Garden is always one of our dating place, one of our family bonding place. Yes you read it right because my husband, me and our son will have a good time in our garden.

Gardening is always part of our family bonding and exercise. We enjoyed being there and we have a different task to do but we always end up helping each other.

One day, our god father gave us cassava stem for planting. He said it is another good variety of cassava. My husband is curious about it so we planned to plant it very soon.

There is a holiday here in our country and my husband don't have work during holidays so it is a great time for family bonding, a great time for gardening.

We went to our garden to plant the cassava but before that we need to prepare the land. My husband do the preparation while I do the cutting of cassava stem. I'm almost done cutting all of them when my husband noticed that I cut it so long, lol. He said that the cassava stem is like a firewood because of its length, lol. But off course it can still be planted hehehe.

While my husband is preparing the land, our son is also busy with his own work which we didn't told him to do so. He is trying to make a hole so he could also plant a cassava but I told him the hole is so near to each other.

When I'm done, we started planting the cassava. Our little one can't stop himself to help. His father teached him the right position of the cassava to be planted.

We planted them one by one, our son is the one to put cassava stem on the hole and I am the one who will plant it. My husband also helped me when he's done.

We still have time when we're done planting so we decided to clean the cassava area that we planted a months ago. We uprooted grass and weeds.

I and my husband works together to make our garden clean and full of plants.

It is so good to see it clean and free from weeds. I also felt happy seeing the plants grows steadily and healthy.

Here we planted the new and another variety of cassava. Hopefully they will grow fast and healthy.

When we planted something, we also expect to harvest something in the right time. We went home that day having two bunch of bananas we harvested from our garden. We felt so grateful and blessed having another harvest. Someday we can also harvest from the cassavas we planted.


Planting will teach you patience while waiting for the plants to grow and bare fruits. It will also give you satisfaction seeing them grow and above all when you can harvest fruits from them. It will teach you to be grateful especially when you are eating the fruits of the plant you planted.

So, take time to plant! Take time to have a garden and do the gardening.

This is also my participation for the Hive Garden September Challenge. You are also invited to join. Let's go and inspire more people to do gardening.

Thank you so much for reading. Have a great week ahead.

That's really an awesome family bonding. And even your son, may pagkukusa na tumulong, pakasipag naman ay. Maaga syang matututo sa ganito and he'll know too how important gardening is, or having own garden sa loob ng bakuran.

Planting will teach one patience because that is required to have a bountiful harvest later. You and your family used that as an opportunity to bond together and your son is also helpful. This is something children should be taught; how to be of help to others and their family.
You have a beautiful garden 😍

It's always a wonderful thing to see a family bonding while gardening. Start them young and they will be gardeners for life.

I wasn't sure what the cassava plant was used for and learned that it is used to make flour. I'm sure it is a lot healthier than the bleached flour that is sold in supermarkets.

Everything looks sop healthy.

Yes family in the garden is so good to see. We want our child knows how to garden because this is one of the basics of life.

Cassava can be cooked boiled and eaten. We can also make different recipes out of it. I shared about bodbod, a delicious food made of cassava, check it out HERE
