First I typed the title as "Grow your own vegetables" and quickly erased it as I understood that it is not so simple to do so. I agree that growing every vegetable that we need is not very easy, but we can grow a considerable part from the vegetables that we need.

I am not a person that likes to do activities outdoor. I prefer being indoors. But I love to see fruits and vegetables in the plants in my garden. So I wanted to have some crops in my garden. My family has already planted many plants and they are giving us a lot. Some of them are winged beans, chillies, pineapple and papaya. But I wanted to make a beautiful well-managed garden with my father with many crops. So I bought some seeds earlier. I specially bought the plants which easily grow here such as snake gourd, bitter gourd, ridge gourd and long beans. Though I bought them, I was so busy that I could not start them because of the exams.

And now the exams are over and I started the work with my father. We are lucky to have enough space in our home garden. But we had to clean the ground before doing anything. So I and my father cleaned the ground in the first few days. It was not easy on the very first day. I have gained weight therefore it was harder for me to work continuously. But anyhow we managed to clean the garden.

Next, we dig some holes in the ground. We had waste parts we had after making cinnamon in our place. We know that they are so good for the growth of plants. So we put them and some gliricidia leaves into the holes and then add some soil on the top. I don't know much about gardening but my father told me that we do so to have a good crop.

The next day, when I got up, I found that my father had already watered the holes we made. Then we planted the seeds we had in those places. Now we are watering them and waiting until they will start to come out of the ground. Hope they'll grow well.

I will show you when they will grow.

Thank you for reading! Stay safe!
