Life always surprises us with new things , new people , new relationships , at the end of the day its how you handle stuff that keep things going . But every thing needs a break , space , and and also not to forget to see the value of the old things when new ones are around.
Why i'm saying this is because , hmm ok, a little philosophy but its fine sometimes to go through some lol
ok coming back to the topic so you understand what i tried to convey and understood from my plants this week.
Its been sometime , to be frank that i had put in some effort to work in my garden , its getting hotter now a days and the sight of seeing the plants drying sooner and the extra effort of watering etc was making me to back off the whole thing , That's when the tattoo man challenges me . Hmm yeah your heard it right , that my maid at home , and that what i call him because of the large tattoo that he has on his hand ,with pride he shows it out, saying he got it done at cheaper rates, He advised that i was going to pay a lot if i had done somewhere else ..I'm in a Tatoo Mode , i need one ,but the thought of not able to donate blood in emergency has put things on hold , not sure how far that true thou ......Anyways so what he did was he just pulled out some of the bitter gourd seeds from the waste that i had kept to add it to the compost and dug it near by the banana plant , which has no much of an improvement from the time it was planted .
He teased my ego saying that he had a green thumb better than mine , is it the weather , everything seems to be germinating faster or is that he really have a green thumb ! hmmp or is it that he understood how to grow in the desert while i'm still learning ! My inner soul didn't allow to back away , but i stood there seeing this grow faster and greener .
On a other side i was happier because i had given him a chance to grow something in my backyard while i was away with several reasons to keep me off gardening , i at least didn't allow the green go away from the backyard , so its still fine .somethings growing and there's some reason for me to go back and see if i should go back and grow ! See that what i meant new relationships surprise you , They tend to give you a chance to re-live the moment that you wanted to be in ! But that doesn't mean the old ones die , they live as well , showing how you miss the moment you had , like for example my tomato plants which i pulled out to give space to the new , It gave me more than 100 + tomatoes , there were good moments as well , which i cherish and don't want to forget , which grew from the compost , i just gave it a break ! ill grow those juicy tomatoes again for sure , it wont end.
So the bitter gourds are growing - Update as of 13-April -2014
See them flower - Update as of 20-April -2014 - i'm surprised they are growing in the ground
Ok so that doesn't stop the tattoo man , he helps me clear all the dried plants and clear up my patch of garden and get ready for new plants .We sow some beans seeds , They have all germinated in 3-4 days in the ground .
I'm working on the compost part , so i have a little more before i actually grow something in the pots . So this means i'm still hanging on to the old , though new things are up .
Old is as important as new & vice versa New is needed to understand what you lack and where you need to improve to keep the ship moving ! New might be temporary but i don't regret to cherish the moments well ! Its worth all the effort the tatoo mans putting in as well, whether big or small , he has in-turn given a chance to relive the moment i wanted to be in !
