PLANTING our own vegetables on our yard
will help us for our livelihood, not just only in
getting our food for our lunch/dinner but also
it helps us appreciate what we work for. We
get a lot of vitamins from Vegetables, it can
help our body to fight against some particular
type of cancers. Also a healthy intake
of vegetables helps to burn the layers of fat in
our body this ultimately improves the blood
flow and helps in managing the blood
pressure of a person. So we should all grow
our own vegetables, because we need healthy
plants for our survival and as well as it is our
duty to save and take care of them. If plant will be healthy it will give large amount of
quality products which will be beneficial for us.

This garden is located at our backyard, wherein you

can see the different kinds of vegetable plants such
as Papayas, Tomatoes, Chilies, Lemons, Lemon Grass,
Jackfruit, Pumpkins, Bitter, Bitter Gourd, Pandan
Leaves and so on. It is been a several years since my
parents planted these plants on our backyard and
they continue to keep and grow it all, because it
contributes to our livelihood not just only for our
family but also our neighbors benefit from it. I know
that this is a small thing but if we think about it
deeply, it is one the biggest things that people needs
today especially in our current situation of Covid-19
pandemic.

I planted Tomato seeds on our backyard,

and these are dry seeds needed for the
crop to survive. Before that, I told my
mother to take me picture for the
documentation and then I have already
started digging and I have buried the seeds
in the ground then I poured water on it.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced

local communities to be on lock-downs
with most people especially the elderly
and the youth forced to stay home. With
nothing to do and with little economic support, there is a tendency for them to succumb
to depression. In this situation, anger, violence and frustration is prevalent. Through
backyard vegetable gardening is one of the best solutions since it offers multiple
benefits namely, exercise, food, nutrition, income and improved mental conditions. So
let us plant now and we will be happy to reap what we work for!

Gardening has always been touted as a

relaxing recreational activity that can
provide great personal rewards. During this
time, when many people are working at
home and students are learning at home,
gardening can be a positive family-inclusive
activity to adopt. If we start planting
vegetables, it not just only helps our health
and the community but also it helps our
environment to keep our mother earth
healthy and lively. So be the change we want
to see in the world.
