To Garden or Not To Garden?

To Garden or Not To Garden (1).jpg

As long as there's a soil, a seed and a space to contain it , heck yeah!

Life is gardening! I can't imagine living without it. I used to live in small places and I've always have something that grows as far as I remember, even if it's a tree or just a tiny cactus in the smallest pot you could imagine. In my younger years, I lived in places where I could only grow veggies and flowering plants in containers and used carton boxes. Imagine mineral water bottles with a sweet potato plants growing in them on window rails and they're not even planted in soil but in wet cotton buds. Imagine them looking leafy, crawling everywhere and are very healthy. Yes, I did that sort of container gardening.

It's not all just glory! There are days I have had backaches and muscle aches which makes me wonder whether my grandma felt that, having watched her spend most of her days in our backyard in the countryside back when I still lived with her and gramps. Unless your a gardener, be a hobby or an expert one, you'll never know how that really feels but perhaps taking a peek at what's my gardening life's like these days could show you.

I practice organic gardening and the most fulfilling stage for me is when a seed gets to germinate. More so - when a lot of them seeds do!

Even though some say I have a green thumb for everything I put in the soil grows, I do believe only God makes plant grow! He, and the other fauna I've encountered that curves a smile on my face while gardening is but a bonus!

So .. tell me, what's growing in, out or around your house? Why do you garden?

I know the feeling. I have the same result with weeds. And that just by watching, don't even have to put a seed in ...

I love gardening too. I love the fact that I can have my own food, fruit on my backyard and I know where it came from and that they are organic and not sprayed with anything.

When I lived in Canada I always had a garden with veggies and some rasberries and strawberries, but now that I live in El Salvador I love the fact that I can have my own mangos, bananas, plantains, coconuts etc because that was like a dream for me to have tropical trees in my backyard.

I love your attitude.
I'm actually growing some salad in my flat (beneath a roof window looking to the south) - I also tried to grow tomatoes there the last years but the outcome was too discouraging.
I have some pictures in my blog. :)

I'm not allowed to use the backyard of the house - or let's say it helps keep things at peace if I don't.

How r u? Has been quite a bit of time. Did you carry the Steemtorch in last three months? I have it in my possession and like to pass it on to you. It is a chain thing with the aim to try to get to more than 1.300 hops (we are at 100 something at the moment) to show we have trusted Steemians in a de-centralised / none-trusted network.
