Essays on vegetable garden notes

There is an open space in my backyard, which is about eight square meters. Although it is small, it is an indispensable landscape. It is not only our "vegetable garden", but also our "paradise".

At the beginning of spring, my wife couldn't hold back her inner excitement, leveled the soil that had been frozen for a winter, then hoed the ditch, bought some melons and vegetables seedlings cultivated by vegetable farmers at the market, and looked forward to taking care of them. Fertilizing, planting seedlings, watering ... There are many processes. Looking at a row of neat tomato seedlings, pepper seedlings and cucumber seedlings nodding frequently under the touch of the spring breeze, our hearts can't help but overflow with endless warmth. In order to enrich the contents of the garden, my wife "adapted to local conditions", sprinkled amaranth seeds, planted beans, and planted several sunflowers beside the vegetable field.

In the evening, we always go to the small garden to have a look, water, weed and conserve moisture. Sometimes, we just do nothing but look at it quietly, expecting surprises. "People are diligent in making treasures and lazy in growing grass", and our hard work can always be recognized. Seeing those brand-new little heads emerge from the ground and look at the world with surprise, our hearts are as sweet as drinking honey. Three-year-old children are also busy, with high interest, pointing to ask this and that, and there are always endless reasons. Every time he waters, he always comes to join in the fun and grabs the hose. I am afraid that he will flush the vegetable roots, so I will guide him. It is very cute to see him standing and focusing on watering vegetables when squatting. The rushing water rushed into the vegetable garden, moistening the land and nourishing the seedlings. I seemed to hear the sound of the seedlings "sucking" and whispering.

"No pains, no gains". Under our careful care, the vegetables and fruits in the garden grow gratifying and bring us different surprises and comforts every day. Small yellow flowers blooming in cucumber, clusters of small white flowers blooming in pepper, small purple flowers blooming in eggplant ... and trumpet-shaped pomegranate safflower of a tree beside the vegetable field, pitching and posing, set each other off. People feel that this is not a vegetable garden, but a garden. What surprised me even more was that such a small vegetable garden attracted many bees and butterflies and danced around it. The wife can't help chanting: "The flowers are fragrant and the bees and butterflies come, and the garden is elegant and the guests are coming." When I saw my wife's feelings, I was not to be outdone. I touched the scene and said, "The flowers in the garden are competing to add beauty, and the butterflies among the flowers are dancing to help the harvest." After that, my wife and I looked at each other and smiled. Unexpectedly, the vegetable garden became our "literary garden".

"every flower in a crop depends on its fertilizer.". Supplementing vegetables with staged nutrition has become part of our care for the vegetable garden. The careful wife also found a small bamboo pole to set up a shelf for the cucumber, while the melon seedlings were given the steps to climb up and hold their heads high, as if they were full of energy. Beans are not willing to lag behind, and desperately follow the bamboo pole, as if they were competing with cucumbers. Amaranth is silent and enjoys its own space. The fat page is glowing red, like a tired child, and its chubby face flies to Hongxia.

before you know it, summer is here, and the vegetable garden is already a different scene. Fist-sized eggplant is watery and struggling to grow; Small bell-like peppers fall all over the branches; The tomatoes called "love apples" are green and red, and three or five are crowded together, whispering; The oil-skinned cucumber without thorns hangs meekly on the shelf and is delicious. A cool breeze in Xu Lai, the fruit hidden among the leaves, like playing hide and seek.

when cooking, my wife and I always go around the vegetable garden, pick some fresh peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes, beans, etc., and eat the pollution-free green vegetables we planted ourselves. Our hearts are very relaxed and comfortable, and our sense of accomplishment and happiness overflows. Sometimes, when neighbors come to visit and see a small vegetable garden, there is such a world, they always praise it, which makes my wife and I feel elated and a little high. When we leave, my wife and I always offer some fresh vegetables so that they can share the joy of our harvest.

What used to be an unremarkable clearing has now become a "supply station" for vegetables on our dining table and a "paradise" for life. In growing vegetables, we are grateful for the massiness of the land, enjoying the process of labor and feeling the philosophy of life. We are really happy.
