to eat and survive. We've been 20 years together and my ex-boyfriend 🤣😜 will plant vegetables even we're studying together as High school. He used to bring it to her grandma to sell it.

He is very resourceful when it comes to planting, fishing and even making babies lol 🤣😆. We already have four kids 17 years old a girl grade 12 taking up GAS or General Academic Strand. A consistent honor student next is 13 & 8 years old boys grade 8 and 2. And the youngest baby girl 4 years old studying as day care student. And they all loved to eat veggies 😊. We thought them to eat what we can bring on the table.

Let's proceed to our borrowed garden, it's not actually a garden it's a vacant place. My aunt is our neighbor she has a small vacant home along then high way. She rents it for the others and because my brother occupies the place they both plant on the vacant spot, instead of being an empty soil.

Bitter gourd

After one month and 10 days here's how it look likes. It's like everyday I'm reminding my son to check on the plants. While my husband comes home every five days from Manila. Before riding to our boat he'll check his little garden. Not all of them are fully bloom, others are just staring and they all looked amazing. See the building on the photos that's the high school that's were me and my husband graduated. And now we already have two kids that also study there.

I will cooked pork sour soup that day so we went to our garden to get some healthy freshly picked veggies. The proper way of getting this green leaf is cutting in the edges. I let my 17 year old do it because I already done when they where young. Picking fruit from the plants is the best thing ever.

Watering the Plants

That's my son Geoff you'll often see him here because his the apprentice of his father lol 🤣😆. Plants need love,care like humans because they also breathe and feel what we feel. The difference is we need to eat them 😉

Thank you so much for reaching till the end 🔚
Much Love, @usagigallardo015*
