What We Are Growing

in #nature6 years ago

I love the earth. I like to feel the Nature close to me and enjoy the feeling of our infinite connection.

How many I remember myself, from the very childhood, I dreamed that I would have a house. Not an apartment, not a trailer, but a house.

Now I know that the earth feeds us with energy, it gives us support and carries us on itself, whatever we are. Here is from where coming this attraction to life on own land, to the space of "own" sky above my head.

It so happened that last autumn our friends offered us to rent their house for a long time.

I'll tell you honestly, we did not even think about it and immediately agreed.

We live in our house since October 2017. In the winter we already began to germinate the seeds of vegetables, to plant them in the garden in our yard in spring.

Today for your attention is a hit parade of everything that our family is growing this year!

Tomatoes

Without too much agitation, I note that the most delicious tomatoes grow on the Ukrainian black earth, only tomatoes from Georgia can compare with them.

Eat, and firmly realize that a tomato is a berry.

Tomatoes are also good because besides vitamins they contain fructose, glucose, mineral salts, iodine. And also magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, sodium.

Here we have grown tomato jungle!

And cucumbers are not fall behind our tomatoes.

They hopple the whole wall, clinging to specially stretched threads.

We grew a lot of cucumbers.

We share them with friends and exchange with neighbors.

Strawberries.

Aromatic, sweet. And fructifies all year round))

Some from the inedible

Instead of leaving in the barbaric past the tradition of decorating a felled Christmas tree for the New Year, we invented our tradition.

Every new year we will buy a Christmas tree in a pot, and in spring we will plant it in an open ground.

This little Christmas tree is the beginning of this tradition

Sunflowers.

Decoration our entrance! A warm yellow color raises the mood and warms the soul.)

There is also such a bonus.

A huge tree full of sweet apricots. It belongs to the neighbors, but they are not interested in the crop and gladly let us climb the tree and feast by vitamins.

To live on the ground, in own home, grow life and enjoy its fruits - it certainly is not happiness in the full sense of the word, but definitely one of the strings to it!

For the Benefit of All Living Beings!

Very nice try. You grow all the vegetables and fruits that are very helpful for human body. They contain such vitamins, minerals, nutrition, that are very needed to grow up. Take care of them and carry on. We all should follow your productive example.

Thanks!! I will gladly share my own experience, or will accept anyone's for me! To have a personal garden is a famous relaxation practice in Ukraine! So we can also change for those, which we don't have in garden with our neighbors)
Let me know, please, when you will try)

My favorite photo is the sunflower! I like your idea about planting a Christmas tree instead of shopping one down each year.

You are more than welcome to join this initiative! We can even organize the Plant Christmas Tree! action when it will be closer to date

Sounds like a good plan!

So, let's participate! I will invite you personally)

Sounds great! It will be here before we know it!!! 🌲🌱🌲
