gardening
Posted On 2009-03-12 , 7:42 AM
To plant for food is a key to saving some money in the food department, I know that the average vegetable lover has encountered the cost of vegetables any way that they buy them. They add up to be a good bit.
That makes me feel that if most people would learn to plant some of their own favorite vegetables for them self they would see the savings in their own budget. They even enjoy the benefit of having fresh produce. Just to think of planting a garden can paint a picture in your mind and it would be a nice picture with plants and all sorts of shapes and colors. It does that for me I like to plant seeds, plants, bulbs or trees. From the age of eight to the age of forty eight I have liked to plant gardens, like most garden lovers I saw what a garden has to offer. I was raised on a farm with (5) brothers and (6) six sisters and as family we raised all of our food, we depended on the farm for it. After all of the attention and the care that we put into raising the garden up to where we could see the sprouts and the tender young plants that we had planted so carefully things were getting exiting.
I knew that the garden was doing good up to that stage and I was ready to get to the next stage. Time has it's part in gardening as well, the time spent working in the garden was not just spent working because while working in the garden I often would do some brain storming and would come up some new ideas or come up with the answer to something that was bugging me earlier, or I would leave the garden with a relaxed feeling for the rest of the day. After the plants are up and on their own it was time to keep insects and animals out of the garden, plus the grass and weeds has to be cut out from around the small plants so that they are not choked out.
Then the time for harvest was at hand and the garden had been well taken care of and it showed, there were peas of different sorts, there was corn, okra, butter beans, greens of different sorts, and squash if we could plant it for food we planted it. For me gardening took me and grew on me. I have enjoyed it every since, and I love gardening as much I love the great tasting produce fresh from the garden.
