Tending the Garden, Packing the Harvest: Reflections on a Productive Day

in hive-179660 •  25 days ago 

Greetings, dear friends, how are you all? I hope you all are fine and enjoying your day. I wish for you all good health, wealth and a prosperous time ahead. Today I am here to share with you yet another day of my life and I hope you all will get time to read and know about one more day of my life and also find it worthwhile to read and vote.

I started my day very early when the sun had not completely got out of the shell. It was only that call for prayer which woke me up early, and I kicked myself out of the warmth of my bed to be able to reach the mosque in time before the prayers were started. I started my day with a positive and after I was done with the prayer, I left for a walk to help myself maintain a balance, within my body. Because of the food habits we have, I’m so concerned about the calorie intake and usually spend time to help myself burn some calories by walking around the village and going towards the hill side of the village as it offers an onerous terrain which helps us to get rid of some calories in a quick time.
Today I spent some time out in the kitchen garden, which is looked after by my mother from quite some time now, and as I’m not having much work to do these days, I tried to divert some attention towards the vegetables growing in the kitchen garden and tried to know the way of their cultivation from my mother. I had a good time out their and I realised the hard work My mother puts in for makeing the availability of fresh vegetables possible.

I was so fascinated by the growing vegetables all around and the peace I got from these things was unbelievable. After I was done with helping my mother in the kitchen garden, I resumed my duties as a facilitator to the men who had arrived to pack apples in the boxes for the purpose of exporting them later on. I later in the day also tried to know about The skill of grading and packing apples in the boxes without using any grading machinery, and knowing and distinguishing the apples on the basis of their size, merely by seeing them.

My brother had some work in the nearby town and he left home at around 3 PM, after which she told me to stay at the shop so as to cause no inconvenience to the customers who come in large numbers these days for packing boxes and other related items. As we are one of the main retailers of those items, It’s very impossible for us to leave our shop closed for a single day as The harvest season is on and the demand for the items related for packing and exporting the apples is high these days.

Later, in the day, when it was time for the labours to leave I stored the packed apples in the godown, which later on where to send to the nearby fruit market from where they are exported to the nearby countries. As Diwali is near, the fruits are anticipated to be high in demand in the coming days and seeing this as an opportunity, we sent our consignment in the evening.

It was all about my day.Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
