After starting this blog for not too long, my garden turned into a jungle. Recently my sunflowers bloomed. I took one to my mom’s to cheer her up.
Small achievements are great if you don’t expect much for your garden.
Then I started another round of seeding my plants and they grew. Many died in my hands and I thank them for the sacrifices they made to increase my knowledge. I’ve found that seed starting trays are useful. They have gone through many rounds of giving birth to tiny plants. Then once these young plants are sturdy enough, I’ll transplant them into hydroponics station. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don’t. If I transplant them too early, the plants died. So I did the transplant when they have a lot of tiny leaves.
Do you know, Dr. Benjamin Rush, the “Father of American Psychiatry,” said that plants can help you heal? Not the exact words. Perhaps I could learn about building one to help others.
At this age, I’m a parent and also a child to my parent. What about you?
