This pandemic we had experiencing right now really brought chaos to the world. There were lots of people suffers from it, many families were not able to sustained their finances and there lots of people lost this jobs and many people had the hard time of getting a job. All this were just some few effects of this pandemic that we faced today. But the good thing also is that, this pandemic opens a lot of doors towards other things, like working from home, lots of time bonds with the family, able to relaxed in some way to some stress works and mostly people nowadays as what I observed too, were so busy planting vegetables and other crops in their respective gardens.
Last February, my partner told me that he wanted to plant eggplants since they have the area to do the said planting. Definitely I agreed to his idea and we planned to plant lots of eggplants for us to also sell it to the market in order to have some money too since we have a kid that needs our financial support to his daily needs. Yes, we bought seedling of an eggplant and it has 800 pieces of seeds. And were very lucky that 90% of them germinates. My partner starts plotting first the seedlings.
We able to plant 500 plus seedlings, since we can't avoid that there were some seedlings that were wasted and we just very thankful that all of the seedling that we planted grows healthy. My partner always make sure to gave the fertilizers needed for the plant to grow healthier and there will no worms, ants and other bugs that can penetrate the plants for them not to grow well. I was just very thankful, that amidst pandemic we can still be able to do such things that helps us for living. Just recently I visited our garden, and I was so amazed that the eggplants start to bloom already. I've seen flowers in it already and aside from eggplants we also planted "ampalaya" and tomatoes.
Also, gardening I must say were very enjoying. The fact that, we can make viands fresh from the garden especially if we don't have any money to buy some foods in the market. Our garden will serves also as our source of food which is very essential since vegetables brought a lot of vitamins to our immune systems and it is good for the healthy lifestyle.
Aside from that, gardening in times of pandemic is very relevant since this may helped us survived from not going outside to buy something to eat. So instead of going out, we were going to the garden and get something to eat which is much healthier than buying from the market. Well, I'm not saying that gardening nowadays is the only essential thing to do. Well, there are lots of things that we can able to do in this time that we had right now for us to still be productive and of course for us to earn money while at home. Gardening is just one of the things that most of the people are doing it today, and knowing that fact, it was really amazing since it only reflects that we as humans, are very good in finding ways just to be productive despites the happenings in the world. We never lose hopes and still we strives for the better.
Also, it always a matter of hard work. If you were such a hardworking person then everything will just be easy for you and graces will surely comes in you.
Sometimes, me and my partner also argued on both our time because sometimes we can't be able to managed our time properly which lead us to arguing. Since, my partner needs to go everyday in the garden to do some works there for the plants to grow healthy but sometimes our time conflicts since I also worked online. Just recently we argued on it because he had to go the garden to spray medicine for our plants because there some insects that prevents the plants to grow, and that day also I accepted a paper works to one of my student and that conflicts our time which somehow leads to arguing.
I shared that, because I just wanted to let others know that in times of pandemic whatever things you may do to sustains living both ends if you had already a partner must always talks about the time of when the other one can works and the other will be the one to take care of the kid and vice versa to avoid such this king quarrel.
Well, planning on doing things like doing a garden must be mutual to both sides also in order to understands each others time.
Lastly, all I can say to all people out there....
"NEVER LOSE HOPES, JUST THINK SOME INITIATIVES TO BE ABLE TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN TIMES LIKE THIS AND HARD WORKING IS ALWAYS THE KEY FOR US TO DO SUCH THINGS THAT MAYBE HELPFUL FOR OUR DAILY LIVING"
Just don't let this pandemic ruins our capability to do work. NEVER!
