I am wondering if there are people who don't love to step outside their doors and embrace this peaceful nature.
A space to enjoy calmness and unwind. A space you can hide and breathe freshness within. The truth is that most people would love a house with plants, but the stress of maintaining it scares them away. Good things don't always come so easy; you need to work for them in order to see results or perhaps pay for the service for another to take up the stress on your behalf.
Taking care of my plants has been something I am not consistent with, if I should be sincere. I used to have a gardener who usually visited my home once in a while to add manure, trim the plant, and make sure it was growing just fine. Then the guy told me to ensure I water it always during the dry season. That was where I started messing up with the plant, and the next thing was that it started withering. I don't know if the lack of water was the problem, but it wasn't just flourishing like before but still beautifying the house anyways.
Where my strengths speak louder is in my garden inside the house at a corner where I cultivated pumpkin leaves,cent leaf & curry leaf
It's very handy to step into my garden, pluck some veggies, and prepare a meal without first visiting the market. It saves me cost , saves me time as well and offers me that ability to eat something fresh.
A house with a garden and plants has been my favorite kind of house since childhood, and I am living up to my expectations in a low-key way for now and looking forward to expanding it more. My neighbors wouldn't fail to come begging to pluck my veggies almost on bi-weekly basis, lol. They don't have much space like I do, so I understand, but some of them simply don't want the stress because if not, planting in a bucket is still obtainable.
Two days ago, I bought additional pumpkin seeds, which I already planted this evening.
If you look closely at the seeds above, you will notice that one of them is already trying to sprout; maybe that's a sign of a good species, lol.
Finally, caring for my garden is so simple, as I don't have a large garden yet. I do not fail to buy some quantity of manure to add, observe weeding when necessary, and ensure my kids water them when needed.
