Hello friends !

In the era of rush , People want everything readymade, be it clothes, food or anything else....But in this run-of-the-mill life we have forgotten the real meaning of living...And we are just suffering from health issues and depression.

I am also one of those who wants to enjoy all the facilities available today without do much hard work. But For the last one year I have been very inspired by my father-in-law , Who always believes in hard work. He start to grow vegetables at farm and now we all loves to go there and watch them grow. They inspired us to grow at home garden. Last time we grow okra , spinach , coriander and tomato.

This time He gave me some seeds , seeds of okra , corn , apple gourd and beans and He told me to grow all this. First of all I sowed corn and okra seeds. And my husband sowed beans and seeds. About which i am going to share today.

For this first I prepare the soil mix with garden soil and cocopeat, vermi compost. I took 50% soil , 30-35% cocopeat and 15-20% vermicompost .

Than i make hole in some space and put seeds 1-1.5 inch deep.

While Put seeds in each hole i create some positive thoughts, about which i read somewhere.

I create thought that :

• please grow well and alongwith all we too grow in every aspect of our life .

• Be healthy and we also stay healthy.

• Spread happiness and positivity and we all should do the same.

We create some positive thoughts like this .

After that i cover all holes with the soil.

Than i spread cow dung powder on this.

Second the sown okra seeds , I put seed in every hole with positive affirmation and cover it with soil and spread a thin layer of cow dung powder.

corn and okra need sufficient sunlight and moist soil. So I then poured some water on the soil.

That time i was feeling so happy and positive so i captured a selfie too 😛😛.

After waiting for 4 days , seeds start to germinate and first okra plant come out and say good morning to me one morning 😊😊
In the evening there were some more seeds start to germinate.

And next day i saw one corn seeds to germinate and than 6-7 seeds.

Here you can see the picture of one to five days old plant pictures.

I know this is only first step, Now I will have to take a lot of care of them, but I am happy that at least one phase is completed.
To grow corn is my first experience.
