REFLECTION AND ANALYSIS

Gardening is easy at first sight but actually there are many process to do until you fully
understand the importance of gardening. Not all of us are born with green thumb but if you
love to learn about how to take care of plants, you can easily do it properly and you'll start
enjoying it. Understanding the needs of plants may reduced stress, cleaner air, and a happy
environment. A garden needs an attention like how a new born baby needs. First, you must
clean the surroundings of your garden in order to be pleasureable for the people around you.
Spending a day by cleaning and cutting the grasses scattered around is a big relief for me. It was
a fresh start for me for doing this kind of activity because I'm not really into plants but I slowly
liking it. The sweat that comes out in my body was so refreshing. I never felt this thing lately
because I'm busy with school works. After removing all the grasses, I started to cultivate the soil
before planting so that it will breaks up the crusty surface. Then, I putted fertilizer (cow's poop
cause it's effective fertilizer as what I have remember) and water and cultivated it again. Later
on, I started to plant the seeds. I never really expected that planting is a good activity for me. I
fully understand now that planting gives joy and freedom of thoughts in many ways. Since I
have two different seeds ( eggplant and tomato), I planted twenty seedlings on the poly bag.
After a couple of weeks, I checked the plot that I make and clean it again since there are lots of
scattered grasses in there. Then, I moved the ten plants when it was 30 centimeters tall on the
plot. The remaining ten plants were taken by the farmers. I'm relieved because I did a great job.
I thought that it won't grow that way since I'm not good at that thing. Planting is such a great
experience for me, like plants, we also need a process to grow and be the best version of
ourselves. Others opinion doesn't matter for what we have become. It's like a tomato which
once have been a seed and after a couple of days and night of knowing oneself, it slowly grows
beautifully. Sometimes, we just need to try to discover things on our own way to help us
uncovered new learnings and make a chamber for possession which have an innumerable
value.
