QOTW Week 3 – Gardening in My Family / ちょうどいい距離感での家族とガーデニング
My love for gardening was deeply influenced by my mother and her parents, for me grandparents. Sadly, they have all passed away, so I cannot show you their gardens. I think they would have been proud—or at least curious to my gardens 😉
So I write about my family. As for my partner, gardening is not really his thing. He has probably stepped out onto our balcony... maybe ten times in total in the last three years 😅 Still, we both share an appreciation for nature and care about the environment, so we meet in values if not in habits.
My daughter, on the other hand, often helps out and loves spending time with me on the balcony. I sometimes wonder if her fondness for vegetables comes from growing up around plants since she was a baby. Her first plant was a tomato and it's all time her favorite.
In addition to tomatoes, she enjoys growing carrots for her papa. It's his favorite. We enjoy the home grown carrots with wild strong flavour.
This Sunday, I’ll be showing my family the new garden space I’ve recently rented for the first time.
If my partner were a passionate gardener too, we might have ended up competing for space on our little balcony! So in the end, the different “gardening enthusiasm levels” in our family might actually be just the right balance 😊
That's it! I wish you all have a wonderful weekend!
🌱 Thanks for reading 🌱

私がガーデニングを好きになったのは、母と祖父母の影響が大きいです。残念ながら皆すでに他界していて、母や祖父母の庭を見せることができないのが残念です。
ということで家族とガーデニングについて書くことにします。相方はガーデニングにはあまり興味がありません。この3年でバルコニーに出てきたのは…多分10回くらい?😅 でも自然が好きなところや、環境に配慮している考え方など、価値観では共感し合えるところがあります。
子供はガーデニングよく手伝ってくれて、バルコニーで一緒に過ごす時間も大好きです。野菜が好きなのは、赤ちゃんの頃から植物に囲まれて育ったおかげかもしれません。初めて育てたのはトマトで、今でも一番好きな植物の一つです。
この数年は相方が大好きな人参を育てるのにはまっていて、野生的な強い風味の自家製人参を、家族で楽しんでいます。
今度の日曜日、最近借りた新しい庭でイースターのエッグハントをやろうという話になり、家族に庭をお披露目します。写真はもう見せてあるので大丈夫だとは思いますが、気に入ってくれるといいな。
今回この投稿を書きながら、もしパートナーもガーデニングに夢中だったら、小さなバルコニーを取り合うことになっていたかも?と思いました。そう考えると、家族それぞれのガーデニング熱のバランスは、意外とちょうど良いのかもしれません😊
それではみなさん、素敵な週末を!
🌱読んでくださってありがとうございます🌱

I do not understand the language, but from the pictures, it seems like a post related to your gardening journey... thanks for sharing... its for the brave of the heart 🌼❤️ #Gardening #Plants
You can use the translate function in Peakd to understand.
I wrote it in English too, the language you reply to me 😉
i guess i did not scroll it fully... or my eyes just couldn;t see past your language..
Ah, yes, you'd need two balconies! And I think the smartest, best thing ever as a parent is to introduce them to gardening! I mean, I bet you thank your grandparents, right? Did your parents garden at all?
The HIVE GARDEN COMMUNITY supports gardening, homesteading, cannabis growers, permaculture and other garden or botanical related content. Delegations to the curation account, @gardenhive, are welcome! Find our community here!
I am also very fond of agriculture and gardening, want to publication soon in this community and hope all the members of this community will welcome and support.
For sure people do 😊 Hive Garden is one of the friendliest and welcoming community on Hive!
Thank you I will try it and publish tomorrow.
I tried some times to convince my partner to start gardening and he founded a company to sell a gardening product I designed. But even though he grow any plant 😅 Now I regard this situation a kind of peace in family that we don't to fight for the growing space on the micro balcony.
I enjoyed writing this post and like the idea of the question of the week 👏
Happy gardening!
😜
I'm glad people are writing responses for the QOTW as last year when I tried no one did!
