Who Helps Me In The Garden? #HiveGardenQOTW

A question that can certainly be discussed, especially if your garden is very large. But not a few of the members of this community must only have small gardens such as on the balcony or terrace of the house. But, if you know about my garden which is quite large, there are around 3000 hydroponic holes, I definitely need someone to help me #hivegardenqotw.

It can be said that they are very good people and contribute greatly to my garden, especially having several tasks that are in accordance with their competence. They are both my mother and wife. If you can see the @aswita account then you know that she is someone who can carry out tasks well, such as harvesting and utilizing vegetables in our garden well. Of course she has warm hands to cook lots of delicious food.

I took a photo of her with a tomato plant, can that be called a tree? I think of course, it is similar to a combination of a tree and a climbing stem, but it is stronger than a climbing stem. We have 3 tomato plants that cannot be harvested yet, but have made great progress. I took a picture of it 1 week ago and you can see the progress is quite sharp.

It seems that my wife has been waiting for the right time to harvest tomatoes, I like tomato juice with sugar, although I know my wife will be angry because I use too much sugar, but it doesn't matter, I think next time I will mix it with stevia.

Next after my wife is my mother, a specialist in plants that grow from soil. My mother really likes various flowers, almost all the flowers in my garden are hers. But, over time her flowers have to give way because our hydroponics are increasing, according to market demand.

My mother likes gardening and making soil for planting media to be sold. Our house is right in front of the road and it is an opportunity to make money from selling lots of planting media. Often my garden is thought to be a flower shop, so we take advantage of that opportunity.

I'm sorry I couldn't take a picture of my mother at that time, because she was busy and was in the back yard, so she didn't wear a hijab to protect her head and hair. So, she was very embarrassed to be photographed, also because her job required her not to appear well because she was wearing clothes that were ready to get dirty. At least her hands alone indicate an old woman from the many wrinkles.

There should be someone else, my father. But he is a very shy person. Usually he helps in mixing hydroponic fertilizers. Do not doubt his expertise, he is a retired civil servant from the Ministry of Agriculture. He is very skilled in this field, especially cocoa and coffee trees. Sometime I will tell you more about him.
