The Joy of Having Your Own Garden

Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog

Today I would like to share with you my little garden. I have a small garden that is within my compound and this includes the pepper and vegetable leaves. I'm one person who like to practice agriculture no matter the little space I have sometime I can chose to use the seedbed method.

Planting my own veggies has been a very fulfilling one, Seeds growing into healthy mouthwatering crops is always interesting and makes me feel like I am a part of the process. As much as my garden is small trust it has been a source of joy and satisfaction to me, it has really saved a lot of money especially in this current economy that the price of foodstuffs are very high, small garden like this has gone a long way in helping save money.

Initially, I used sowed some pepper seeds which have developed into strong and healthy growing plants. I also have grown vegetable leaves such as pumpkin, scent leaves because they grow very fast and it takes not more than a month to have another harvest for the pumpkin you can start harvesting from the leaves before the fruit, and for the pepper in just a month you have it's fruit. This just reminds me that there is nothing as having your own farm and picking the vegetables for cooking.

It has also been interesting having a garden and made me learn how to be patient as well as being responsible. For the plants I have learned how to water them and make sure they get a proper share of the sun and organic manure, Gardening at home is a rather straightforward task yet it is quite rewarding and much needed to have a bond with nature.

If you are considering starting your own garden i strongly suggest to go ahead and do it. It is not necessary that you need to have a large area in order to begin with. It does not even require a huge piece of land or a garden, it could be a small patch or few pots on a balcony which can suffice to grow some of the herbs or vegetables friendly to you.

Organic farming at the backyard can also be economical and healthier too in the long run while ensuring that one gets the required nutrients from the meals prepared from the farm products. You will not need to rely on supermarkets for your produce and you will be eating fresh food that has not been laden with chemicals. In a way, I have gained new skills, tasted delicious fruits, vegetables and so on, felt that I am connected to mother earth to some extent.
