Summery Months for Now



I have not been posting here lately because I got busy with my first love, which is gardening and seeding/sowing (of herbs and in-door plants), while it is still summer. The wide span of 3 acres in Beaumont has not been even planted to fill its space. Just a few patches to enjoy the farming activity per se. I will need to say it is hard labor, tilling the soil, clearing the weeds, then sowing the seeds. Afterwhich, the watering follows and then the clearing of weeds again, until it can be harvest time.

The two forthcoming seasons will soon drive my passion away, with the cold wintry and chilly days, not conducive at all for plants to prosper. The least consolation I will have is to_have my first harvest in this country, when the squash, yellow corn, potato, lady finger and hopefully the carrots can fruit and mature successfully.

oh yes! A farmer will always be a farmer, no matter what work he gets to live by and retire from...i am learning a lot on how plants are raised and reared..organic plants need only water and the sun..without these two elements, growing would be retarded and hardly become a success..

Talking about green thumbs, hey, would you believe run into a caimito and siniguelas seedlings at the Flea Market and bought them. Regretably, I still have not transplanted them in my backyard. Man, I am so excited to watch them grow and finally start bearing fruits (maybe 5 years from now). I already have 2 pomegrenates that are bearing fruits and a Mcneary lemon that goes crazy bearing fruits every year. More often than not, most of them go to waste. Gave some to my next door neighbor last season. Deposited some in the freezer and there they will stay for how long, I don't know. I like to grow flower plants also. Like, roses being top of the line. Hey, don't get me wrong now. LOL! Just love nature, dig?

i would certainly trade places with one having fruit bearing trees at his own backyard or acreage. I've been watching YouTube episodes of fruit trees growing industries and it simply amazes me to find fruits borne by various trees and being collected for selling as fresh produce. I also have this habit of collecting the seeds of and fruit I eat in the hope that I can plant them and see them bearing fruits somehow. An item in my bucket list even includes picking apples, oranges and its like. I also love taking care of herbs and flowery plants. I love looking at their beautiful colors in any garden. Maybe next summer I will lucky to plant more of them. I started with veggies this summer and can't wait to see how they will mature and I canharvest fruits of my labor. I find great consolation from doing it.
