Ladies of Hive Community Contest #180 - Taking care of my garden
For the @LadiesofHive - #180 Contest this week the questions are
I’ve recently renewed an old interest in hobby gardening in growing flowers, fruit, and vegetables outside my home. I may not save much out of my food expenses, but this is more for personal satisfaction as well as relearning old skills. Do you have a garden? Or wish you had one? What would you like to grow in your own little paradise?

2️⃣ Do you like to Thrift shop? Shopping for used clothes and useful household items are a practical, economical, and earth friendly way to outfit yourself and home. And once in a while you make that perfect ‘find.’ Share with us that found treasure and why was it perfect?
Over the last few years gardening has become one of my favorite activity. I have developed this fondness only in the last 10 years. To be very honest before that I lived such a fast paced life which was like morning 8 to evening 7 at office and then some little time at home with family, I barely noticed nature around me. It was only after I quit my job my attention started going to these finer things of life and gardening was one such activity that I started getting fond of.
As of now I have a very small garden in my balcony and I keep growing something or the other in it. In this moment, what grows in abundance in my garden are the Aloe Veras and Basil. Then others are flowers and ornamental plants. Sometimes I also grow some food like last season I had a very nice bitter gourd plant and garlic growing. This season I have not been able to focus on my garden much as I have been travelling very frequently to India.
In my new home which is now almost ready I have kept a very big garden space and I intend to grow lot of food there. I definitely want to grow the day to day common food items there like Onions, Potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, chilies, lemons and variety of herbs and fruits. I am already consulting a gardener of that area to understand what would be ideal to grow in that soil and now next when I travel in May back home, I will start with the planting based on the season.
That's my little garden space for now.
Gardening is a very satisfying activity, whenever I spend time there after that I feel fully energized and feel like I have accomplished something very big. When I look at my plants there is a sense of joy in taking care of them. Now I also have a bee hive in my garden which I am taking good care of. It's been there for almost a year and twice I have been able to extract honey out of it. All of these things are of utmost joy and satisfaction to the soul.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

How beautiful that many of us could have a beautiful garden preserving what we like the most, each plant means a lot to us, and more when we do it from the heart, I like your garden, happy day.
When we nurture them and they grow it is the utmost feeling of satisfaction that we get
Gardening is a beautiful thing to engage in and it's a good thing that you now have more time to focus on the Little things around you.
I hope your garden would be a success, I hope to come around some other time and see how well they are doing 🥰

I love having a garden too :) It's been my stress reliever for a year now, and I'm glad to enjoy it every singe day ;)
That's wonderful, it is magical when you have it in your space
What a beautiful and colorful space!
Thank you
Honestly, I don’t like to thrift shop. I don’t really like to buy things that have been used
It’s not bad to buy them though but I don’t just like them
Same here, I have never been into it. I may go for cheaper options but have never done thrift shopping
@nainaztengra I recall previous posts of lovely blooms adorning your home making full use of what little space you have. Now that you will be living in a new home with a new plan to broaden your gardening passion I will anticipate seeing over the years to come. Gardening is not only practical, it is spiritual, an art form, a social and cultural touch stone and a part of our nature. 🍯

It's a matter of just 2 to 3 months now till I start it full fledge over there and I cannot wait to. It has a very profound effect on the mind for sure.
Yes you achieved something very big and have your results looking so beautiful to. Well done👍🏽
Thank you
If you are fulfilled then you are very beautiful in which a new form and new color can be seen all around. In our garden there is a guava tree and a pomegranate tree in which the rest of the plants are full of flowers whose fragrance is smells good
Pomegranate, wow. It has beautiful flowers and the fruit is also very healthy one

I would want to have a garden of my own and also grow basic plants on it, experiment with what works and why, and also how plants grow up. I think gardening has a great grounding effect on us, we're less in our heads and more aligned with the Earth, tending to it and getting rewarded with soul enriching energies :)
That's right it has amazing grounding effect and makes us feel so connected with Mother Earth and nature
