The Growth Process
WHAT?: My Greek Father has a tradition every year that he’s kept for ages. Every spring season he plants a huge garden in the backyard. Every year it gets more and more complex and that much more rewarding. This year we have blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, herbs, tomato’s, cucumbers, tomatillo’s, tobacco, mint, all types of roses, all types of sunflowers, apple tree, fig, plum… the list is limitless!
WHY?: To plant a seed, watch it grow, to care for it, and then to accept its rewarding gifts is a joy man has experiences since the beginning of time! As we’ve learned in the previous post, sometimes its about the process and not immediately about the reward. You work a little bit to care for your creation like a child and when it grows up, it will return the favor with fruit that you can say you grew yourself!
HOW?: This really isnt much work at all. Either buy a plant or get some vegetable seeds, some good nutritious soil, and plant! Water every 2 days or as perscribed by the internet. You can find all your instruction on the internet. You dont need land, you can even use pots in your house right by the window.
CONCLUSION: As a human being, we must follow the tradition giving to us by the beings that walked the earth before us. Work the soil, Till the soil, Plant trees, flowers, and fruits all over the world and let it flourish with wonders. Having a plant in your home and caring for it will undoubtedly make you a much more fulfilling person. You will be much happier you tried it. I guarantee it! (Or your money back)
