I belong to a farmer’s family.

After settling down in the metro cities, I have noticed my family

craving to spare their time for Mother Nature. Having a family background with an ample
number of agricultural jobholders, I decided to devise a small garden of my own. Earlier in
my penthouse, I decided to create a small rooftop garden due to lack of space. This is how
gardening helped me release the amplitude amount of endorphins in my whole family after a
stressful day. Soil is the most important trait for gardening. It requires the accurate level of
manure and water to flourish and drop off blooming yield. Soil is a requirement because it
constitutes a certain amount of organisms that help in the conversion of plant nutrients from
the putrefied subject. To harvest a beautiful garden, healthy soil is the most important
necessity. In my rooftop gardens, I have utilized an inadequate amount of space to grow
flowering plants and a few creepers and climbers for my kitchen. Gardening requires an
ample amount of attention and time. Starting from the preparation of the soil to the
composting till the blossoms are achieved, everything requires dedication. In the beginning, I
started with a proper layout for an inadequate stretch. Then I had to pick among the favored
and accessible varieties to start with. Obtaining good seeded plants and accessible supplies
available at my home, I started my gardening tenure. To help my mom’s kitchen I even
planted a few vegetable seeds such as bitter gourd, lemon, chilies, tomatoes, and a few
leafy vegetables. I affirmed to keep my plants away from the weeds and pests. I took
assistance from my uncle with organic manures and compost to get a better yield and
prettier blossoms for every morning to wake up to. I have used unused plastic bottles to
grow creepers and a few flowering and herb plants to create an aesthetic outlook for my
garden. Plants such as basil, money plants, rosemary, spinach, and much more hanging
houseleeks were grown from the waste bottles. The proper amount of sun and shade are
required as it may inhibit adequate plant growth. Butterflies, honey bees, flower beetles are a
regular visitor to my garden. A few of my houseplants are ferns, dracaena, philodendron,
and aglaonema. The vegetables I have grown are placed in a sunny spot, and there’s an
ample amount of water supply adjacent to it. These vegetables are used in our kitchen daily.
So my personal knowledge was the idea that plants have all kinds of benefits and I could
make a perfect layout with the amount of space I had in my house’s rooftop. The shared
knowledge was the additional information I got from my uncle about the compost and
manure.
